Thought the same thing.
Reminded me of that scene in, “Creepshow” when the guy led his wife to the monster.

I think at some point it becomes a matter of conscience vs principles. I couldn't sleep at night if I knew there was a child sex predator on the loose. Want to defrock me and excommunicate me for it? Fine. This is where the Church has gone astray.

This is the result of the jewish cabal owning mainstream media. The propaganda over the last few generations has been, "White people bad, non-whites good." It has extended to sexual identity and preferences. "Straight people bad, everything else good."

There needs to be correction. It's past time that all this nonsense stop and we get back to telling the truth. If the truth hurts, so be it.

The tablet / portability factor is what jacks up the price. I mean, I don't know how important that is to him, but it's the reason why it costs so much for a good device.

If this is just a Zoom appliance with picture capability and web browsing - I'd try to find a renewed i7 based surface pro on Amazon.

Otherwise, a Macbook Air is also fine. A lot of people get along just fine with those as primary PCs. They're pricey, but a renewed one can be found for about the same price as an equivalent Surface Pro.

Once you realize that people truly don't care, then you are free to relax. And the ones that are critical? frick 'em. Why are you worried about what other people think?

Just live your life. Look people in the eyes. Speak calmly and honestly.

Those are the base requirements to function. The recommended specs are the ones I listed and provide full functionality and no loss in frame rate.

re: Best computer for your Dad or grandpa

Yeah. Most Chromebooks are not up to spec. Zoom recommends a quad-core (or better) @2.5 GHz and 16 GB of RAM.

re: Best computer for your Dad or grandpa

Posted by Ricardo on 5/6/25 at 3:24 pm

If, Zoom, is important to you, then I would generally advise against a Chromebook. Unless of course you get a top end one. Which at that point, you might as well get a MS Surface Pro or Macbook (M1 or better chip.)

I enjoy watching a craftsman take pride in his work. That's a universal language.

I’m a fan of the surface pro pcs myself. Can always get a bigger monitor for $150-$200.

re: So if I paid a dealership 2k to fix a transmission….

Posted by Ricardo on 5/5/25 at 5:11 am

What was wrong with the transmission? Sometimes it's the TCM (transmission control module.) That's a pretty easy fix, but it still costs $1k.

What exactly did they do to repair your transmission? What were the symptoms? What does the invoice say they did?

It would seem that there should have been some diagnostic done before and after. Get yourself one of those scan tools, so you can see if you're getting trouble codes.

It surely is nice to be generous to your opponents and give them the benefit of a doubt, but just remember that they will never do that for you.

I'm inclined to treat them exactly the way they behave. Never give an inch. Push them to the breaking point and then push further. Propaganda isn't just a tool of the left.

re: Ok I'm a cell phone dummy but need this.

As an update to this thread, I saw that LG is about to pull the plug on their updates. They dropped the cellphone business in 2021, and 4 years later it's finally happening.

So I probably wouldn't buy an LG.

Cultures are not interchangeable. People must adopt the prevailing culture of the land or be removed. Otherwise, you will eventually lose that which made you great in the first place.

There isn't magic soil here. It's the people that made it great. We are their legacy. To throw it away for GDP is a perversion of everything they stood for. No one should tolerate what is being done to the USA by the globalist kleptocrats.

God will judge us harshly if we abandon Him. And rightly so.
