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.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My laptop is still chugging along since 2011, and I totally feel this comic.

It got an SSD to really boost performance.

It still runs Windows 7.

I can't create-react-app because I can't upgrade node to the version it requires.

Chrome doesn't update anymore.

This thing is robust and feels like I've had it forever.

I will be sad when it dies.

I'm thinking of buying a Thinkpad w530 for such "geriatric" tasks

You got yourself a Batocera station there, mister.

The magic of a ssd and a lightweight distro running xfce can even perk up an average system from 2010. Bonus points if you can upgrade the memory. You can probably still get to a login prompt in 20-30s, and cold boot to a link saved on the desktop playing music in under a minute.

That's about $30 USD in parts. You will probably struggle with more intense tasks. We just replaced desktops with similar specs that were just barely able to run optimized Minecraft a couple years ago.
