#718567 — TV rich/stupid.

I stopped using Google Chrome because, 
after a while, AutoPlay would resume, despite my efforts to stop it;
obviously, AutoPlay makes Google richer -- TV rich/stupid. 

I run FireFox 56 because 57 doesn't allow my ( ad killing ) extensions;
another money grab, I assume.

For many frustrating months now,
I've been bashing my head against the wall,
trying to stop FireFox's "HeartBeat" from NAGGING me to update.

The solution:

  Using "about:config" set "extensions.shield-recipe-client.enabled"
  to "false", set "extensions.shield-recipe-client.api_url" to "",
  and "extensions.shield-recipe-client.run_interval_seconds" to "-1".

Before, "run_interval_seconds" was set to _ nag me every 24 hours.

I found the solution, I killed the nag.

I have a 3,000$ PC, if you count my 1,000$ ArmMounted monitor.
16 gigs of ram is a must; for file caching, if nothing else.
I can't imagine anything less than a terabyte SSD.

Mac     users vote with their wallet and their STAGE time.
Windows users vote with their wallet and their WORK time.
Distro  users vote with their PLAY time.

Why would someone give you such a powerful PC 
when you don't even know what your monitor is ?

Sounds like a waste of money.

money's not an issue in my life or the life of the gift giver ,
i didn't keep the records for the monitor it's been around for a while ,
but the monitor doesn't matter much i can see what everything says ,
i'm not so concerned with what other people know about their equipment
i'm not that jealous text on a screen looks like text on a screen 
monitor not withstanding

it's a gaming machine, that all.

one can use a simple $35 Rasberry Pi 3 B+  4core and do almost
everything else. NSS. (includes wifi 2.5 and 5GHz)

about $50 for keyboard, monitor, sd card, total is $100.



Savings;

  $3,000 - $100 = $2,900

I've decided to put-off a new PC *again* on my basement PC (which is
the one that I use most often, at home).  The old 3.0GHz Wolfdale C2D
is going to have to last, until the 10mm Intel CPU's arrive, dammit!

It's really not that I'm so cheap, it's that I don't want the dumb
chips they are selling now.  14mm has hung-on too long, and I think
that the security fixes are half-assed.  I don't like AMD and their
high core-count approach, either.  I've always been an Intel guy.

I think the old PC will make it another year.  The power supply was
replaced once, and the HD has been replaced with an SSD, and those are
the most likely things to fail.  And, really, the performance of this
~10 year-old machine is still plenty good, for general computing and
farting-around on the Internet.

I bought AMD Ry 2700x and didn't regret. Better performance then i7 4790
and double core count. I speed up my system by 130% on average.

For that yes. But I like to do computing intensive tasks.
