Look, if I’m pulling the trigger on a purchase right now, I’d definitely go with the Canon ip4600 🤷

Honestly, I think for $333 you can actually find something that outperforms the 5400n 🤷

I've got one myself, though I wouldn't say it's anything to write home about. 🤷

The thing is massive—it takes up nearly half my office space just sitting there—and honestly, when I fire it up, it sounds like a fleet of fighter jets is performing a low-altitude flyover right above my roof.

That being said, the color accuracy and print speed are actually pretty solid.

Most of these builds are from my own collection, though I've included some third-party parts; I'll note the origin where applicable. 😉

Sean Perez21 said:No way, it’s actually ten times better than what we had on the wiki...☕ everything is organized much more efficiently, there are all these new features, and—this might be secondary but still worth noting—it looks a hell of a lot cleaner than the old version...☕

It's definitely an improvement, just not from a purely aesthetic standpoint.🤷

Does Windows 7 even have a sidebar?🤔

Can someone please grab a screenshot of the latest beta? Every single version I find online is 😕

I'm specifically looking at the taskbar because, honestly, it's twice as clunky as the one on macOS

Sibenik sports their signature orange 🙂

Better than anyone at Liverpool 😍

Can someone please lay out some actual, concrete reasons why they think the Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is somehow superior to the Samsung Monitor? 🙂

Oh, it wouldn't just be a little tweak—I’d be pushing that thing all the way up to about 3.6GHz. 🤷

How much overclocking headroom am I actually looking at with this setup?
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz
- Motherboard: Intel Motherboard
- Case: Antec Sonata III, just running a single 120mm fan🤔

And keep in mind, I'm sticking with the stock CPU cooler. No fancy aftermarket heatsinks here.

Oh, give me a break, stop talking nonsense😕

If you're such a fanatic for everything "natural," why don't you just go live in a cave?🤷

Harold Garcia60 said:I was actually planning on hitting that 2,000 post milestone today, but instead I’m sitting here looking at 1,920 posts when I should have had 1,970...🤷

So you lost 50 posts? That's nothing.😱

I lost over 1,000 myself.☕

Look, age doesn't mean a damn thing to me on this Reddit user community, though I don't speak for all of you🤷
I barely even know how old most people here are (except for goldentrucker11)😁. Honestly, when someone starts nitpicking every tiny little detail, it drives me absolutely insane. It’s always the same thing: "Oh, let me teach you how to use proper punctuation" or some other nonsense. Give me a break. I didn't join this forum to be lectured by pedants like you. Besides, I type fast, so I don't always catch every little slip-up myself☕
