My threadripper 1950x is from 2017… and is the cpu powering my primary hypervisor perfectly fine. That’s not 18 years ago, that’s not even 8 years ago.

Please do not buy cheap no brand android tv boxes unless you know how to verify they are not running malware out of the box. This is a known problem and shouldn’t be recommended.

When walking by / through vehicles in a parking lot with things in my hands, I will make the conscious effort to pull my arms close to my body and prevent them swaying or moving with my normal walk. As well as moving items from one hand to the other if the car is on the side that was holding them. Nobody likes scratches and dings!

I’m ok with this, though Aphex Twin would have been better.

No no, don’t look over there at my pile of lost projects. They’re lost for a reason.

I read “frogs” and was confused by the picture. The preview looks nice! But it’s missing frogs now.

Most of my playlists are actually by artist. Silly as it sounds I will put whole albums by the same artist in release order into new playlists by their name so I can just ask Siri to “play playlist ” and listen to the albums in order as I tend to listen to whole albums. The other playlists are like my year in review playlists that were automatically generated and some curated playlists like “weekly new music” and “top alternative” type stuff that I didn’t create but added and listen to often.

If I want a mix of stuff I like, I don’t turn to playlists anymore and instead I just ask Siri to “play some music” because the “just for you” radio is so good that I get tons of hits and top songs for my own taste as well as discover tons of new to me music that gets sprinkled in that the algorithm finds for me.

If the “play some music” stuff ends up not what I want to hear right then, I’ll just make the same request again or “play some different music” and it will switch to other music it knows I like. This is helpful when one request sends me down electronic path when I want more alt rock, etc.

Most cheap usb switchers will use them on the computer-switch side. I have a few models that I was testing out so I have a small pile of these. They’re great for cutting in half and using as a small usb power supply cable to breadboard projects, along with the horde of 5w Apple chargers I have in a bin.

As much as I love a good light weight DE like XFCE, KDE plasma has been the best experience on multiple distros including Debian and Arch. It's the closest thing to an accessible windows-like experience with all the customization you wish you had in windows with so many applets and widgets that fill in so many gaps in other DEs.
