I scored an Optiplex 7050 SFF with 250GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an i5-6500 for under $100 on an ebay auction last year. I threw in another 16 GB of RAM, an i7-7700, 300W PSU from an Optiplex XE3 (factory for a 7050 SFF is 180W…), factory SD card reader + faceplate, and an Nvidia Quadro K1200 (why? I don’t remember, but it’s better than the iGPU).

I had the same IP address for almost four years through Spectrum in Upstate NY, on a residential plan. It changed once. I ended up moving anyway though, so I didn’t get to see how long that one stuck around.

It’s not a secret that Snapchat’s CEO was a massive Apple fanboy and regularly dunked on Android. It shows in how each platform’s app utilizes their respective resources (i.e. the Android version taking a fucking screenshot despite the camera2 API being readily available).

They can restore the bot accounts, sure, but they can’t restore the servers that run those bot accounts.
