Or when they commit a crime while black.
Buying just slightly below highest end (so 5700X3D/3080) is the best bang-for-the-buck of all, IMO.
I just upgraded my seven-year-old 1700X/Vega 56 system to 5700X3D/9070 XT, and I expect it to be good for probably another seven years at least, give or take failure of the original motherboard I’m still using.
The sad thing is, Elizabeth Warren is one of the least-bad ones.
For those unaware (not the parent commenter), that’s literally the plan. It’s the post-Soviet model of blatant corruption, creating oligarchs by selling off government assets at fire-sale prices to their cronies.
Every difference between digital and vinyl is caused by vinyl failing to faithfully reproduce the original signal. It may be “pleasing” signal degradation, but it is degradation nonetheless.
As for the analogy about different headphones, I don’t think differences in quality of the amplification/playback hardware are necessarily tied to the recoding medium playback mechanism itself. In other words, you could just as easily hook some vacuum tube amp up to your CD or FLAC player if that “warm” sound was what you were going for.
there is a difference in sound.
Yeah, there is: vinyl is objectively worse.

Up to 8 points, depending on whether playing with tech that was already old at the time counts. For example, I’ve never used a typewriter to produce a document, but I’ve pressed the keys on one to understand how the mechanism works.
The one with a sliding metal thingy had a floppy magnetic material inside it just like the bendy one.
Well, yeah. Any uterus on the battlefield is one that isn’t back home gestating the next generation of cannon fodder.
(It’s despicable, but I’m pretty sure that’s how these shit stains actually think.)
I was literally just researching how to do that yesterday (told you I was serious). It turns out that those threaded holes in sheet metal with the little dimples so there’s more thread than the sheet metal thickness are made with “roll taps” or “forming taps,” not “cutting taps” (which is what your tap and die set probably is). Instead of creating chips, they push the metal out of the way to form the threads.
By the way, similarly thickened but unthreaded holes are made with something called a “friction drill.” It doesn’t have any flutes, so it just heats up the metal until it gets soft and gets pushed out of the way. Kinda neat.
Anyway, I just ordered a 6-32 forming tap off AliExpress; I’m gonna see if I can add some more motherboard standoff holes to one of my computer cases because it’s big enough for an EATX board but isn’t drilled for it.
He’s talking about it now to maximize time spent normalizing the idea in the minds of the public.
It’ll go directly from “nah, it’s just an idle hypothetical” directly to “so what? We always knew this was the plan and haven’t done anything about it, so it must be okay” without stopping in the middle for “holy shit, this is unconstitutional bullshit!”
I need you to understand that manually exporting and importing subscriptions isn’t even slightly like automatically synchronizing watch history (including non-subscribed channels).
I like interacting with actual YouTube because it keeps track of my subscriptions and watch history across my devices. (It’s not that I want Google to know my habits; it’s that I don’t want videos I already watched coming up in my feed.)
If one of these YouTube alternative front ends would solve for that use-case without too much faff and hassle, I’d happily switch.
It really grinds my gears how many things could be almost trivially designed to be rackmountable, but aren’t for no good reason. I guess in some cases it’s for market segmentation so they can charge more for “enterprise” gear, but in a lot of cases they don’t make any of that stuff to begin with so it clearly isn’t.
I’m actually so fed up with it that I’m seriously considering learning how to do sheet metal fabrication so I can make my own damn rackmount cases for stuff (with blackjack and hookers).
Also, what I really want is a version of this thing that’s rackmountable but has no wifi, and then another in the form factor of a ceiling-mounted PoE access point.
(And yes, this is just for my house, not “enterprise.” It’s not even a very big/fancy house; I just like my tech to be cleanly installed.)
I mean, technically there’s no reason a router can’t route between more than two networks. For example, I’ve got both fiber and cable Internet (for no real good reason – I ought to cancel one and save some money) and I’ve configured my OpenWRT router to have two different uplinks, reconfiguring one of the four LAN ports to WAN2 instead.
I’ve also got the other ports configured for separate VLANs (walling my untrustworthy Chinese ONVIF cameras off from being able to phone home, for example), but I think that’s technically not “routing” 'cause it’s OSI layer 2.
I assume it’s not common to have more that two networks being routed, especially in a SOHO environment, but it’s definitely not impossible.
No, I’m in love with having my property rights respected instead of letting corporations sabotage my computer against me.
The real question is, why do non-Linux-users all insist on being simps and cucks and then have the gall to act like I’m the weird one?
America has always been two-party (that’s the inevitable game-theory result of how our elections are designed), but it hasn’t always been the same two parties. When the Whigs were a thing, the Republican Party didn’t exist yet.
They also realigned three or four times without changing names.

Realistically, I want a Seawind 1160. Unfortunately, I’ve been keeping an eye on prices for used ones since before the pandemic, and they never seem to get any cheaper. 🙁
That would be punishing yourself compared to switching to Jellyfin, though.
