I don’t agree with #8. You can be all about the music. It can be about the music and the sound and not about the gear itself at all. ie. About the sound itself not the gear that makes the sound. I would much prefer listening to an ipod if I could get this same sound, it puts the focus back on the music for me. But I love the sound the gear creates.

I like #9. Reminds me of the dear old days of Usenet :)

At home he feels like a tourist.

@Biodegraded knock knock

Nooo - out for more beer...

But are they gonna bring the brute force required to play dirty against the panthers?

McJesus does seem motivated and the rest of the Oilers appear to be playing with a chip on their shoulder. Should be interesting...

Linux for the win!!!!

Absolutely, Linux for the win. But there is a forum-relevant proviso. When buying ADC/DAC, check Linux compatibility. Still stuff out there that requires manufacturers' own drivers, and they probably won't come in Linux flavour :/

@Thad E Ginathom totally. I put atomic fedora kde on my kid's laptop and it's a breeze. She finds it easy to work with, I find it easy to maintain, and it is a zillion times better than any jerk windows laptop or chromebook install. I run rocky linux on a few machines for production stuff. It's a bit more of a wrestle, but the github copilot or claude ai makes it easy to configure.

There is too much uncertainty for me to consider US products atm, even if all the tariff bs is over in a few months it will take considerably longer for the reputation to get back to where things were.

Sucks that can m citizens and companies are being held responsible and paying for the decisions of the government.

I read that Sony cameras, lenses, etc, are increasing in USA price by up to 30% from today.

I proudly sit in Switch 2 chats during streams and spam "lower the price"

@GoldfishX, dude I'm just glad it costs less than a PS5 and half what I paid for my RX 9070 XT. As for Byggy. Aint no way.

I thought that was the hobby?

The sound spice must flow

Wear open-backs like Grados when out and about, gotcha.

can't remember if this was in the lol thread: https://i.imgur.com/zG4mCgV.png

Wear open backs, and carry the appropriate big game rifle ;)

I've gotten Google malicious website warnings from Allmusic a number of times in the past. Don't know how legit they are, but I just don't go there anymore.

Seems to be something on Easylist it's objecting to currently.

doesn't everyone just abbreviate it "M$" ?

When I retired from the city we had an email signature generator on the intranet that we entered all our personal and contact info and it created a sig with the logo link to the city website, disclaimer, and whatever else they wanted everyone's sig to look like, in both mobile and desktop versions. They changed it up now and then for special events and the like.

I was implementing the email system. Management said they wanted some of this crap on every outgoing mail. I said, it is of no legal value whatsoever. They said I was probably right but... put it anyway.

Table guts are made by these guys: https://miniot.com/collections/wheel-2 , so cart is a modified AT95. Not sure about this one, but the Miniot versions have adjustable tracking force (manual under 'support' at the link).

Nice :)

Never! I especially can't judge anyone pre-coffee infusion.

After de-soldering a busted power jack, on trying to clear the PCB slots I destroyed the sleeve contact's pad - but stupidly didn't check continuity before soldering the new jack in. So rather than risk a repeat, I made like the Buffalo Girls.

But you can still hear my farts.

Yep, I'm fine at cannon-fire frequencies :)
