The conversation at hand is how people are deciding the factor of age by height.
I'm sure that happens a lot, and the 32 daddy play groups they're in have nothing to do with it.

The number of people willing to pay for it will be inversely proportional to the amount of time LL spends implementing it.

At All Hallows finally getting my X-Box controller's flycam settings working. Gonna try some filming tonight. I'm excited. This is my excited face.

The comment about Apple support of NVIDIA cards not being supported on macOS is incorrect. Apple Technical notes list several NVIDIA cards compatible with older machines at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208898. These are for macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and so are also Metal compatible.
"Several" = two seven year old cards. Until Apple and Nvidia kiss and make up, just get an AMD card.

Not enough to count the triangles in my hair. Sometimes when I get the message that my avatar's complexity is 39,770 and some people may not be able to view me properly, I laugh a little.

GoodWill stores were mentioned specifically. Not just thrift stores.
Alaska, Wyoming, West Virginia, North Dakota, South Dakota, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas Massachusetts, Montana and Mississippi do not have GoodWill stores.
Not all thrift stores deal in computers either. And pawn shops aren't really going to be cheap.
Those are states that don't have Goodwill outlets. I'm sure they all have Goodwill retail stores (does it seem plausible that there are no Goodwills in Massachusetts or Mississippi?). Yeah, a lot of thrifts don't like computers for some reason, but they tend to be overflowing with monitors and peripherals.

Read that last sentence again.
What state doesn't have thrift stores?

Are you absolutely certain the OP lives in the US? Not every country has Good Will stores or Habitat stores. Just as not every state has them.
The ads for computers he's asking about are all located in the US.

People like to proclaim that the performance of SL requires a powerhouse computer and that's not the whole story.
It cracks me up how it is always proclaimed that you must have a Bugatti-powered gamer computer to run SL with any kind of performance. This simply is not true. Your graphic settings and window-size directly control the performance you get. The computer shown by the OP can run SL swimmingly, at minimum graphic settings.
Sure, so will a lot of computers that don’t cost almost $400 and cook their own GPU. If I spend that kind of money on a computer, it had better be able to run basic shaders.

Should I just buy a regular hp computer along with my USB flash drive and call it a day? Or do I need to have those graphics?
It would probably be good to see how SL runs on some different computers to get an idea about what people are going on about with CPUs and graphics cards.
I have a bunch of computers around here, and one of them is a "regular" HP (just a plain jane 17" Pavillion) with an AMD A8 like one of those you asked about in the other thread. A8-4500 (1.9GHz quad core), 8GB RAM and a 240GB SSD. It's not a bad computer, but it's not a "gaming" computer by any stretch of the imagination. You can dial in the graphics settings so that SL is usable, but it's very slow (I was getting around 9fps in a moderately busy region with plain, undemanding builds). Can you run SL on it? Yes. Would I use one for my daily driver? No way. If you're going to use SL a lot, you want the fastest CPU and best GPU you can afford.

No, it's not. It has an AMD GPU, which is good, but they're all defective, which is not so good. It's obsolete and can't run new versions of the mac OS. It's an expensive, obsolete computer with a graphics card that will eventually self destruct.

Just because someone uses the word “gaming” to describe the computer doesn’t mean they’re being honest about it. An AMD A8 is a good clue it isn’t really a gaming computer. Well, Minesweeper is a game, right? If you’re looking for an HP gaming computer, their gaming lineup has “Omen” in the name. They market some Pavillions as gaming computers, but a gaming laptop probably looks like a gaming laptop, not like it belongs at the cheap end of the computer display at Best Buy.

True. So would this laptop work best? It’s an ho and it has that sticker on it and that intel sticker
I think it’s safe to say no, it would not work best. Without knowing what’s in it, it’s impossible to say if it would be acceptable or not. Intel graphics runs a whole range, from not being able to run SL at all to not great, not terrible.
What I would look for is the fastest Intel Core i5 or i7 I could afford, with the best Nvidia graphics, About 8GB of memory and an SSD. Preferably in a Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude or some kind of Alienware gaming computer.

Getting smooth flycam recordings with an X-Box controller is really hard.

I can't wait for Linden Lab to turn my Mac's R9 M395 into a GTX 1080ti.

Always some one dooming and glooming, been that way even since I joined in 2007. The sky it falls when LL has to make a change.
I want to see the work behind the 60% figure.

I think I'll be okay. As long as they don't start talking about eating bugs.
