I have relatives with multiple properties in China and they certainly own it as much as their multiple properties in the US. Owning multiple properties in both they feel quite positive about BOTH systems working as intended.

Maybe someday they will be in for a rude awakening but i have no reason to disbelieve them currently.

I thought that they were simply reclassifying anyone who owned property as rich.

I have seen that argument made in good faith.

That’s not a misinterpretation. This wasn’t a call where rent limits are set by a locations minimum wage.

This was the abolition of rent.

Which does go along with the elimination of ownership. If all housing was state owned that would eliminate the potential for price gouging and allow for the distribution of housing based on pure need. An empty space + a person = housing

Not many people are calling for the end of homeownership.

Umm this is against rent at all. As in ANY rent. So an affordable price is still against this statement.

This wasn’t “some rent is theft”

Your history sounds exactly like the spiral of component replacement that is being discussed. it sounds like your replaced everything multiple times, but just kept the case.

His 'fainting' was likely cardiac arrest. It sounds a lot like heart attack symptoms.

I have heard of this happening to people in the US who work in finance. It's never 'overwork' here. It's just a heart attack from poor life style choices.

This post is about new builds, upgrades and using old parts with new ones.

I haven’t thought about it in a while but the premise of the article rings true. Desktops are overall disposable. Gpu generations are only really significant with new cpu generations. CPUs are the same with real performance needed a new chipset and motherboard. At that point you are replacing the whole system.

Is there a platform that challenges that trend?

Edit Good points were made. There is a lot to disagree with in the article, especially when focused on gaming.

Storage For the love of your data : storage is a WEAR component. Especially with HDD. Up until recently storage was so cheap it was crazy not to get new drives every few years.

Power Supplies Just because the computer still boots doesn't mean the power supply is still good. A PSU will continue to shove power into your system long past the ability to provide clean power. Scope and test an older PSU before you put it on a new build.

He’s attacking those industries in the same way a high school class president eliminates homework.

It’s popular but won’t really happen for credit cards. He will appoint a new fed chair

immigration is not going to cost Trump anything .

His supporters don’t like the bad news, but like the results.

I see the social media going back to the old, both sides are the same rhetoric.

Neat to see. The sales link states the image in the ring is the head of a young boy

IMAX is 4K or less content. Its edge is special projection that can look good and brighter on huge screens.

Only imax film prints are significantly better than anything else

I picked up some old CRTs from an ewaste find and had real trouble getting them to work around 2022.

I found a guy in southern California that can fix them but he was 2+ hours away and the monitors weighted around 100 pounds.

Just a few weeks ago I finally made the drive and got the first one repaired. It needed a few small parts and a service, but had a new picture tube installed.

It was a Sony BVM-D24E1WU.

The other monitor takes about 10 minutes to warm up. Pat the repair guy told me it would only support sd resolutions (480i) I didn't take it for repair since I didn't know what I would hook up to a SD only monitor. That one was a Sony BVM-20F1U.

Doing some quick searches it seems I got super lucky in the model both displays they were, as well as finding someone who knows how to fix them.

It seems that I should do some retro gaming. My retro system is a PS3 . Is there anything that just wows on these displays?

Does anyone have an HDMI to sdi recommendation? How do I de-embed the audio?

Update:

I realized that my Taiko Drum Master machine is a PS2. I tried hooking it up the the 20" monitor and discovered the BVM does not have a composite input, component only. I'll get a component cable since I can't imagine I'd get an input card for less.

Is there anything to look out for in PS2/PS3 component cables? I had a Sony set I got by mistake and can't seem to find them now that I need them.

It was on a Saturday evening as well.

I needed to get all of the ingredients for dinner before a school event and succeeded

Edit I should add that dinner was teriyaki salmon with crispy roasted potato wedges,rice, and a spinach salad.

I wasn't sure if this was the best place to post this. A series of events happened and I recently changed up my home network.

One of the larger changes I made was to add a Unifi Cloud gateway gateway ultra.

Right away my biggest challenge is that it does not accurately list all of the client devices that it has given a DHCP lease to.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

I have some IP based security cameras that I have only been able to locate before by looking at my ISP's dhcp lease list and find the IP.

So right now I have cameras on my network and I have to brute force lookup the IP of them to figure out where they are.

A more minor annoyance is that the network topology map is wrong and that ubiquity switches are not being mapped.
