  • The main use of a keyboard is to make thocky sounds

  • Good choice on the Gateron Yellows! They're really lovely switches, especially for the price.

  • I don't know about BSD specifically but the current release is still Unix 03 compliant and it's still built on top of Darwin

  • The MGS1-3 remasters are god awful (and somehow worse than the HD Collection a decade or so ago?)

    Konami has been clear from the beginning that the Master Collection is mostly just the HD Collection but on modern systems. It was always referred to by them as a rerelease and not a remaster. I think the announcement of Metal Gear Delta: Snake Eater got people confused about the scope of the Master Collection.

    Edit: From the initial press release when Konami announced the Master Collection: "The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection allow fans to play the games as they were, as first released on the latest platforms."

  • Target disk mode is fantastic, I'm thrilled to see this coming to Linux

  • There's only so many people who can afford to spend $60,000+ on a car

  • I've got MacOS 13 running on a 2010 MacBook Pro with OpenCore Legacy Patcher. It's not the fastest laptop but it runs way better than you'd expect a first gen mobile i7 to handle a modern OS

  • Yeah, it was Lion and even before then it was something like $35 to upgrade which was less than the cost to upgrade Windows at the time.

  • Link realized some things in Gerudo Town

  • HTC Evo 4G, and I was living in an area with WiMax at the time too. It felt so futuristic coming from a Blackberry.

  • Just look how many people are buying new iPhones. Don’t say times are tough if you are shopping for the latest luxury item.

    Trade-ins are probably a big part of people buying new iPhones. My carrier gave me $800 for my 3 year old iPhone which covered the vast majority of the cost of a new one.

  • How much time do you have?

  • It sounds like MusicBrainz Picard would fit your needs well. It can do acoustic fingerprinting to find tags for poorly tagged files, it works on all major OSes, and it can organize your music folder pretty much however you want it to. The one thing I think it's not great at is album art but there are plenty of tools to handle that

  • Not to mention the fact that almost all music is recorded in .wav files nowadays, and the “lossless” versions are usually just synthetically upscaled for the audiophile crowd

    WAV and FLAC are both lossless, the reason people use FLAC is because WAV doesn't (or didn't) have good support for tags and FLAC has lossless file compression while WAV usually is uncompressed. There isn't any sort of "upscaling" that is done.

    Personally, I think a quality v0 or 320kb/s MP3 is perfectly fine for listening but I'm always going to prefer storing lossless audio so I can convert the files to whatever format I want/need. I've moved around between MP3, AAC, and Opus for different devices and if I didn't have the FLAC files I would either have to redownload files or do lossy to lossy transcodes

  • I would also like to apologize for Billy Corgan and company
