I want to see your thrift haul🧐

What are you running on that thing? That's pretty awesome, I just gave a bunch of my old computer stuff to my nephew to mess with and he is having a blast.

Right now it's Windows XP Media Center 2005. It would've had 2004 originally. Sadly there was no recovery partition on it, so none of the special Sony stuff works, but it still works great.

I want to get it a GPU that'll play nicely with Linux and give it a bit more RAM, but those old GPUs are not cheap (ATI cards work best with Linux. NVIDIA usually stinks on Linux, especially ones that old).

I found this at a thrift shop, I didn't get it but it made me laugh

Does anyone else thrift Christmas presents? I feel like it might not be very traditional but it'll become more common because things are tight for a lot of people.

I never really shop for anything.

I do for some people in my life. Unfortunately my sister is super bougie and got mad when i got her kids thrift stuff. I tend to try and make things most of the time, except legos I can't make them.

I don't but I'm really interested! I've always wanted to snoop around in the Sephora or bath and body works dumpsters but I have really bad social anxiety and IDK how I would handle asking to DD or how to deal with confrontation should an employee have issues with me DDing
