What I’m enjoying now is simple. I have the Android apps Retro Music and Seeker for a soulseek client. I search an album in seeker, find a modest file size, download. I set up the folders for the apps once and I don’t do any more work. I can delete tracks or albums from the music player app too. I recommend this, it is quite easy for Android.

Thank you. The motherboard is one of the oldest bits of this Frankenstein PC.

Cool, thanks for the tips. For secondhand is there anything other than eBay to watch? My locale doesn’t have much for used PC parts.

Thanks! I didn’t consider checking that, I’d just been relying on PC part picker compatibility.

On a whim recently I upgraded the ram to this 32GB actually, from 16GB. Paid $115 and as of today it’s still climbing, at $300.

Thanks for the advice, the CPU upgrade is more of a want than a need anyhow.

Thank you, appreciate the links.

“who’s afraid of modern art” by Jacob Geller, also all his videos really.

I forgot to write Christmas string lights - these are MUCH warmer than the LEDs, much more nostalgic in appearance. I watched too much Technology Connections about this and wanted to replace the decor

The audiobook is very good, the voice for Mr Pipe is well done

I’ve started Going Postal, I’ve never read anything by Pratchet before

Dog picture tax? I would love to have a whippet or greyhound eventually.

I’d recommend going to a nearby library, asking the librarians about their own book mending process and getting their advice. Most do their own book repair.

Scrolling also gets very annoying with a trackball. I haven’t found a trackball with a scroll wheel yet.

This is one of the worst things about Apple OS’s in my opinion! And windows does it pretty often too.

I like that billboard linked directly to it

I realized Das Keyboard has a ton of USB hub keebs :)

Always happy to clarify and add more info, thank you.

I threw in ‘standard ergonomic’ because it was a search tool often - I just meant I want a normal keyboard design, rectangular, single space bar, etc. The standard ergonomic preference didn’t need to be included

The USB passthrough seems big with gaming keyboards, letting me plug my trackball in conveniently. Just a preference thing. Considering a USB hub or something instead but I’ve seen a fair number of them still available.

The audio passthrough sure is rarer and allows easier setup or removal of the headset. It’s nice to have the audio jack at desk level instead of near the ground.

Budget wise I’m happy to pay up to roughly 200 USD, but hopefully less since I’m not trying to find anything too fancy overall.

I often end up regretting a lack of a numpad as they come in handy in some sim games, or as alternate keybinds in whatever I’m playing.

I’m almost positive it is, should be stock with a 2002 WRX.

Thank you for mentioning spaghetti and marshmallows, I never would’ve remembered that game otherwise! Too bad there’s no version currently though.

Thank you for sharing!
