Which 4th May is this from? Because if it’s from 2007 then that’s a perfectly reasonable mid-range machine, but if it’s from last month then I really hope he’s only using it as a personal Linux box for tinkering.

That’s actually kind of sad.
I remember doing a ton of stuff on my core 2 Duo iMac with 2gb ram.
Sure, you won’t be playing cyberpunk, but it ran all the creative suite apps, a few games, and I did a ton of image editing, made movies, and did programming on it.

My 2007 MacBook (white plastic) had a Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM. For my first MacBook it was a perfectly usable laptop, but boy did it drop off a cliff fast. Tried putting Linux on it a while back, but it didn’t want to know.
Meanwhile, the 2011 MacBook I replaced it with (Core i7, 16GB RAM) is running Mint like a dream.

A gentleman using a Core 2 Duo rig from a more civilised age.

Old enough to be someone’s father or grandfather

ATI graphics sucked ass on Linux. Back then nVidia was recommended due to their superior drivers.

Well, the x1950 Pro is from Oct 2006 but Grindr didn’t launch until March 2009. And I don’t know if it launched with the iconic colours but I don’t remember any other colours and I do remember using Grindr in 2010. Not sure about 2009.

Good thing that was the giveaway, and not the “nice dick” edit, because I’d like to point out that it’s perfectly normal to compliment an acquaintance’s dick or give it a suck.

If you don’t give the dick a little suck, how can you really know how nice it is?
