Certainly. I'm often in the habit of re-reading books, so if there's a book I really like I'll buy it if I run across a copy. I mostly borrow books from libraries and that's a good way to find titles to acquire. I also buy books to recommend and lend to others.
I recently reread The Dark Elf Trilogy after a long, long time and I still quite liked it. It's funny how differently I see the themes of the first book now than I did as a teenager.
I also remember Weis and Hickman's Draconlance Chronicles trilogy being a fun read back in the day.
At this point it's a proposal targeting Fedora 40 and the exact implementation is up in the air. It will likely be opt-out, but yes, you could turn it off.
Well, I moved away from Fedora with the licensing change and telemetry proposal. It's a great distro and it's pretty much the most cohesive experience I've had with linux, but those issues have made me wary. We'll see where they go from here, but for now I'm looking elsewhere.
Well, I borrowed a portable optical drive and initial tests haven't had any issues. The actual problem still eludes me. I'll probably just buy a portable DVD drive myself also.
First test with whipper is not promising. Same crackling is present and rip quality for the first track is 9.57%. Q sub-channel CRC errors are in the tens of thousands for all tracks, though I'm not sure what to think of that. Audio cache of the drive couldn't be defeated. I stopped the ripper after one track, but I also didn't encounter any real errors.
So far I think I've tried fre:ac (my usual go to), Asunder, abcde, SoundJuicer, and possibly some other. I'm currently testing with a CD I previously ripped successfully with the same DVD drive before the upgrade. This issue is present with all CDs I've tried. I first noticed this with a CD pressed in 1992 I think. Copy protection has never been an issue for me when ripping CDs before.
Not sure what you mean. This issue only affects rips made after the hardware upgrade. Rips made prior (with the same DVD drive and from the same CDs) play perfectly fine. I doubt transferring the files to a different device changes anything.
This is actually somewhat in line with some of my suspicions. From the nature of the crackle, buffering could absolutely be an issue. Now if I could only figure out how to change the settings. Oh boy.

I don't read ebooks because of DRM concerns.
