  • The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore

  • Don't forget about PCIe expansion. Just yesterday I got a FireWire PCIe card for 20€ to transfer old DV tapes to digital with no quality loss. Plug the card in and you're done. To get the same result on a laptop I'd need a Thunderbolt port and two adapters, one of which isn't manufactured anymore and goes for 150€+ on secondhand stores.

    PS. I would remove "CPU heating" from your system if I were you :)

  • How important is a DE to you?

  • This comment made me go down the kio rabbit hole, how does I not know this exists? I can't wait to try some of these, even if I was using some without realising (like smb://). Browsing a filesystem through SSH or using audiocd:/ to rip a disc in the format I want... sounds almost too good to be true. KDE never stops getting better.

  • Looks great, maybe this will convince me to setup a music server to free up space on my phone :) One question, does it support browsing by album artist instead of just artist? I organise my music with Picard which moves features to the artist tag, which breaks up albums when using just the artist view. Great work either way

  • I wish I had the willpower to stop wasting days in front of my PC and go out more, but it always feels impossible, no close friends, no car, live in a small town with an average age that's probably in the 50s. All I do is go to work and come home to sit in my room. I also hate talking to new people over voice chat (and it takes me some time to warn up to someone when only talking over text) so I don't do much socialising when sitting at home. I've been thinking of moving to a bigger city but that's a whole other can of worms and doesn't fix my ability to hold conversions past pleasantries

  • Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead

    Jump

  • Samsung SSDs seem fine, I actually use one of the cheap SATA ones as a boot drive, but they had a firmware bug a while ago that destroyed 990 and 980 pro NVMe SSDs. And I dislike Samsung in general so I'd rather not buy from them if I can avoid it.

  • Great. What SSDs are worth buying then? Kioxia? Solidigm? Never going to buy WD, Samsung is on my shit list too but if there's no other options left....

    edit: just read that solidigm also exited the consumer business at the start of the 2025, amazing

  • What have you heard people say that screams "I have lived my life in a Westernised bubble and have no idea how the world is" ?

  • Public transport navigation is also very lackluster.

    This reminded me of a few months ago when I went to Milan with a friend. I used Organic Maps for getting around and they used Gmaps. Their phone was always trying to get us to walk as little as possible, using EVERY possible combination of metro, tram and busses for even the shortest trips, it was insane. Change bus here, ride one stop, get on the metro, change to the other line, get back on a bus, take the tram, it never ended. Same trip on organic maps was 3 changes on the metro and a 5 minute walk at the end.

  • The ISP gives their modem/router an internal IP and routes traffic through their datacenter to them and other customers via one shared public address. Also IPv6 is not always an option, I had to activate it on my ISP's website but it was useless in the end because I can't get an IPv6 address on my phone

  • 'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup

  • Just checked out 7 digital, seems to have a decent library but the pricing is weird... I looked at a 3 track release and it costs 8,79€ for the whole thing, or 0,99€ for each track 🤔

  • By keyboard shortcut, make Spectacle save to file and copy to clipboard ?

    Jump

  • Are you closing the spectacle window after taking a screenshot? I found that you need to keep it open for the image to stay in the clipboard. When I have the time I can check how I've set it up if that doesn't work for you. Although I only copy to clipboard, not save as well.

  • Couldn't you just reinstall windows with an older ISO to bypass this? That's what I already do at work anytime I need to setup a new machine, gets rid of the manufacturer supplied programs bloatware. Plus Rufus has an option for triggering the bypass command automatically.

  • Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically

    Jump

  • Yeah, really depends on what kind of music you listen to. I guess I'm lucky in that regard, since most artists I listen to have their music on BC ^^

    Jump

  • If you really need to download the music on your phone you could use the website. I just organise everything on my PC then copy the files over.. But I agree that it would be nice to have DRM free downloads on the app

  • Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically

    Jump

  • I feel I should mention Bandcamp, which gives 70% of a sale directly to the artist. In the music world that's a lot. All DRM free and in most audio formats you could want. My process when buying music is usually: bandcamp > qobuz (or similar) > if all else fails... use other means. I'll also skip step one and two depending on the artist :p

  • Guaguin is a sudoku-like puzzle game that I enjoy a ton. Instead of the usual 9-block square, this has random shapes with a number and a math operator on them. The goal is to have no repeating digits on rows/columns, and each block needs its mathematical problem to be solved. For example a block labeled 20x needs to filled so that all the numbers inside of it multiply to 20.

  • Nope, no way. I've done it once as an experiment and had to jump through all the hoops. And that was when the waiting time was a week instead of a month to unlock your device. You also need a windows PC (with an Intel processor! The unlock tool didn't work on my AMD system) plus a Xiaomi account.
