Do you remember the bad old days when you'd go to someone's house and their browser would be unusable because it had so many toolbars installed? That was often from legit sites bundling crap into installers for software they hosted.
Is it possible the hard drive is failing in the old one? I don't know what the operating system would do if download speed surpassed write speed, but once it couldn't hold it in ram any longer waiting to write I guess it would have to throttle it.
The bandwidth of a network card would generally outclass your internet connection by an order of magnitude.
Gigabits per second network cards have been standard for at least a decade.
And then there's your wifi too, if applicable, but even that is much faster than your general internet connection, unless you're far from your router. A new laptop might help you get a better wifi signal, if it had a newer wifi protocol or stronger radio, but that's also going to depend on your router.
But in front of all of that is going to be your modem. Depending on the quality of your modem that might be a bottleneck.
A new laptop, even the best in the world, won't make your downloads any faster.
I also back what everyone else is saying. Unless of course you can update your current laptop. What have you got? An extra stick of ram and an SSD can make an old laptop feel brand new, especially with an OS reinstall
I don't know what I want. Something really basic? But then why not just but an e-bike? I initially thought a ct110 type bike, but what advantage does that have over a push bike? I'm not sure any more. Maybe I just want something I can afford and justify to my family.
The last Batman movie I saw was probably in the Dark Knight series and I'm pretty sure there was no Robin. When was Robin last in a big movie? Has he come back since then?
But generally they would be parked, right? At the office, or transport hubs? Maybe that's where the batteries need to be installed. Take the responsibility off private citizens and install it where there's going to be a mass of cars parked.
It's honestly my belief that Israel is doing half this shit to inflame the situation in an attempt to force the US into the conflict, because they know that only with America's military help will they be able to achieve their end goals
When I lost my credit card overseas I was issued an emergency replacement by MasterCard and it only had MasterCard branding. I guess sometimes they issue cards (unless they got a bank to print it without their branding).
Auto Hot Key, that's something I haven't heard of in a while. Probably because it's not as essential in a Linux environment when you can more easily accomplish most of what you'd accomplish using AHK in a shell script. What problem are you trying to solve using AHK? Someone might be able to tell you how to solve it.
The only thing I don't like about that versioning system is the ambiguity that can sometimes arise due to different interpretations of what the numbers after the first dot mean.
You could either say:
It's a decimal system, therefore 3.4 is bigger (comes after) 3.13. (3.4 > 3.13) or,
The numbers after each dot are independent, therefore 13 is bigger than 4, so 13 is the newer release.
It's usually fairly obvious from changelings but every now and then I get tripped up.
Blinkenlights appears to no longer exist :(
