You'd use a dedicated audio setup with it, yeah. I don't know if the 59k is the headphones only or if it includes an amplifier, but a hi range amplifier can cost thousands too.

I'm not an audiophile tho, ain't got the money, and even if I did my setup would at most cost €1000. So if anyone wants to post some real numbers go ahead.

The peace of mind knowing that your significant other didn't just die in a car crash part way to their destination and are still making progress is significant.

Bless you but the moment I start being afraid of my partner dying everytime they leave the house will be the moment I'm getting back in touch with my psychologist.

runs great on older less powerful hardware

better hardware support, not having to hunt down drivers

I remember installing Linux on my old laptop. It took me half a day to find working drivers for my WiFi card. It's probably better now but whenever I read stuff like this I call bullshit.

Same. The moment Apollo shut down I quit reddit and started using lemmy on the voyager (pretty much an Apollo clone for lemmy)

every repair can be made by a layman with good documentation available, spare parts are quickly available and cheap.

That's part of the problem isn't it tho? When products aren't designed to be serviceable, let alone to be serviceable by someone not specialized, and spare parts aren't easily available (not even at 3rd parties), your only option quickly becomes to just buy a new one.

A few years back I replaced the screen on my Xiaomi Mi5. Parts were okayish to order, and while I did succeed, I wouldn't have called it doable by someone who's not afraid to turn their phone into a glorified paperweight. And that's only gotten worse since then.

Names appearing on the unsealed list are not an Epstein "client list" or a list of those who were on his flights. Many of those whose names appear in the documents aren't accused of wrongdoing.

The way I read it this list means pretty much jack all. It's just names mentioned in a court case - not a client nor fly list.

I won't be surprised if there would be significant overlap, but without the actual list there's little to say.

The creator, assuming he didn’t do anything wrong, complied with demands, providing full transcripts of his conversations and chats with gaming handheld manufacturers. The officers also took his phone, promising to return it in a few days. It was returned two months later, on June 15.

Oof. A reminder to not talk to cops, kids.

Okay the city I live in has pretty much the same graph, and speaking from experience it's not as bad as you'd think at first glance. It's still dark at night, just for fewer hours.

pace yourself - 5 beers/hour

Man's going into the date at marathon pace

They targeted memers.

Memers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital upvote saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the circulation of a fresh image macro all to draw out a single extra point of karma per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same captions over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such memer nirvana that they can literally post these memes blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many screens have been smashed, systems over heated, memefolios destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our meme designers? Memers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the memes our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds on 9gag. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex. Memers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another imgur struggle.
