✧✦Catherine✦✧thinking about how foreign the concept of an "upgrade cycle" is to me. i use devices until one of the following happens:
(mostly a mix of 2 and 3 depending on the device)
Martin Roukala (né Peres)@whitequark What? People don't repurpose their old computers for CI?
My 12 years old desktop computer (i7 4790) is there, from 2 upgrades ago. So is my previous PC and some friend's old test machine 🤣
The steam decks are pre-production units from me and my colleagues. Only the NUCs and SBCs were somewhat bought for the purpose.
Hopefully, #ci_tron will enable more devs to share their old machines with the world for Linux testing, thus keeping it working for longer.
elly@mupuf @whitequark I'm going to steal the idea of holding DUTs with paper stands for Chromebooks, thanks 
@elly @whitequark IKEA is GOATed for the home infras 🤣
@mupuf @whitequark the only problem with IKEA is that they're located in places that are nearly impossible to get to if you don't have a car. In every place I lived it's far and/or dangerous to get to (shout-out to nearly getting hit by a tesla in Strasbourg).
If I would want to go to IKEA now, it would be an 1,5h trip... one way. By car it would've taken 20 minutes
