    The replacement devices are just remanufactured using parts of iPhones people surrendered for repair anyway.

    Mic breaks out of warranty, go to Apple, give them a shitload of money for a "new" phone, they replace mic in your old one with another salvaged one, confirm rest all works, and that's the next person's "new" phone.

  • there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites

    After Amazon said there'd be more ads recently, yep, more ads tonight. Done with it. My living room is not a marketing platform. It's finally time to go back to the convenience and ease of piracy.

    The new model is based around pirating Clarkson's Farm and donating to farmers. That's the point anyway. No need to bring Jeff into it.

    It's just for office days because I do a lot of computer time. I dont pay attention otherwise and have a different watch I wear for my normal outdoor activities. It's three times thicker and has no space left for health-related sensors or a pedometer. But if this one approximates just 1km is 1,000 steps, I'm doubling down on not needing to care about steps outside of office days.

    Electric kit haha. I have two acoustics but haven't had them set up for three houses now to respect neighbours. Finally got an e-kit because I couldn't handle not drumming anymore.

    I don't actually know. I stopped as blisters started forming, but could go a few hours longer. With proper technique, it's not very physically demanding despite how it appears.

    Yeah, needs work. Was on an E kit and did some scoring patterns. Right hand 98/100. Left hand 92/100. Kick 79/100. Oof. But I still need to adjust the pedal; I know, I know, blaming equipment, but it's new and I can feel and see it reacting poorly to my usual positioning. Hopefully dial it in over the coming days.

    Haha. I did a play through of the first Living End album and some Rise Against in the mix as well. I haven't played in a long while and slowly building back my punk speed.

    I know I'll be there when I can keep up with Scott, playing all of Dude Ranch with no pause between tracks. It is VERY physically demanding.

    Hahaha, this again. I'm starting to think big TP sows dissidence in society, trying to cause any form of logistics service to be disrupted, so long as it's not their trucks.

    But also I love seeing how many people don't know how to clean themselves at home if they have no TP.

  • I was thinking about it. I donate to quite a few charities, but they specifically mean something to me. Others I don't really think about, though they're good. I guess we all have a threshold or we'd be broke and for many that could be no donations at all or just a fiver the the street guy.

    It's an interesting diet this breed needs. Basically small frozen scraps, but very rich in content. Their digestive systems evolved as nomads north of the Arctic Circle and know nothing else, so a bit of care needs to be taken. His body will do a lot with the vital scraps of tundra animals, and doesn't know how to handle big foreign diets which make him unenergetic and unwell after a few meals. Tonight's menu is sheep and beef tripe—their organs go well, but their meat and fat doesn't. Frozen salmon cuts—these dogs know fish as well as reindeer and love frozen meet. They extract all the goods from them. And a rabbit foot—Fur and bone is common in their diet and helps clean. They can start to poop bad without fur fibre. One of the more tame dishes considering the other weird off cuts of bits and pieces he gets. Thought some may find it interesting for a bit of an unusual breed outside of Finland. Edit: And yeah, the photo makes the meal look big and him small. But he's 20kg and that dish is about 3/4 a banana in diameter.

    Just in case you're like me and forget to pay attention for a moment and three more albums slide on by without realising. It's also excellent, as usual. Probably a top 3 of their disco for my personal taste.

    **Gaming** - Mostly a huge array of co-op games, performance doesn't matter much, just good 1440 frame rate with high settings. - HOWEVER, sim racing is my exception and I'm wanting to upgrade from a single 27" to something more immersive. Considering I'm on the most minimal, a TV, triple 24s, or VR are all big immersion upgrades, but each with their pros and cons. But all demanding more of the GPU,ideally keeping rates at 120, even 90 maybe... 1080 for triples, but ideally 1440 all-round to make use of FSR better. **Data Science** - I need my PC to be a workhorse. Many hours of my week are ETL of big datasets and complex models. Lots of calculation time and lots of loading tables/arrays into memory for queries and transforms. - Ive recently gone up to 32GB DDR4 3600 (going to go to 64) and an R9 5900X. It's done nothing huge for gaming, but it's increased my data crunching tasks significantly. **What I have right now...** **Guts** - Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard - AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor - MSI MECH 2X Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card - Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory **Storage (This is way behind)** - Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive - Silicon Power UD90 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive - And some ancient 2TB 7200 HDD that's a dying archive only drive **Primary display** - Acer Nitro XZ272U Pbmiiphx 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Curved Monitor **Cooling** - Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case - Deepcool LT520 85.85 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler **Where I'm stuck...** - Should I go up to AM5 even though I just got the 5900X? - Do I then go DDR5 instead of 64GB DDR4 or am I getting too many year's ahead of myself? - The 6700XT is not overclocking friendly, for sim racing I may need to bump up if going for more display. - For storage, what's the best way to go for a bunch of games installed, but also not having stuff get in the way of data crunching applications and calculations? Should I reserve a drive purely for data? Can I dedicate anything to it on top of the 64GM RAM coming in? - Lastly, the display conundrum for sim racing; VR, TV, triples... 49" UW on top of any above upgrades is just way over budget. I'm basically just after ideas of what to prioritise next, what can wait a while, and what path I should be starting on for future-proofing without spending the budget on future gear too soon while it's all expensive. Advice much appreciated.

    Getting beginner clubs

    Hello. I do the golf and am about a 3/10 at it. I sold my old set when I moved but am looking to get a new set again but immediately hit a conundrum... Do I get a cheap new set? Do I get a second-hand set? Do I take time to build a secondhand set? The other problem is; I have no clue when it comes to what makes a good club. My previous driver was brutal, but highly rewarding when hit just right. Whereas I'd use friend's drivers and found them much more forgiving. I have no idea why that was except I noted my club head was smaller, maybe that? I also don't really know what clubs I should have in the bag. I figure I'd go with what I've used most, or maybe just go Driver, 3, 5, 7, 9... and then we go with the speciality clubs. Never had a hybrid, never had a wedge apart from PW and SW. I used a friend's loft wedge no idea what it was, but I loved it. Does anyone have good advice on all these queries? Or have a good source that isn't a crappy algorithm article?
