I got a good 10 years out of my previous machine using in place upgrades like this.
Upgrading SSD, RAM and an in-socket upgrade for the CPU will be pretty cheap. If he spends more money and upgrades the GPU as well then he should be good to go.

Clean your soldering iron tip on a sponge before every joint.
I'm keen to make a handwired macro board, but the learning curve of programming of QMK from scratch is not something I'm prepared to deal with right now.
So I guess the poop knife hardly ever gets used in your house then.
Handwired keyboards with a Raspberry Pi or Arduino are achievable: https://github.com/joe-scotto/scottokeebs
I've made 2 keyboards with kits (see my post history) and it was good fun and an easy way to get a QMK compatible custom board. Would recommend.
I mostly cut out the live news cycle from my life. There's really no benefit in keeping up with the immediacy of the live news cycle.
I still have the guardian news app just for the breaking news alerts in case of something major. The only reason I use this is that they tend to send the least number of bullshit notifications (e.g. no shit about British royal family drama).
I'm finding the news experience is much better when I catch a summary of the news story a few days later when the situation is better understood and developed. I get almost all my news from the TLDR news YouTube channel.
If you are going to use a news site, then I would suggest using it through an RSS reader app. That way the news comes through chronologically. If you do this, you get away from the bullshit prioritisation of stories on news websites.
Certainly not an over reaction. If an app sends me an uninvited notification then it gets uninstalled and black listed immediately. Even with apps I use regularly, the notifications are blocked most of the day. People undervalue their attention, and phone notifications are trying to steal your attention. Block it all. Even messaging and email apps can be blocked. I'm pretty sure I'm going to check my phone in a maximum of the next 60 min and a message can wait till I'm ready to look at my phone at my convenience.
I would like to clarify:
There is no piss inside beans/toast that needs to be extracted.
For everyone in this thread: there is a "parent's guide" section for every movie on IMDB that describes the objectionable scenes in every category. Spoilers are hidden, but if you're going to watch a movie with sensitive people, then it is worth putting up with spoilers to know the extent of the awkwardness that awaits.

I really like Street Fighter and I like making things.....so both interests have combined and my wife thinks I've got a problrm: https://i.imgur.com/OvFO47j.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/cSUfHDl.jpeg
Just don't ask me my ladder rank.
So I took inspiration from Daigo. I figure more buttons = more ladder points

I previously posted my custom layout keyboard which I use at home. I got fed up of the different layout at work so I made the same thing to have consistency. Really happy with the result. I'm trying to set up macros now to make annoying tasks at work faster.

Been thinking of doing this for over a year and finally got round to it. Found parts. Spent hours soldering, lubricating, stuffing with foam and programming QMK. So happy with the final result. It's a joy to use.
Gateron yellow switches. YMDK PCB, backplate and case. Ali Express keycaps.
It's a budget build and none of this is high end......but it has still worked out really well.

I've really liked hitbox controllers for Street Fighter 6. I've been really happy with how they've turned out and they're a joy to use. If there's interest I can post the build process/instructions/guide.
Also would be good to grow the community if you're interested: !arcadesticks@lemmy.world
