fuck these copy controlled CDs - impossible to get an accurate rip out of them it seems :(

Home theatre needs some new speakers and acoustic treatment - lots of harsh surfaces and the speakers are old, not suitable and basic in the first place. Might buy a calibration mic, take some measurements with REW, buy new speakers then do some more measurements and figure out how to flatten out the frequencies and get close to the Harman +6db low frequency target curve

saw a sticker on the back of a CD that had the price on it - this came out in 1997, making the $28 back then equivalent to over $56 now! no way I'd pay $56 for an album in 2024

I just want a 27" (or more) all in one mac with all new bits.

but I could be swayed by a 20" macbook pro on a day where my resolve is weak.

@NanoRaptor really is a shame Apple snuffed out the 27" iMac :(

the price keeps dropping on this bad boy - not that I'm going to spend $138k on a car, but $90k? For a Porsche? Maybe.. probably not, but I can dream

found one of these cards on the footpath outside my house - no markings, probably chuck in the bin? No chance of finding the owner?
