Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Words of wisdom from my father, an engineer:

"The computer isn't any slower than the day you bought it. Only your expectations of it have changed."

My C-64 still boots up instantly, just as it did on day one. Far faster than Windows could ever dream.

Surpised the capacitors havent borked. You are lucky it runs.

This is a lot more true now than it was in the olden days of hard drive fragmentation and rapidly increasing minimum spec requirements. (For instance the computer my family bought in 1996 had a mind blowing 16mb of ram, Win ME released in 1999 with a 32mb RAM requirement.)

I have a ten year old laptop as my NAS. It has some issues sometimes but it was a pretty cool project for tech I barely used anymore. Now I use it every day.

The laptop I use daily is 16 years old and still going fine.

My iMac is 11 years old. Use it to WFH two days a week and it's running on Windows 11 (Rufus build that skips all the hardware checks). Have to use that OS as it's a domain joined device using the work VPN. Works great.

Fresh OS install can do wonders. Especially if you switch to a lower resource intensive one.

Laptops had really good sound systems 25 years ago, mine still plays cds with the machine off :)
