Used workstations are great for home theater purposes. I’ve got a Dell SFF on one TV and a Lenovo 1L machine on another.

Fuck that noise too.

That’s okay, it had to be done.

You’re right, but it does still work.

Downloading music from YouTube will get you MP3s, but they will have gone through the YT compression algorithms.

Use Deemix instead. Downloads MP3s straight from the Deezer servers with all metadata and album art.

More like short them. This is going to be devastating for their business. I could see them losing tons of customers.

Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.

I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.

Don’t use YouTube to MP3, use one of the Deemix variants that downloads music straight from Deezer’s servers.

That would stand out a lot. Probably better to just bring a couple hundred dollars and buy bitcoin when it was worth practically nothing.

As for why they’re getting downvoted, criticizing cars or the use of cars tends to get a lot of negative feedback.

Consider an ebike to supplement your car for shorter trips. I’ve just opted to ride my bikes more.

You missed the /s in your comment.

Why are those patch cables so long?!

We use Slack for those of us on the IT team, but Teams for everyone else. I despise Teams.

There are two reasons why I refuse to play MTG now: Wizards of the Coast is shitty and the experience of playing at my local game store.

Apparently it’s just a tool to talk about Linux for me.

I don’t think you’ve actually read any of the comments in this thread. Everything is a legit discussion of EVs and how Musk is handling this. Nobody is bashing China. If anyone is being criticized in this thread, it’s Musk.

If they’re buying the cheapest possible IKEA furniture, sure, it’s less reliable. Buy the mid range solid wood stuff.

Kurt Cobain has probably been gone longer than these people have been alive.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Little things, not so much. But when it comes to hobbies, especially ones that get me moving and exercising, I feel perfectly fine spending money on something that will make me feel better.

For example, lately I’ve been considering getting a road bike again even though I already have a gravel bike (that I plan to keep).
