What do you use your computer(s) for?

It's the code that runs before your post is submitted to the server. It saves some information to the browser local-storage, which tracks which boards you've posted to among other things, and saves the content of the post into a local session variable.

4 laptops
2 active, for shitposting mainly, one used to be the network configuration computer (it has an integrated RS232)
1 for experiments
1 abandoned
A raspberry pi that has been everything it can be but now it's just a raspberry pi again.
and a tower with VMs.

Same here, this thread has been a pretty decent datamine

I currently own three traditional computers.
I have a Thinkpad with Linux Mint for email, shopping, pictures, and writing exercises. A desktop that I built myself for gaming with Windows 10. And I got some multiport graphics computer with Windows 7 that I'm trying to decide what to do with. Plus I have several broken laptops at different levels of repairs needed.

I mostly game, browse the Internet, manage pictures, and write. I prefer Linux for everything besides gaming.

Sell your laptops man. How broken are they? Do they need solder work?

One laptop overheats and was a shitty HP laptop with a broken hinge. It was previously owned by a very messy person but I'm thinking about getting the motherboard out and turning it into a properly cooled desktop.

Another laptop actually just needs a new harddrive and it's an IBM Thinkpad. And then there's an Acer that I've helped a family member with, replacing the screen when it got fucked by a power surge, but last time I was using it on Linux I got a white screen and that poor thing always suffered from heating issues, and then I have some old Dell laptop that just up and died on my brother and then someone gave him a Latitude and that has been steady since. I should sell most of them really, but I love recycling shit.

matrix operations and fourier transforms. lots of them.

If you can fix them and use them, go for it. If there are some you can't use, then I would take all the working parts you know out of them (like the HDD, RAM, maybe even CPU, but not stuff like the screen or kb) and sell them to someone who can refurbish them.

It sounds like most of them however that you can repair and use though.

music, programming, research, web, movies and books sometimes when the screen doesn't kill my eyes.
