So as somebody with ADHD, but who doesn't engage in this much simultaneous stimulation at once: Does this really work for folks? Asking from a place of genuine curiosity!

Edit: Love the trackball mouse. They never did it for me but it's rad seeing 'em in my furry art.

America is neither geographically part of Europe nor a member state of the EU, and given the current administration, it's best that more countries isolate themselves from the US.

Last I'd used Tidal it was still glitchy, missing artists I fancy, with incorrect dates and covers for a number of other artists I like. I'm still on Spotify for now, but with ad-free clients on both my phone and laptop. Is Tidal any better than it was 4 years ago?

Nah get the Dutch to retake it and rechristen us as Niewe Amsterdam. I want my coffeeshop weed.

Magazine based reloading. Shoot 3 out of 30 rounds in a mag, drop the old mag, slap a new mag in, you're down 27 bullets and have 30 fresh bullets to shoot, plus one in the chamber.

Leopard geckos are just the cutest lil' nuggets.

Uplink is a game about hacking that's got fantastic tracker music for it's soundtrack. Blue Valley is just great background music, no strong melodies, just chords and vibes.

Over the years Sony had engaged in several media storage format wars. Just a few off the top of my head:

VHS vs Sony Betamax

HD-DVD vs Bluray

SD cards vs Sony Memory Sticks

DVD-R vs DVD+R (two competing standards of writable DVDs within the DVD format)

On top of that they were behind or otherwise involved with other successful formats such as the 3.5" floppy disk and the CD.

Spoiler alert: If your media format is successful, you get passive income via licensing. If some company wants to print Bluray discs or manufacture Bluray players, they have to pay licensing fees, leading to further profit for Sony (and anybody else involved in the making of said media format.)

There's no way to emotionally prepare for brown sharpie situations.

 

Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.

 

Apologies if this post ain't right for this community! I'm admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I've a close buddy who's wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He's wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop.

Ideally he's needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate's got a budget of ~£1,000.

If there's a better community for this lemme know!

 

After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti's works I've been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don't hear much stuff from. Doesn't have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I'd love to hear that as well!

 

(I know Linux is better than Windows, there's a better time and place for that talk)

SPECS: OS: Windows 10 Pro N Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X GPU: NVidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti RAM: 4x HyperX Fury DDR4 8GB sticks (two rated for one clock speed, the other two rated for another. As I understand it the faster sticks will just run at the speed of the lower two, and it deffo ain't causing issues cause I've tested games with just one pair or the other. Both gave me crashes)

Minidump file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g34xykxagp29246/050524-8937-01.dmp/file

Simply put, built a custom Windows machine and it gives me BSODs on many more recent games. Deep Rock Galactic, crashes within seconds to minutes of actual gameplay (not including the hub). Remnant: From the Ashes, crashes within minutes on the overworld. Starfield, crashes within minutes to two hours. Blood West, crashes within five minutes of gameplay. Helldivers 2 works fine ingame, but once I quit the game it blue screens within seconds of returning to the desktop.

I've reinstalled drivers. I've disabled sound drivers. I've popped the computer open and reseated everything at least two or three times so far. RAM was tested using MemTest86, no issues at all. CPU temps tend not to exceed anything higher than the 70-75 range ingame (hot, but my processor is rated for up to 90 Celsius). I've reapplied thermal paste four times. I'm on my third install of Windows so far, with this being the Pro N version rather than the Pro version I tried the first two installs. I've had a bit of a go at googling the highlighted files in the Minidump file, but at this point I'm all but giving up. If the Internet can't fix this shit, I'll just sell the components or machine at a loss and stick with an older gaming laptop.

 

One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?
