my 20 year old DAC
The $9 Apple DAC is unironically good. I can confirm it is plug-and-play with Mint.
- Comment on Windows 10 support has ended, but here's how to get an extra year for free 1 day ago:
For a desktop OS, I have been recommending Mint to new Linux users. The UI feels familiar to a Windows user, and the initial setup is designed to be user friendly.
However, don’t fret too much over it. Distros are mostly just a pre-configuration of the OS, all of them can do everything.

The issue isn’t it not working, the issue is security updates no longer being made. Feel free to keep using 10, just don’t put it on the network.
- Comment on Windows 10 support has ended, but here's how to get an extra year for free 1 day ago:
You can, but you won’t be getting security updates. Best to not put an OS without security updates on the network.
- Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds 1 day ago:
Being able to quickly get out of a burning car is important. If you only ever use the electronic door handle and your electrical system is damaged by…the fire, then you are much more likely to burn. The same problem exists on the outside of the car as rescuers have a harder time getting in to save people.
Getting stuck outside of the car in the winter is also pretty common when there is not a good place to grab when the door is covered in ice.
- Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds 1 day ago:
I have had to put quite a bit of force into a car door to get it to open on many an occasion. (Ice is a bitch) A normal door handle just works, stop trying to fix it!
- Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds 1 day ago:
Seriously. Every other car maker has figured out how to make normal door handles. You can even buy the parts directly from them if you find it too hard to design yourself.
- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 3 days ago:
The best situation for consumers is for games to come out on as many platforms as possible. Exclusives are cancer.

It’s a pretty solid response to people fishing for compliments.
- Comment on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend 3 days ago:
The power train (and other vital components) of a car should be air-gapped from the internet. It’s crazy car manufacturers are even able to brick a car like this.
Is your car going to get security updates 20 years from now? No. The power train should be air-gapped from the internet.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 5 days ago:
I’m talking about your average Joe in the middle that doesn’t really follow politics but was mad at things getting more expensive over Biden’s term.
Ah, yes, there are also the terminally dumb and uneducated.
This is the response to people being unhappy prices sharply increased under Biden?
A statement that will always remain relevant: “It’s the economy, stupid.”

The constant purity tests is a major part of what got us Trump. It’s enlightening to see a huge portion of the community is keeping up the purity tests.

Have you…never had a job?
Yep. And if customers are getting pissed due to charitable work we are doing…that becomes a significant cost and becomes a massive hurdle for any future charitable work.
So, as I said, lesson learned: don’t support open source projects.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 6 days ago:
Framework appears to intend to support bad people.
Framework intends to support open source projects. That has been their goal. Ascribing a different intent to it is just factually incorrect at best.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 6 days ago:
Lesson learned: don’t support open source projects. One apparently has to get legal and pr involved. Better and cheaper to just not.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 6 days ago:
At some point you’re going to end up with hardware that needs a different motherboard and then you might as well just replace the whole thing. There really isn’t anything that can be done about that.
You can just buy a newer, better mainboard on their website. No need to change out the whole computer. I fucking love them for that.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 6 days ago:
framework sells a lot of computers to real fascist psychos
A computer company doesn’t do political evaluation of their customers. When was the last time you had to submit your political beliefs in order to buy a computer from…anywhere?
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 6 days ago:
I think the rest of your response feels wrong in a fundamental way but I haven’t thought through why yet.
Either that or a pair of opinions you hold conflict with each-other.
Internal consistency is highly valued. As long as all opinions are treated with the same standards, then you have a nice steady base for your own views and how you interact with the world.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 6 days ago:
don’t the tankies not believe in those allegations? Isn’t that their whole thing, that western media is lying about it? Ie delusional like I said.
Of course they don’t believe the allegations. The point is they support the genocide either way. If we are changing the standard to purely what delusional people, not what they actually support, then there is a ton of people on the right people should stop bitching about, as they don’t believe their policies are harmful either…
So, back to the original question, are you going to use a software written, or partly written, by tankies?
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 6 days ago:
the destruction of the Ukrainians as a people and culture
This is a huge part of Putin’s current war; a war tankies widely support. You need sources for these things?
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 6 days ago:
Tankies wildly support the destruction of the Ukrainians as a people and culture. One of the definitions of genocide. Are you going to stop using every software written by a tankie?

If you force every person to pick a team, you may not like the result. gestures at current president
People who are happy to not take a political stance on everything, particularly in their professional life, is good.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
I’m more upset that Framework decided to support a couple of really shitty projects
The thread being centered around this would be 100% more productive than what it has devolved into. Instead people are swearing off the most notable computer company that is fervently pushing for Right to Repair and supporting open source projects.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
They are supporting open source development. Unfortunately, not all open source developers share one’s opinions.
I’ll take it over alternatives any day.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
People here are overreacting to the fact that not every open source developer shares their opinions. Framework is supporting open source development, and for that I’m damn happy.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
Yeah, one cannot support open source development and assume everyone has the same political opinions as you.
Framework supports open source development, and for that I’m damn happy.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
Framework is supporting open source development. That has somehow been twisted into the thread title.

Paying extra just to have access to multiplayer is one of the core reasons I sold my 360 and haven’t bought a console since. PS2 and latest PC are both golden!
- Comment on why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime? 2 weeks ago:
The BIOS on that is clearly a bit odd, I haven’t seen that as a requirement before. That said, the BIOS battery is probably dead. Replace that and it should fix the issue.
