    My CPU was mid range when I bought it five years ago and I use it process a 300gb+ database of price history. My day job is working jupyter notebooks hosted on raspberry pis. Not being able to process a 60000 row database is definitely a skill issue. Bad hardware should encourage good software.

      Don’t get me wrong, they’re idiots.

      But people are drastically underestimating how shitty government laptops are.

      But what do I know? What’s decades of direct experience when someone online has a Jupiter laptop?!

      Clearly you know more than anyone who actually deals with it

      Speaking of, it’s my mom’s b’day coming up, you clearly know more than me so what would a thoughtful and bespoke gift be?

        Flowers, her favorite unless her favorite is roses then go for something nice and in season. If you have the time bake her homemade cookies as well.

        The issue with your comments are not how bad government laptops are.

        The issue seems to be you don’t understand how little work processing even a million rows is.

          Yeah. Who needs decades of experience when people on the internet know better?

          Not like it’s ironic people people are doing the same thing Elon is or anything…

            Dude, I have fucking decades of experience. Enough to know that you’re full of shit.

            Like … Some stranger on the internet claiming absolutely stupid shit, and solely coming back to an argument based solely on self-reported authority. Self-reported authority that is obviously a lie based upon your claim.
