Discord has evolved from more or less being a series of chatrooms (like IRC) to having “threads” that work a lot like how a forum would typically be used.
In the repair community, a lot of conversation about component level repair has moved to Discord channels. Sites like badcaps.net or the Rossmann group forums have comparatively low usage. Nested away in Discord, this information doesn’t show up in search engine results and can’t be archived by web crawlers. When a Discord server is deleted or made private, that information is forever lost.
Got one for my partner during the last refurb restock. It was perfect for Stardew and other small indies, which is all they cared to play.
Not long after, I upgraded my deck to 2TB, they inherited the 512GB SSD, everybody won.
Right now, you can get a 64GB deck and 1TB M.2 2230 SSD for $15 more than the 512GB LCD is on sale for.
