I somewhat managed to set up my own mail server on my PC when I was 14. It was unbelievably shitty, barely functional but I did learn a great deal and only wasted about a week of my life while gaining some trauma. After I realized I can send and receive some e-mails, I immediately reinstalled windows to play counter strike with my friends as I was becoming ostracized for constantly talking about POP3 at school. That was the episode that made me understand that I do not want to do computer science.


It won’t, the problems of the shitty components from HP, Acer, Asus etc. is mainly due to design not production quality. They’re shifting for access to memory not quality is not their strongsuite as even the flagship Chinese producer, CXMT, is delivering less than consistent parts (Safedisk tests showed they have way more stability issues when fiddling with the voltage or the CAS).
