Hopefully this trade war doesn't turn into an actual war....

my employer is making me buy a new PC for my remote job (or update and use my own, instead) in c/[email protected]

I'd buy the new PC so that your own PC can actually be your own still and your work stuff can be relegated to that new PC.

There's plenty of really good reason to not mix work and pleasure on your main PC, your employer or school effectively taking ownership of your main, personal system being one big one.

Optionally, I'd also just start looking for new work if you work for a BYOD place.

I could, there's an option in the BIOS settings, I just don't because my mainboard's RGB is so low-key that it doesn't really matter if I leave it on or not, and its default setting is to pulsate.

Fooyin's great so far as a Foobar2k alternative.

Still can, RGB is at a minimum in my PC, the only RGB currently at play is some pulsing lights on the mainboard which I choose to ignore as it's not hurting anything.

A drawing of Pikachu and Buneary watching the sunset on a pier somewhere, or at least that's what it's supposed to be anyways.

This and most of my recent art that I will be posting on here over time was done in crayon.

Thanks! And technically it's still around just under a new name - the OM System OM-series, but the camera that replaced the E-M5 is a GF2.

Also, some people argue that the CCD in certain 4/3 DSLRs is film-like in how it captures images.

Also, since Leica makes MFT glass, I kinda wonder why they never made any MFT bodies as their entry-level lineup while APS-C and full-frame L-mount could be their mainstream lineup and the M-mount rangefinders could be positioned as their halo products - something that Leica customers could hypothetically aspire to.

Thanks! That kid-like look was what I was going for.

Close-up of some CDs I snapped with the data side facing up.

I'm Done With Windows, Are you? in c/[email protected]

Based on how increasingly user-hostile Windows has been getting lately, I don't trust it outside of a VM or outside of a second system I don't care about if I want or need to run it baremetal for some reason, and that includes LTSC.

At least LTSC for now seems to be spared from MS' worst anti-user atrocities, but there's nothing saying those SKUs won't get screwed somehow at some point down the line.

A crayon drawing I made a couple years or so ago of Froakie and Azurill in a battle on some random pond, with Azurill sneaking up on Froakie with a Watergun attack.

Close-up shot of a bunny from a couple years ago, on which I focused through the fence using a Canon FD 70-210mm f4 lens adapted to an Olympus E-M5 at the time which has since unfortunately died of a stuck shutter.

This is a shot of the innards of my PC from a couple years ago, the Vega 56 featured in this shot has since been upgraded to an RX 6600, and the CPU I was using at the time, an R7 1700, has since been side-graded to an R5 4500, and the Wraith Spire box heatsink that's featured in this shot has since been upgraded to an NH-U12S redux /w the second fan kit, admittedly an overkill heatsink for an R5 4500, but it does a really good job keeping that CPU cool.
