No, having seen Bay's complete works, this is violently exploding *shit in slow motion.

- Comment on installing awnings? 3 months ago:
Yes, here in South Limburg in the Netherlands a lot of homes have these installed and I guess keeping the sun out is the best option, whether it be awning or roller shutter.
We have solar reflecting blinds, and keeping windows and filters shut helps quite a bit. Solar reflecting blinds are still heating up the window panes though. Temperatures inside still up to 30°C (86°F) in heat waves as we also have a flat roof that we insulated last year, heat build up day by day. We went checking on awnings, but good ones are quite expensive, we went earlier this year for a split unit AC.
We also use a sun umbrella on the balcony door which has the largest window pain, it definitely helps, maybe a cheap/quick solution instead of awnings.

- Comment on Q: Do I need Geforce Experience to make use of "Game Ready Drivers" (Nvidia)? 4 months ago:
True the settings in the app look a lot cleaner then in the standard control panel.
Like experience, the new app phones home a lot too. I blocked most of it with a pihole though but I probably going to uninstall again, just tried it this morning. Normally I extract the display drivers from the Nvidia installer by opening the exe file with 7zip. It is just an archive, no need for NVCleanstall.

Word!
I had the Techno Sound Turbo.
Friend said his IBM pc could do music...bleep bleep from the motherboard speakers, lmao. Everything changed with the 16bit Soundblasters though. My first was an AWE32, it was like a betrayal to Paula.
It was Atari ST or Amiga for music back then. The Atari didn't have the sampling capabilities of the A500 until the Atari Falcon, but Atari had Cubase, and if you had a shitload of money for outboard gear, Atari was the way to go because it was compatible with most studio's at the time just as Protools today.
Before I had an Amiga 500 my fosterdad had a C64 with Steinberg Pro 16 and a MIDEX interface, a Fostex 8-track tape machine and outboard gear back in the 80s where I learned how to produce music. He had a DX-7, drumtraks and six-trak from sequential along effect pedals and what not.
Still making music on the Amiga seemed less complicated, more spontanious, my own thing so to say and a fraction of the money.
I wish I have the energy and enthusiasm for equipment and music I had back then...I have the Akai S-1100 samplers I could not afford and stuff now, they are all in storage, minimal setup now.
Yeah I am rambling on, please forgive me.

I loved my Amiga 500, I liked the gaming part, but mostly made music on it all day every day.
Fantastic machine that had a 4 channel audio Paula chip and with the right software called OctaMED, turned into an 8 channel music studio. I could sample, mix, hook up external MIDI hardware. It was the heart of my mini home studio back in the day.
