It's not a bad thing in a vacuum but redditors typically do this to find out that one time 5 years ago you made a random comment in /r/kotakuinaction or something, so they chimp out at you for being a literal nahtzee and sic the mods on you to get you banned.
Thank you, Gargamel. If you hadn't pointed this out, I would have thought everything in that post was true.
The only context I've seen DAOs used in is investment, and they are more of a meme there than something practical. It doesn't make any sense to use a DAO to secure legal representation for yourself as an individual... There are voting procedures and distributed control. That dude is talking out his ass.
His theory is he'd create a nice transparent legal fund for him and his buddies that would be under decentralized control to be doled out to who ever needs it. Except he's the only one accused of being a ChiMo. This has got to be some sort of trick.
Apple machines are unreliable garbage for a variety of reasons. Most relavent to your friend's use case is that the thermal design takes a backseat to "aesthetics" and they'll cook themselves to death doing real work such as video rendering.
You can get a refurbed MacBook Pro 11 refurbished for £310. It will do everything he needs (video editing and basic spreadsheets). I couldn’t think of a GPU for his budget let alone a full desktop.
What exact model is that?
Anything can edit video, 100% depending on expectations. I used to edit shitty 360p YouTube videos on a Pentium III back in the early days.
Used desktop, not new. Wipe and reload Windows and it's good as new. Do not even think about that other operating system.
In theory the Mac platform is perfect. Windows sucks ass and is fraught with problems that don't exist in Apple's ecosystem. But Mac laptop hardware is pretty terrible. Why does it have to be a laptop? How about a Mac mini? They're much more reliable than MacBooks.
So, a video editing business startup run by a NEET autist who is pro Windows (anti Mac?) and doesn't know or care about computers. This sounds like a recipe for success if I ever saw one.
Guy is bipolar so can start up creative businesses from time to time. I’m being vague for powe level reasons. He’s found something he can do even when he hits his low.
It's new enough to be competent at HD video editing. Not a lot of space for video on that proprietary SSD, but at least it's socketed and reasonably performant in this model. He will need external storage no matter what. Most Mac video people I have known have stacks of USB hard drives littering their desk.
Bipolar autism is pretty rough. I wish your friend the best.
Allegedly short term but I can see him it for twenty years as long as it works.
Refurbished Thinkpad X1 Carbon
I hope it's not camwhore.
That thing will be turning a decade old this year. Why not just buy some refurbed Elitedesk off of Woot if the bar is that low?
DAOs are a concept that were invented to be used for scams. They are designed to appeal to people who want to be Sovereign Citizens but like the idea of technology and realize that the 'fringe on the flag' stuff might not have worked all that well.
You will need to register it with every carrier it's repeating. It's annoying but free.
