Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.

I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.

I enjoyed playing through the remaster on PC. But after 100%ing the game, any time I’ve felt like playing it I just end up running the international version in an emulator.

Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.

Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.

Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.

Help friends and family with projects.

That’s the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.

Don’t use YouTube to MP3, use one of the Deemix variants that downloads music straight from Deezer’s servers.

I have wanted to build a scanner camera for ages. Nicely done!

^ This. We try to enforce Microsoft Authenticator company wide and we will never be able to completely ditch call/text as an option. We have a ton of users that don’t have smart phones. We have a policy to only allow call/text if a user specifically requests it.

That would stand out a lot. Probably better to just bring a couple hundred dollars and buy bitcoin when it was worth practically nothing.

Not surprising. Restaurants have become even more expensive and people already don’t have money to waste. Plus many of us are remote or hybrid.

Going to have to disagree, Teleroboxer and Red Alert were awesome.

I have an Old Man Mountain Divide for my rear rack on my Haanjo. Also have an Old Man Mountain Pizza Rack that I use as the front rack on my commuter bike. They are both axle mounted which strengthens the whole setup. The Divide also has a lower pannier top rail that keeps the top of the rack more accessible for mounting stuff on top.

My only issue with their rack system is price. The racks themselves aren’t cheap and adding the thru axle brings the price up even more. I decided I’d rather spend more once rather than end up having issues while away from home.

As for why they’re getting downvoted, criticizing cars or the use of cars tends to get a lot of negative feedback.

Consider an ebike to supplement your car for shorter trips. I’ve just opted to ride my bikes more.

As someone who has dealt with a couple dozen Surface devices in a corporate setting, I cannot recommend them. They’re fine when they work. When they have issues though, they are practically impossible to repair. Keyboard port issues, dock connection issues, bricked devices, and even expanding batteries are all issues I’ve run into. When you have an issue, Microsoft will just swap it out for a different one rather than fix the device.

Thank you for that, definitely an interesting read. I like that they mention that even unpopular games may have people that love it.

You missed the /s in your comment.

Why are those patch cables so long?!

Amelie. It is by far my favorite movie that isn’t animated.

How to train your dragon (1, 2, and 3). These are my favorite American animated films.

My Neighbor Totoro. Favorite Japanese animated film.

Currently watching Yuru Camp S03 and Unnamed Memories. Unnamed Memories was a total surprise for me.

We use Slack for those of us on the IT team, but Teams for everyone else. I despise Teams.

There are two reasons why I refuse to play MTG now: Wizards of the Coast is shitty and the experience of playing at my local game store.
