I'm building a dedicated windows VR gaming PC that can live in my shed so I don't have to dual boot windows to use my racing sim.

Yes Linux and proton have come a long way, and for the most part is more than good enough. But for certain things (like my HP Reverb G2, or proprietary sim racing hardware drivers) it's just easier to pirate windows

Another hole can carry analogue audio? I think you're referring to a USB port when you say "another hole can do the same job", but obviously it can't carry analogue audio. You need an external DAC to convert the digital audio it can output, to analogue. (The phone already has an internal DAC so this is dumb)

And then of course you run into the issue of being unable to use it while the phone is charging because you have 1 port for 2 different jobs

Not all of us like the idea of wireless earphones, there are still many who prefer to spend good money on nice IEMs or headphones that don't have to be charged to work, rather than overly expensive, subpar wireless options that will inevitably turn into e-waste when the batteries can no longer hold a charge.

Not to mention the ubiquity of the 6.5mm/3.5mm jack, this is standard across every piece of music gear you can think of from synthesizers to electronic drum kits to guitars, pedals, and interfaces.

You certainly don't walk into a recording studio and find USB C ports to plug into

Yeah it was portal! Good guess

$1,100 over 15 years. I'm not a gamer, and I'm well aware I don't own these games, so I'm glad it's low

Depends on what countries classification system you're using. Most countries don't use pg-13

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

FYI PG-13 seems to only be a rating in a handful of countries, such as america, Iraq, Lebanon, Singapore and Qatar (I hadn't heard of it so did a quick search).

In Canada and Australia for example, Gremlins is rated PG

This also applies in Australia

Cool! Now maybe put yourself in someone else's shoes. Someone who doesn't want to pay an extra $500 for $30 worth of extra storage.

Or someone's shoes who use their phone for a lot of recording, so maybe they need a terabyte, or more. And those phones don't exist.

Or someone's shoes who are offline for weeks at a time and want to load their phone up with movies or tv shows to watch.

Or someone's who doesn't use music streaming services so wants to keep all their music on their phone.

There are many cases in which sd cards are useful or even necessary, so try not to think your use case is universal. It comes across as ignorant

Elevation decreases atmospheric pressure, and the difference is pretty small in the ranges that people actually live.

A pressure cooker increases pressure by about 15 psi above atmospheric pressure which is pretty huge, nobody lives 5km below sea level (although it's more complicated than this).

So yes, pressure cookers do cook things faster, but the pressure difference altitude makes is basically irrelevant
