God damn it, that thing look gorgeous! And now I want it.

This 36 year old has cross dominance 😉 but thanks 😂

Luckily I don't fly to the US 😉

I am currently rocking a Shanling M2X which I bought secondhand for €75,- from the local classified ad websites.

Officially supports up the 512Gb but according some reviews it can do up to 2Tb microSD cards ( https://headfonics.com/shanling-m2x-review/ ). I currently have a music collection of about the same size. The Shanling M2X can drive all the IEMs I throw at it, has enough file system support to read just about anything and has WiFi and Bluetooth. Although the WiFi can only be used to wirelessly sync files (which can be a pro but also a con, depending on how you look at it).

However if you don't feel like going secondhand, Shanling offers a whole bunch of devices meant for offline playback of local files.

Closed source isn’t a crime. However trying to ruin a company with exclusionary tactics can be. Linux kernel devs and Wayland devs have all conspired to harm a company.

NVIDIA kinda shoot themselves in the foot on Linux and excluding themselves. Refusing to support generally supported APIs like;

• VA-API

NVIDIA rather wants the OSS community the use their VDPAU or NVENC / NVDEC API's. Whilst everything and dog uses VA-API.

• GBM

Not true anymore (for driver above 495), but in the past NVIDIA refused to support GBM (for Wayland) and rather have compositors use EGLStreams instead of GBM.

Next to that modern NVIDIA hardware (GTX 900 and 1000 series) on the opensource Nouveau drivers cannot be reclocked because it needs some magically blessed signature by NVIDIA. NVIDIA refuses to supply that signature for that hardware but did release it for 1600 and up series.

That's just two things where I am like, dafuq are you doing NVIDIA....

Van Rossem is weer typisch Van Rossems 😍

OMG.... We zijn net met zijn allen fris en verenigd begonnen aan een nieuw platform en dan wil je nu alweer ons allemaal verdelen in kampen ?

Also, het is patat 👀

Oh sweet, sweet irony.
