It's midnight and I'm going back through the CPUs of intel from the Pentium era to look at the voltages the chips run at...
I have been cursed by @da na

I'm talking original Pentium, so Pentium - Pentium D ... The modern pents are just not interesting to me
It's called the damn "PENT"ium because it's the 586 but they stopped at Pentium 4. Imagine making a processor literally called "FIVE", and then only making four generations. Good lord Intel

I don't blame you, the G4500 stuttered when the game pulled on all cores and could barely handle multitasking, leaving browser open vs closed while playing GTA5 single player, was a difference of seeing and not seeing not fully loaded graphics when driving fast

I miss connectors that screw down on computers
-
I don't. Fuck 'em. They're garbage. Make a better connector that doesn't need them instead of making a shitty connector that relies on screws.

I massively want to be on the deck of USS Missouri before I die

Any particular reason that ship in particular?
My interest in WW2 era warships started since playing Azur Lane. Only visited HMS Belfast so far but will try for more when the chance presents itself.
I just love the fact that it's the least battleship to be commissioned by the US and the fact she's been reactivated and modernized.

So I kinda live in the middle of no where but I have one advantage, a GIANT Amazon warehouse about 5 miles away...
Anyway, ordered something at 06:30 and it will be here before 18:00 today.... Not bad

To this day I have no idea how they managed to do this.
Lots of bigger companies work their warehouses late into the night. If you catch the right courier pickup within their distribution network it can happen. I've had several <12h non-local deliveries before from similar.
Best delivery speed (distance/time) I had was ordering from UK late on a Friday night to a west coast USA company. It arrived Monday 9am. Must have got just the right flights.

I once ordered a PSU from Mindfactory at around 20:00. Their distribution center is in Wilhelmshaven, which is one of the most northern cities in Germany. I on the other hand live near Karlsruhe, which is about 600km away relatively close to the French border. It arrived the next day with DHL at around noon. To this day I have no idea how they managed to do this.
Change UPS sign with DHL, and black car color with yellow.

Btw, I do imagine da na has the same giggly happy tone when inspecting the HW though, just like the vid you linked.
edit: I probably need to hide now, you know... before da na throws a 23kg laptop aimed at my cranium.

Oh you're totally right about that

That's just how it happens. Every morning I set out a plate of fruit for the crows and a plate of jumper caps, CMOS batteries, and solder balls for the computers.

Today I learned that the GBP is called the pound because 240 pennies weighed a pound (240 pennis made a pound before decimalisation)
