As unfortunate as the naming misdirection is, I have to say: LDAC sounds significantly better (to me) than other Bluetooth codecs I have tried. It also works on Linux and android with no issues whatsoever. Open source is good.

I use it with a pair of Sony XM5's, which can also be used in wired mode, so you kind of get the best of both worlds.

Those dinosaurs have had too much time already.

And, though these times may be dark, never, ever go into a PhD program that costs you tuition directly or does not provide a stipend.

For a server, IDK.

I used to care on the desktop. AM5 boots painfully slowly, which probably would have been an issue at some point. Now I rarely reboot, so I don't care as much.

It's almost like Trump throwing everything into the shitter isn't good policy

I guess what I should have said is: the art style, the design, everything about this looks like the Disney version of Star Wars. It doesn't resemble Star Trek in the classical sense.

"Liberty cabbage" sounds very Orwellian. I guess "freedom fries" does too.

This could say Star Wars on it and look no different.

Anyone else remember "freedom fries"? That's what we were supposed to call french fries when conservatives were upset that the French were not supporting the US invasion of Iraq.

"No wars under Trump"

I will not buy a Lenovo without the clitmouse

This just in: rich people want to get richer by charging more for the same product.

I have been in an argument with a landlord before. They were arguing that it was a real job because of all the paperwork. I was just like... bruh

Yes. It is not uncommon.

Also, the license gives one some knowledge about what one is actually doing with the transceiver. Without that it isn't really a hobby anyway. It just becomes an illegal walkie talkie.

Tbh, I can't condone that as a ham myself. And yes, you can be caught. It happens all the time and fines are hefty.

The basic ham license (called "Technician") is very easy and cheap. Just get one.

Edit: the following is for the US

You do not need a license to listen to ham radio with a traditional transceiver. You only need a license to transmit.

There are no licensing requirements for equipment purchases.

There doesn't really have to be one. There companies have deep pockets and the legal process itself is long and costly. They know you might win, but they also know you can't afford to slog through the process to actually get an outcome.

Strange to hear Civ described as a Grand Strategy title. Usually that is reserved for things like Victoria or Crusader Kings, which are not turn based.

Personally, I'd take this as a red flag about the company to which you would be applying. It sucks, but tells you what they think about "people".
