Doesn’t that only apply to American style?

I just wish someone would come out with a PCIE 4x1 capable card with SFP - my main desktop’s non-GPU expansion slots are all 4x1 electrically and even the one you linked is a 3x2. As far as I can tell the only 4x1 cards available are RTL8127 or AQC113 RJ45 ones :(

I suppose an NVME riser is also an option, albeit janky.


There are RTL8127 cards with SFP+, e.g. https://www.lekuo.com/product_view.php?id=659

edit: on looking closer, that still seems to be an x4 card.


Says electrically 3x2.

Right, but I don’t think a x2 slot exists so hence being physically a x4 card. If you had an open ended x1 slot you might be able to run as PCIe v4 x1.

I don’t think I’ve seen a cookie banner pop up with a “please reconsider” on refusal … ever, actually. Neat?

I had Debian running on an old clamshell iBook for a bit; the main things I remember were that it was kind of neat, and that it took less cpu to play music from my server via mpd and pulseaudio-over-network than it did to play the files directly on the iBook.


I'm struggling to come with why reasons why such a website should display that banner. Apple doesn't.

On the subject of cookie banners, https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ says

“To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must […] Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a site with “withdraw cookie consent” functionality.

The best you can get is that it is as easy to not consent as to consent (and this site doesn’t even accomplish that. Not consenting requires two click, consenting only one)


Does this mean those sites that require you to go to a "legitimate interests" page and manually uncheck all of them are breaking the law?

As I understand GDPR you're not even allowed to de-emphasize the reject cookies button.


Yes.


This is a more Reddit comment section than I’ve seen on r/headphones in ages. It’s almost nostalgic!

I use my wired Sundara (which have dropped in price greatly since I got them years ago!) at my desk with DAC/AMP all the time, of course, and have a very nice set of Etymotic IEMs with a USB-C dongle permanently attached (once I stopped using it for my PC*). For use with my phone I haven’t actually reached for those Etys over my AirPods Pro 2 in years as the latter are significantly more convenient. They also work fine with Windows 11 (which supports AAC over Bluetooth, as can Linux IIRC) if I want to use them there for whatever reason. Maybe I’m blessed in that I don’t require my phone to be a critical listening device?

* If you have hissing/interference/etc when plugging headphones into your PC, the Apple USB-C dongle is very good and only 9 USD.


Do you have a German word for ignoring the things the person you’re replying to liked about a given thing?


Most of this thread is already exploring the consumer perspective, and as the previous poster said they couldn't talk about the professional perspective, I chose to only focus on the production/broadcast angle in my comment.


Fair enough. There are plenty of reasons why I don't have professional experience monitoring over BT wireless, which you lay out well.

Though I've been working with writing software for esp32 and so that might change in the next month or so.

The separate light-only sticks are useful if you want the appearance of all four slots filled: having four RAM sticks usually forces a slower memory speed (as the target market typically overclocks their RAM*), so unless you actually need a lot of RAM and can’t get a 2x32 or 2x48 etc kit you’re better off with the fakes.

Edit: this is also why some “extreme overclocking”-type motherboards** only have two DIMM slots: having four actively opposes their purpose.

* And yes, loading an XMP/EXPO profile to get the advertised 3000CL60 or w/e counts!

All 4 of my PC's are 128GB (2 sticks each, no filler) and my home server is 512GB


Didn’t they only block Antigravity though, leaving other services available?


That’s less than the cost of a 34 mile round trip to and from Radio Shack, especially these days.


That's not the complaint at all - the complaint is that, because of the anti-stalking measures added at the original launch, the AirTags can't be used to track stolen items because the thieves will be notified that they are being "stalked".


Which doesn’t matter at all in the case of Helldivers 2 as it’s only available for PC, PS5, and XBS/X. That’s a good part of why PC players were so irritated, actually: when all this blew up a few months ago, the PC install sizes was ~133 GB vs the consoles’ 36 GB.
