not sure if that’s a hot take…

Nah, seems like a good person tbh. Dude should be elected mayor and then eventually rebuild all of reality or whatever Arrow did.
Wtf are you talking about?
A loss I will not mourn. I also extend no sympathy to his family. This man engaged in some of the most evil activity humanity has ever perpetrated—profiting on human suffering.
Nothing more evil in this world than a US healthcare executive.
The Obi Wan show should’ve had more seasons and every single finale should’ve been him beating the shit out of Darth Vader every single time.
The most infuriating thing about that whole plot arc was that the people bringing the case to the Supreme Court had absolutely no standing to even file a complaint, and Biden’s actions were actually, through any logical reading of the law, completely within his authority, but they were like “lol no”
and Biden, a consummate Democrat, just was like “well that’s all we can do, corpo has spoken.”
I am still convinced Harris lost in most states because people were looking for Biden’s name on the ballot and couldn’t find Kamala so they just circled Trump.
Glad it worked! Happy computering.
It will be fine. I have a weird daisy-chain of devices hooked up to my monitors so that my personal computer, work computer, and Nintendo switch are all capable of running through my speakers (and monitors).
As far as I understand, “Line” output signals are usually un-amplified, so that is likely better for plugging into an amplifier than a “headphone” output—but honestly, a computer monitor is not a purpose-built audio device, so its likely just a standard 1/8 inch phono jack amplified audio output regardless of labelling, amplified by both the computer running it and the monitor itself.
This is not digital data you’re working with but a literal fluctuation with electrical energy to mimic a sound wave-form so anything with a phono plug is compatible with anything else—it’s pretty simple technology.
The worst case scenario (assuming this stuff is all properly made) is a buzz coming from the amp when no other sound should be heard.
I am also curious about the broken front panel head phone jack and failure of the rear panel audio out.
In the case of the front panel, is it physically damaged so it no longer works or did it just stop working after the computer toppled. If it’s the latter, you may wanna open up the case and see if your front panel connectors on the motherboard came undone (you’ll need to consult your motherboard diagram to find where those are but since you said you built the computer I assume you know that).
As for the rear panel—standard check for driver updates or system sound settings being incorrectly prioritized. I have an asus motherboard that I selected specifically for optical audio output because I didn’t want electrical interference from a simple phono plug (and I was being precious at the time) but the optical output will occasionally stop working and I’ve never been able to fix the issue—likely just a software glitch because a restart usually fixes the issue. I now have my Klipsch powered speakers connected both via optical out and USB as a backup, which brings me to my final piece of advice:
If all else fails, just get a USB Digital Audio Converter and use that as your system sound output if you want to continue using your amp and speaker setup, OR, just get a pair of actual computer speakers with USB connection—dealer’s choice.

If you’re not into a book it is not some great personal failure to stop reading it. People put reading books on too high of a pedestal, it’s just like any other form of entertainment media and if you aren’t jiving with it you can just go do something else.
Semi related, recently I was referred to what I thought was a “specialist” from my doctor for a thing but I couldn’t myself determine if they were in-network with my insurance. Turns out what was implied to be a specialist was actually just a company that determines where to send people for this specific service, so we’re at the point that a primary care provider is working with a 4th party to deal with the 1st party and the 5th party is running services at the 2nd party and I am 1) the person responsible to figure out this insanity and 2) will likely be billed an obscene amount of money for something that should’ve been a 1:1 convo with a doctor and a hospital because one or five of the likely 30 people across 8 companies missed an email. (And you know all those people are they themselves dealing with the same nightmare and probably being paid a paltry $15/hr.
