Yeah I mostly spared him (I took a last shot at getting an i5 14th) :) and will say nothing in the survey. It was close yeah, now I'm just hoping the i3 will arrive properly to sell it out :D

He said so in the ticket "Thank you for your response and the information provided. I checked the inventory for this Intel® Core™ i9-14900K processor and there are currently units in stock for your direct replacement product." It's odd that he said 14th gen when mine is 13th.. Half mistake? :D

Haha Charly be a dreamer! of course Occam's Razor applies here: The support guy made a mistake confused i3 with i9 (!) so I'll receive the same thing. Miracles are rare right? At least I'll get a new sealed i3 to sell :D
January 23, 2025 at 6:58 PM
Yeah since I swapped for the i5 12th, no issues. 13th and 14th are quite the same right? Well this rma i3 13th is > 2yo, so it might be the famous degradation. Yeah the i9 has a good price. I might buy a i7 12th, no K eventually. No need for more TDP/Heat :D

I told the guy "Mmm but 13th Gen has issues" so he went for that option. Anyway I just asked him if there was an extra cost, better be on the safe side :) If I actually get the i9 I'd probably sell it to cover the i5, what do I want an i9 for? :D Intel was always good to me, they replaced a NUC too!
January 23, 2025 at 1:36 PM
Oh no the horror, he didn't tell me such thing :o Wondering if I should ask. Anyway if that's the case I'll give it back haha.

True, but Linus, buddy, I need fun and also need food :D

About my i3 13th Gen issue, after installing an i5 12th (which works perfectly with motherboard, RAM etc) Intel support said they'll replace my dud i3, and as I told them "I don't know, do you have anything better? 13th seems cursed" the guy said "I have an i9-14900k in stock".. What? :D

Just took a look in a video, Sway might be too advanced for me but boy is it fast. I definitely want a Linux Desktop. I need to add back the RAM to my old Thinkpad and test it! Also PopOS is building a new Window Manager from zero. How cool.

Well I gave my sister my old Optiplex 790 SFF (love that thing) and it's an i5 3100 I think. It was a breeze with Windows 7, on Win10 it was ahem slow but a SSD upgrade improved it tons. With Linux it'd be a ball. I still hope to move my i5 Gen 9 to Debian asap!
January 19, 2025 at 4:42 PM
Haha hilarious, but that's me, shifting from software to hardware without notice. Too bad there's not an i5 Window Manager to go deeper into the confusion! :D Long story short the i3 was not doing fine, suspecting the Intel Gen13 curse, although the Windows curse is always top candidate :D

Hi Nick!! Indeed :) Hope you're doing good. People are coming! Slowly but surely. Technically Bluesky looks awesome now. I'll report that I didn't break any Linux during my absence. And I swapped an i3 for an i5 all by myself, first time ever, how about that :D

Hate/Anger is so expensive to me. As you say I kinda black out when I get angry. I don't like that feeling. The times I was pushed and instead of retorting I went "Oh really? look at that", it was so good. Yet, sometimes you need to vent or get choked. Curated indifference might be a good balance.
January 18, 2025 at 5:15 PM
Yeah I think we need to go minimalist on several things, music, movies/tv shows.. Sometimes I feel we've gone too far. Reboot!

This one is pure gold :)

Ah crazy things in the industry. At least back then it was about development software now they fight over stupid social networks :D

Rings a bell! Wasn't there a J Net or Visual J or something too by Microsoft? I remember Borland/Inprise had in fact a J Builder too :D
August 20, 2023 at 1:53 AM
Oh there was a Microsoft J# too right?
August 18, 2023 at 5:48 PM
Yeah you're right, the little I saw it of C# resembled Java (which I don't know much of either, but the syntax is recognizable). I think there's Delphi in the spirit, more than anything. Or maybe C++ Builder :D
