@nivrig How does that work on a core 2 solo 🤣
@arnan @nivrig afaik there is only one Mac with a Core Solo and it isn’t that one
@amselbock @nivrig then its a core2duo, still slow as hell for modern os’s 🤣 how is it performing?
@arnan @amselbock It’s a little slow, maybe, but entirely usable. I’ve been on YouTube, Twitch, ripping and playing CDs … general stuff. You’ve got two cores so maybe you can’t do a lot of things at once, and it would suck for modern games and encoding video probably. But for everyday use it’d be fine. I should try some 2000s games on it perhaps.
@nivrig @amselbock yeah a browser pc would be fine i imagine 😉
