For me, I don't like living that close to cars. Cars, in general, are horrible~~ly inconsiderate~~. They make a lot of noise, they smell. The fewer cars I can see, the better.

I've been able to return some games based on news that they will be adding kernel-level anti-cheat. I'm glad Valve is doing this right.

They only list support for Windows and MacOS on their site. The answer is almost certainly no, it doesn't work with Linux. People may reverse engineer it like they did with the Stream Deck or GoXLR devices, but don't hold your breath. Your best alternative would be something like this: https://drop.com/buy/megalodon-doio-hot-swappable-rgb-30-keyboard?defaultSelectionIds=970727

EDIT: Or, you could build your own without the need of a raspberry pi using something like this: https://www.instructables.com/STREAM-DECK-KILLER-and-OpenSource/

you need a reverse proxy.

Relying on individual consumer choices to change the direction of a multinational company to a direction that is clearly less profitable is laughably naive.

COP is the ratio of moved heat to electricity used. Modern air-to-air heat pumps can maintain a COP of 2.5 or more below 5 def F. The 2.5 COP is important because it's the efficiency cutoff where, above that, even using methane (natural gas) to generate electricity, send that electricity to the home, and use that electricity to power a heat pump, you will use less methane than you would if you burned it directly for heat in your home.

A COP greater than 1 will still be better than resistive heat, and many modern heat pumps can maintain a COP above 1 well below 0 deg F.

Now, wherever you live, methane could be subsidized for homeowners, so the direct costs to the homeowner don't pencil out directly at the 2.5 COP cutoff, but that's no longer a question about efficiency, but around local government not correctly pricing methane.

EDIT: there was a week in January where it stayed below -10 deg F where I live, and my heat pump kept my apartment at 70 deg F with no issues, and only needed to run 27% of the time.

Right now you either want a Ryzen 5800X3D or 7800X3D CPU depending on your budget.

For the 5800X3D, you'll want a DDR4 3600MHz dual channel kit for best RAM performance unless you want to overclock the infinity fabric. For the 7800X3D, 6000MHz DDR5. For either, you'll want a set of two sticks, not four. There are more specs for RAM that you can dig into and tune, but getting a kit with good reviews for a good price at these clock speeds will be enough.

For CPU cooler, the Noctua NHD15 is pretty much the best.

For SSDs, if your budget and motherboard allows it, get a PCIe gen 5 NVMe drive, but a PCIe gen 4 drive will probably be fast enough. Go with Samsung, if you can.

For power supply, get something with good reviews with 80+ Platinum or Titanium that can handle your load, and you'll probably be solid.

For GPU, go with a 7900XT or 6950XT if you can find one substantially cheaper.

For motherboard, if you go with the 5800X3D, the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming motherboard is $110 on Amazon right now, and when I got it a couple months ago, the version I got had a recent enough bios revision to "just work" with the 5800X3D, so you shouldn't need an older CPU to update it like you used to. At this price, this board is a steal. For the 7800X3D, get something with good reviews that you can afford.

Transitioning from owning and using you own car to using a taxi service with an app solves parking issues and pretty much nothing else. Fuck Uber.

And it got that far because...

I'll bet you my right leg the answer isn't "because they had made an entirely unburdened choice to keep the pregnancy and changed their mind at the last minute."

Pitchforks remain acceptable.

The best things about the modularity for me are

1. That I can kit it out for different situations. Working on raspberry pis, networking, or 3d printers? Micro SD, Ethernet, USB A, and USB c. Going to a meeting? Dual USB c, USB A, and either HDMI or displayport.
2. That I can pop out an HDMI, displayport, or Ethernet module and hand it to someone else who needs an adapter in a pinch bc it's just usb c.

The touchpad on the framework is nice, but its definitely not as nice as my partner's 2022 MacBook pro 14. I had a Mac before this, but honestly I don't miss the trackpad that much.
