How’s that going in the US?

I suppose it’s not solely for gaming which turns me off the deck option; it would also be serving as the entry point for some self hosted stuff I’m running on the clunky old unit that’s still chugging along.

So possibly a false economy then?

I guess the scale of the unit is appealing - even a micro HPX doesn’t come close; but that’s the trade off I suppose.

What’s the benefit of that Vs this? I don’t care for portability and I like the option to at least crack this open and expand a few bits (if I need to).

How would you break it down?

PC Partpicker disagrees with you, especially at the reduced price on the Amazon micro option - making some assumptions on equivalence between the ‘baked in’ chips and proper GPU etc.

I’d assume that economies of scale play a part too.

But I’m willing to accept that I’m wrong!

Are they cheaper, though?

GPU prices being what they are an equivalent full size card, and the same CPU aren’t far off the full build cost of the micro unit I linked to, and that’s before cases, power supplies and whatever.

I understand the service situation; but that’s not worse than my laptop/integrated devices - and this still has some scope for replacing non-soldered parts, presumably.

Could be, but my rotation does include a decent number of tracks with sexually explicit lyrics or anti-government themes.

Go figure.

Only some users though? Very strange setup. I’ve not been asked at all, but maybe my music choices out me as old as fuck?

Looks like you live somewhere with nice riding!

Thanks for sharing - ebikes really open up the world; I’ve tackled many more roads on ebikes than I’d dare on my “normal” bike. Is your Haibike using the smart system?

Flags: not racist

Using flags to create an atmosphere of exclusion: likely racist, definitely xenophobic

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good flag, and the St George’s cross is a great design (esp. When it doesn’t have “England” written on it) but 90% of the people flying the flags are slow witted flag fuckers who are upset that brown people exist in “their” country.

Define white people.

Well, time to start sending envelopes of cash to Mullvad!

Sehr schon!

That’s such a clean build - simple and effective! Its definitely a “quiet luxury” bike!

Propping it up by the pedal made me anxious - but it’s cool to see it finished.

Spaß haben!

A few well placed commands by a few lowly 2 monitor types are always the kind of things that derail companies on a fundamental level.

What senior management always forget is that they need us vastly more than we need them…

Please! Although I’d hesitate to say I have any “claims” as such - I’m ex religious and flip-flop from agnosticism to some kind of atheistic nihilism depending on the day. “I don’t believe in anything” is as close to a solid statement of belief as I’m likely to get.

Um, this is almost definitely the primary reason:

Local business owners welcome decision to rip out “absolute disaster” cycle lane which led to “lots of customers” getting parking tickets

Heaven forbid you be unable to park on the pavement!

Stems are never very exciting unless they’re some fancy custom ones (or an excitingly painted one!) but there you go…

Looking forward to seeing the complete build!

It’s being pretty widely reported in the shrinking non rightwing press - even the Grauniad jumps on every granny arrested for terrorism charges.

I assumed it was all the black mold,

I’d love to hear more about your belief system. This kind of stuff is endlessly fascinating.
