Agreed. The difference between reading 95% and 100% of that comment is massive.

At this point if you use Chrome I think there is something wrong with you.

Ctrl + Ins

Shift + Ins

Usually much easier than the usual combo

Sunglasses, cap, jumper, coat (which one varies depending on time of year). Then phone, keys, loose change and a plectrum in my pockets.

If it can only be from people who are alive, I'll take David Gilmour's talent on the guitar and with music. If dead people can also be claimed, I'll also take Eddie Van Halen's talent on guitar.

Mouthful of water, then fingers in both ears and swallow.

For me I get a >90% success rate

You might be best off with a lip-ribbon mic as used by commentators as that's the kind of thing they're designed for. On a sports broadcast the sound engineer actually mixes in some background noise from other mics because the lip-ribbon does its job so well it can sound dry. If you're not on TV though it'll be perfect.

I love an automatic mechanical watch. Still use CDs. At work I occasionally need to use 3.5" floppy disks. Still read paper books.

Early 40s with 2 active kids under 9. Nothing works any more, constantly exhausted. 20 year old me had no idea.

Too rich for you?

The CD part is just one component. Swap in a Wiim instead of the CD player for an excellent streaming setup. It also functions as the amp and speakers for the TV.

For something 20 years in the making it's not bad and I bet better systems can be had for less. Certainly my first system cost almost nothing but still sounded fantastic. My recently departed second setup cost £165 all in and in many ways was just as good as my main system.

The point is not my exact setup, but that it is any kind of a hifi at all.

My hifi is: Audiolab 6000A integrated amp Second hand NAD C541i CD player Wharfedale Pacific Evo 40 floor standers I've had 20 years

Connected to my PC I have a studio monitor setup, but that's mostly as I run my guitar though it. Prior to that I had a second hand NAD C320 amp and Wharfedale 9.1 bookshelf speakers. All bought for about £165 and sounded fantastic.

I feel sorry for you.

Amen

"Authentic vibe" is a coping mechanism to justify spending more for less.

Hello there, most people

Absolutely! With half decent very affordable headphones and my middle aged hearing it is possible to tell MP3 from FLAC pretty accurately.

CDs more closely represent the original music than vinyl though and are physical media you can collect.

7 more days where I may, or may not die. It's going to be thrilling to find out which way it goes.

But people who worked hard in peace and human rights are terrible rally drivers.

When the Dr says wait 72 hours before drinking alcohol after taking the anti biotics give it a week at least, it's just not worth it.
