Which Linux Distro do you use?

I have an Intel NUC I use as a server running Ubuntu, and both a gaming PC and an Asus Ally running Bazzite. Though I intend to sell the gaming PC.

Next Apple event March 4

I don't think the A series processors currently can handle thunderbolt.

Next Apple event March 4

The Neo isn't the Mac for me, but I really like it. I also think it might be the ultimate discount GeForceNow/cloud gaming laptop.

Best movies you've seen recently?

I have such mixed feelings on Jackie Chan, mostly because he has become a total PRC government shill, and I lived in Taiwan.

Pinball

I've got a coworker who is super into pinball. He leaves a little early on Mondays to volunteer maintaining machines at the pinball museum, and owns 2 or 3 of his own. He actually invited me to a Halloween event at a pinball place. Wendy and I went, and it was a good time!

I said I'd never buy Airpod Max headphones

Never could get myself to pay for the AirPods Max. Have heard great things about them, but just can’t justify the cost. I have a pair of Beats Studio Pro I picked up at a really good discount from Costco. I grabbed them for the 11 hr+ cross-pacific flights where the AirPods aren’t going to cut it ...

I have defiantly avoided buying Airpods of any kind or Beats headphones. I'm sticking to my Sennheiser Momentum 3. Better sound quality than the Airpods although the ANC is marginal.

I'm glad you're liking them though.

He asserts after making it sound like he’s never used any AirPods or Beats…

Have you gotten any cool tech recently that you want to share?

I picked up a Clevetura CLVX1 Mac for my desk. It’s a well-designed keyboard that has a built-in multitouch trackpad integrated into the keys. It took a little getting used to, and while I don’t regret it for my desk, I am not 100% sure I would buy the full-size with numberpad for my desk again ...

Nintendo Switch 2: What do I do?

What interests you? Are you looking for adventures and discovery? Do you prefer arcade-style experiences? Do you like RPGs, and if so do you want turn-based or real-time combat? Do you want to think and work and struggle or just chill and relax?
