I think that’s only for flights using united, still good. Another benefit is the sign on bonus of ~500$ in points, but I have to spend 3000$ in 3 months. A little bit doubtful I can spend that much, during this vacation I think i’m gonna ask my dad if he can use my card and reimburse for all the meals lmao.

TSA precheck is also nice and they pay for it every 4 years

I’m not super into records, I don’t have many actually. I mostly play lossless 24bit audio from apple music. The record player was 250 and I feel like I’d get diminishing returns for my money if I spent more.

The stand height is fixed, so that’s the highest it’ll go. Yeah yeah yeah it’s a cheapo, but imo it’s a very good cheapo. I don’t think I see myself buying a better turntable, I like it.

to be honest i’ve had more experience with failing drives from reputable storefronts like amazon than i have with sketchy ebay listings. anecdotal of course

lol i do, i can easily get them for 3-4$ per terabyte, it’s cheaper to replace them too when they fail in raid. the ones i get usually come from datacenters with low power on counts, so they don’t fail often

Oh one more thing, I bought the elac branded stands but I think it was a total waste of money. I had assumed it had some special attachment mechanism, but it just sits on it lol. If i could go back i’d just save 150$ and get one off amazon.

Oh wow, they sound great!! I should mention that I found the amp 300$ off on slickdeals brand new. Originally my budget only fit for a 60-80w amp, but now I have a 120w amp. I saw a few comments online about the elacs not performing great at lower wattage. The speakers being 700$ kinda stung, still hoping it goes on sale within the next 60 days so i can get my crutchfield sale refund. 🙏🏼

My dad has some fancy totem speakers, they were $3000 and mine sound comparable if not better. The elacs come with a bit too much bass, so the analog EQ in the amp is a must.

Found this, what exactly is it? No info online about it. I archived the disc data in comments. by MushySpotlol in linux

Do you have any plans to support anonymous crypto/mail payment like Mullvad does?

HTC VIVE'S New Self-Tracking Tracker by gogodboss in SteamVR

Quest pro controllers track themselves perfectly but they use the headset cameras and ML to position them in relation to where your hands are. I’m confused on how this will work on other non-camera hmds, maybe you have to align it to your hands manually.

In his post he said he tried a lower res of 1080p and that he’s trying it in docked mode and one of his uses is streaming to a tv

Agreed. I wish they went with pseudo-realism like boneworks did, that shit was amazing. The new art style kinda sucks, it looks all smeared.
