      Oh shit, Sam Bankman Fraud got 25 years. Pretty standard for Club Fed to reduce time for good behavior. Knock 7 years off of that. Still a long time.

      @CEE TEE This was actually my first thought, that the Porta Pro would smooth it all over, since it does fairly well on sources like this. But I mainly use KSC75 now.

      Definitely an interesting choice. Not what I would expect either, but they are still a great band. Slipknot and SOAD though...just wow. That is going to be a pretty great festival.

      The young (in my kids’ bubble at least) know they have to fact check everything that is important to them. The old (including many of my age) just add to propaganda by reposting everything that seems outrageous to them.

      I think what is most interesting about this DAC is it is not trying to do the "sound like analog" thing. It is its own thing, which is just being a spectacular-sounding source. No digititus, no faux analog...just wonderfully articulated music

      Actually, that’s what I liked most about Qobuz when I switched from Spotify: No personalised playlists (at the time, but it’s still not much). Everybody sees the same front page. Browsing like at a record store, because no algorithm chooses what to hear for you.
      I had already gone to a bit more album listening before, but only with Qobuz it reached high levels again.

    Paypal payment holds are such bs. They don't cover the buyer they just save PayPal money. But I've been with Paypal for 25 yrs WTF.

      ^ hence why I think this is yet another way for IRS / gov to try to control us.

      OTOH we also cannot underestimate some of the stupid things that companies will do to "make money" ... even if they do not actually make money from it.

      @penguins well PayPal makes money off this because they don’t pay sellers until the item is confirmed to have arrived. So if there is a problem they just don’t give the seller the money. Rather than paying the seller upfront in a possible scam where the seller makes out with it and PayPal has to pay themselves to make it right with the buyer.
