I'll be back with a full picture for ENIAC-heika's 80th birthday but have a chibi ENYAC in the meantime.

EDIT: Forgot the seam between her neck/head. Fixed!

Ahhh, that's a cute chibi!  Cute and menacing cat, here to celebrate her big day!

The full size birthday art is amazing!  I like the way you've got the cables splayed out from her hands.  The layout as a whole is very good, I like the way the eye is draw to ENIAC-heika in the middle then out to her work scattered around.  Little pops of color like the shells and cards are a good contrast with the monochrome everything else.

Now there are rumors about prices for copper and gold going up, which would affect all electronics.

So I went and bought bits for my AM4 system. Going to build small-ish this time around. mATX. Ryzen5600, Arc B580. I've stockpiled enough ram to put 32Gb into it, have to see if I go with that amount, as Linux is very competent even on only 16Gb.

The case for the build. More PCs should have handles.

Love that case. Stylish and practical!

Considering the amount of activity here, I don't think necroposting is really an issue.
Usually necroing has been frowned upon is for bringing up old threads that might not be relevant anymore and pushing down newer topics. But I dont think it's really an issue on this forum.

Soo, uh. Discord is now feeding their data into Palantir?
I knew they were dirty, but I didn't think they'd be actually malicious.

I don't doubt this is happening (in fact I assumed the end goal of Discord collecting user ID info was forking it over to Palantir) but I had to do a bit of digging to find details.

This is really fucked.
