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

I hate cyclists, and I'm dutch. Cycle to work or the store? Fine by me, I do it all the time myself. Being a cyclist however? I'll hate your guts.

Tho I'm pretty sure it's not that uncommon of an opinion here, most of the time people either hate cyclists, or are one themselves.
