   Speaking of Microfreak, I wish there are more portable but powerful synthesizers that run on batteries.

   Is there a way to cache games?

   Since churn generates jobs, I see the incentive of the industry to continue doing this.

   Ever wonder why only the well off people can afford the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle?

   by arvinsim 6y ago

   I think this is a very privileged view. Most of the world does not have the culture of offering vegetarian/vegan meals. And if they did, living that lifestyle can be prohibitively expensive.

   Yup, I am also not understanding the need for it to be a mac mini. The new Apple Silicon chips might be a lot faster. But I am pretty sure that audio plugins take a long time to update.

   I went the opposite of number 5. Instead of having multiple monitors, I just have 1 big 4k 32" monitor. I found that I am more distracted when having more than one monitor. Lots of people are guilty with no. 49, especially when it com

    Perhaps the NUC handles thermals a lot better than the laptop. I consistently get around 4-5k RPM when connecting with Elgato Camlink.

    I tried to use the Elgato Camlink with my Macbook and Sony ala6400. But everytime I use it, the fans would ramp to a noisy level. Turns out that processing is still being done by the Macbook.

    I agree. I wouldn't have used `zsh` if not for MacOS. I still sometimes forget I am working in zsh when configuring things.

    A current favorite among beginner Mini-ITX builders is the CoolerMaster NR200. It's a bit big compared to other small form factor options(still smaller than midtower cases) but the hardware compatibility is great! I manage to fit in a

    More reasons to use Electron apps. Judging from most of the comments in HN, not something to be happy about.

    I used to have this problem until I got a Kindle. I buy books less now. I guess there is just something about a physical book that makes it desirable outside actually reading it.

    Linux nowadays has better support for games so I don't think that is a solution :)

    There is nothing inherently better between playing video games or a musical instrument in your free time if both helps you relax. As usual, it's society that determines which one is a more "acceptable" hobby.

    If this sell out despite the price, then it just proves that people will buy anything as long as it has an Apple logo on it. Marketers and influencers out in full force.

    I installed Pop!_OS last month and Proton has seriously moved most of my non-AAA gaming time off Windows. Indie titles and 2D games run flawlessly at it. I never thought Linux gaming has improved so much. Heck, Steam has more available titl
