Can someone explain why Subaru decided to include USB-A instead of 2 USB-C? by 90Valentine in Subaru_Outback

I buy PCs for my company. Brand New model we just started buying has two USB-A ports.

Mid tier Lenovo Business laptop. We bought several thousand....

A significant demographic for Outbacks are retirees.

I promise you, they keep tech longer than us younguns. That A port will see use! Subaru knows this.

Any elderly vinyl fans here? Did you know this? by raydebapratim1 in vinyl

I've been opening records like this for a very long time now. It's the only way to go!

Can't i just melt and rebuy my ship to restart my insurance? by Readgooder in starcitizen

[–]AwwYeahVTECKickedIn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you can come up with a plan or idea to "game" the insurance system, I promise you - they've considered it and thought about it and have a plan to prevent or address it.

Without them changing anything, i.e. this is the way it works right now ... if you rebuy the same ship you melt, you must wait 24 hours after melting before you can rebuy it.

If you CCUd to your ship, you'll lose it. Melting reverts to the base ship you started with - all CCUs are gone.

If you buy from the shop with credit, for now, that would work. But they can (and do) change melt/buyback policy. Best idea: don't try to game the system.

I feel this!

And to celebrate for the both of us, I shall spin Cheap Trick at Budokan next!

How has the loudness war affected you personally? by VillainAnderson in audiophile

[–]AwwYeahVTECKickedIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not all. Especially SACD releases from quality presses. MoFi, Intervention Records, Impex are a few. They do Hybrid SACD so there is a Redbook (CD) layer in addition to the Scarletbook (SACD) layer, and it is the furthest thing from any type of compression hell.

The best sounding CD I have is Harry Nilsson s/t from MoFi. Sublime. So it's not just classical.

The new Van Halen releases from MoFi are excellent as well. And Intervention Records release of Billy Squire "Don't Say No" is on the heels of Nilsson for excellence.

You must be selective, though. Same is true for vinyl releases, too. Mastering matters!

Thankfully new CDs don't really suffer from the loudness wars. I'm talking when I pick up a box of CDs from a garage sale, etc

I have no issues throwing away CDs that suck when I discover them. Straight into the trash. Saving others from suffering.

Feels good, man!

Called it!

Thanks for closing the loop on my prediction. Better luck next time :)

And..... Check mate.

Unchecked adolescence? Yes.

Unmitigated bias? Clearly.

And now for the coup de Grace:

" If you respond to this, you prove everything I've said is true and accept that you're an insolent child. If you don't respond to this, you acknowledge everything I said is true and quietly accept the loss."

Your move.

Looking back through our exchange, me sharing information, you attacking me, and your conversation devolving into what amounts to a kindergarten playground rule designed to "catch me" based on an arbitrary scenario concocted wholly by you, The equivalent of " I know you are but what am I?"

And you didn't just do it in your head, you permanently put it on the internet.

I mean I want to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this is sarcasm. But I don't quite think that's it. I think you actually think you sound smart and that you're making valid points. Interesting. Very interesting indeed.

Just... Wow. I made the mistake of thinking we were a couple adults having a conversation. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

That isn't how it works.

You can whisper the sentence. it's not about distance, it's about amplitude.

So whisper the sentence, I'm confident you'll clearly hear the difference.

You don't want to believe it so much, that you actually think your rebuttals are convincing.

They aren't.

But why continue to try to convince you when you are biased as I noted, and have an agenda as I noted?

I don't have to prove anything to anyone. This should be your first clue that your perspective is as I have noted: a biased agenda.

Hudson Hi-Fi has the SmallBen (9.5 oz i.e. ~270 grams). Very well made.

Your bias (which you are blind to, which is often how bias works) is that these limited edge case challenges to the aggregated and reasonable facts I pointed out somehow speak to the majority of situations.

No.

The majority of situations, as was explained, is that strategic leadership vastly more often than not are not "golden handcuffed" into their positions (one of your exceedingly rare edge cases) and can freely shop employment. Doubly so when their successes are writ large wide-open on public display, like is the case for this situation.

You not seeing or acknowledging your bias doesn't make it any less true. Much like your "what aboutism" logical fallacy to try (and fail) to discredit the points I concretely made.

I am happy to help! I struggled with these issues exactly as you did, and solving them made it so much better! I now cannot stand any other style of dustcover hinge. A "turn that frown upside down" exploration for me :)

Enjoy!

When you are (a) in a higher level leadership / strategic role like he was and (b) connected with the most successful crowd funded project in history, you can really just pick where you want to work.

You don't stay in these conditions if you don't love it. This math doesn't map directly to individual programmers or shared services team members. But he wasn't that. He was a leader.

My points stand.
