@Unixbigot @petrillic And spend about $100,000 on acoustic treatment for your living room, starting with in-floor bass traps and a floor that's floating on neoprene bushings.

Nothing says “audiophile” like a $15,000 power strip.@petrillic Sure. I paid what might seem absurd amounts for a pair of transformers to use in a homebrew Harada amp, and if my 1970s Klipsch speakers weren't inherited, I'd probably still be paying them off, but I'm using electric heater zip cord for two 7 foot runs of speaker wire, and I'm entirely content with 3 foot Hosa RCA patch cords bought 30 years ago at Guitar Center for the -10dBV line level components of my system.

For some reason my wife thinks that this laptop is embarassing.@VE7WYC Even as a dyed-in-the-wool blank HHKB user, I don't see how DIY key labels would be embarrassing. What would be embarrassing is buying a new laptop just because the key labels wore-off on the old one.

It's not a secret that Google isn't the apple of our eye (there's a reason why we don't make any money from search deals with them) but yesterday's announcement about the changes coming to Google Search are plain depressing for the web as we know it.@FrutigerAero00 @Vivaldi @jon I switch over to Duck Duck Go when Qwant tries to tell me that the rest of the search results aren't relevant.
