"Even in computers, things are better with a squad of three! Just look at torrenting."


I wonder how old your computer can be and still be usable in the modern day. Right now, I know that most Pentium 4-era computers and newer are still alive and kicking. For instance, I remember in middle school how all the computers, which had a Core 2 Duo, was SO much more usable than my laptop at the time, which was much newer but ran an ... shivers ... Intel Celeron. I even saw one or two computers with a Pentium 4 HT in them, and I was really jealous of just how usable those computers were. However, there was one video by OzTalksHW here (https://inv.riverside.rocks/watch?v=c_g_QItzVWM), where he tried to browse the internet from a 2001 computer. It was actually kind of shocking, not just because it was fast enough to run Reddit (the bloated garbage fire that it is), but also because Windows XP, which was in this computer, really was from a different era. It was at its prime when tech services like Google and Youtube were still quite small, and that people hadn't seen the horrors that mainstream social media wouldn't have brought onto the world. Even in ~2014 when it was last relevant, it was still quite too early for alternative platforms to even be a thought in peoples' minds. Unless you count Dailymotion or Google+, which are joke services, there wasn't anything, it took until the release of Mastodon for the Fediverse to become viable, and blockchain-based services (cryptocurrency, LBRY) were in their very early stages. So, it's just really weird to see him use this computer for the modern day, when it was designed for a completely different internet. Maybe if he put a lightweight Linux distro on there, maybe it wouldn't feel so different. There are many lightweight distros that look completely contemporary on XFCE, a desktop intended for old machines, such as Manjaro. Anyways, I just thought about it since many people are now realizing how important reusability is for reducing environmental waste, and the fact that old machines are still usable today makes that completely possible.

Also, here are the finalized names for these three cute robo-pals! The blue retro cat is Qompac, a pun based on a legacy computer brand, Kipper, just because it reflects his chihuahua-like aggression, and Solaris, based on an the open-source OS of the same name. Maybe I'll even add more characters, such as Dora, or shorthand for Fedora Linux and embarrassed of his name (for obvious reasons), or Mint, based on Linux Mint and a granny who just gets business done. It's really fun, since it's embracing the playful side of technology.
