Is it time for me to get a whole new pc, or is there anything I can salvage from this one?
  • Other than the graphics cards, looks pretty bottom of the barrel. I haven't been selling client systems for Microsoft office with less than 16GB of RAM since 2016. As soon as I hear the word "game" I immediately jump to ryzen 5/i5, and always have. Those are your weakest links for sure. Storage definitely is next on the list. A hybrid drive just doesn't cut it these days.

    The thing about gaming PCs is if you spend a little more up front, they last longer.

  • Don't we have some already? Knoqueror comes to mind...

    Edit:

    According to chatgpt...:

    Here are some FOSS web browsers that are not directly based on any other existing browser or engine (though they may share components or libraries):

    1. Konqueror – While it uses the KHTML engine, it was originally developed independently as part of the KDE project and is not based on any other browser.

    2. Dillo – A very lightweight browser focused on simplicity and speed. It uses its own layout engine called Dillo Widget Set (DWSET), not based on any other browser engine.

    3. Netsurf – A lightweight browser that uses its own rendering engine, NetSurf, rather than being based on another browser.

    These browsers have independent origins and are not forks of other browsers. They either developed their own rendering engines or were built from the ground up. However, it's worth noting that even independent browsers often rely on shared libraries or standards to some degree.

  • Rant: I can't believe I miss Shaw
  • "let's take all the competition, put them into one corporation. That will surely create more jobs and reduce the costs!"

    It's not rocket science, everyone knows there had to be some other motive to allow this.

  • I was just summoned for the weirdest reason

    I got summoned by some person, they drop 99x Marika runes (80K each), then a bunch of starlight. Then the person eats poison and dies and I return to my world. WTF?

    I didn't even know there were 99x of these runes, unless this person beat the game repeatedly, got board, and was doing a giveaway. Or hax. lol.

    I can't identify what song this is sampling

    Please help. I tried chatgpt, google, duckduckgo, I can't find it. The background tune is definitely reminding me of some trance track from the 2000's era and I can't figure it out.

    ...or am I crazy?

    Pixel 9 Pro Euro Prices Leak - Should We Worry?

    Samsung wanted this to be their week, and it still mostly is with the launch of the Fold 6, Flip 6, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra. However, Google’s upcoming Pixel 9 launch is incredibly close, so the leaks for it are only going to ramp up. Today, a fresh report is here to keep things moving toward that mid-August Pixel 9 event.

    A site called Dealabs says they’ve uncovered information for the entire Pixel 9 family, giving us the storage configurations, colors of each device, and potential Euro pricing. Since we see information like this regularly before a launch, I’m just going to assume they found a retailer who slipped up early, even if they won’t say it.

    So what do we know now about the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold? Let’s break it all down.

    The Pixel 9 is now rumored to come in 4 different colors (Obsidian, Porcelain, Cosmo, and Mojito) and with two storage amounts (128GB or 256GB). Those models should then be priced at €899 and €999, respectively.

    For the Pixel 9 Pro, we could see the following:

    • Storage options, prices: 128GB (€1099), 256GB (€1199), 512GB (€1329)

    • Colors: Obsidian, Porcelain, Hazel, Pink – The 512GB model might only come in Obsidian and Hazel.

    For the Pixel 9 Pro XL, we could see the following:

    • Storage options, prices: 128GB (€1199), 256GB (€1299), 512GB (€1429), 1TB (€1689)

    • Colors: Obsidian, Porcelain, Hazel, Pink – The 512GB model might only come in Obsidian, Porcelain, and Hazel. The 1TB model might only launch in Obsidian.

    And finally, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold could come in the following:

    • Storage options, prices: 256GB (€1899), 512GB (€2029)

    • Colors: Obsidian, Porcelain

    What should we take from this? A couple of things. A lot of this sounds reasonable and the colors are all colors we have seen Google use before. The new one is Pink, and this information does not match up correctly to that pink Pixel 9 we saw earlier. Today’s leak suggests the Pixel 9 Pro will be the only device in pink, yet again, that’s not what we’ve already seen – it was a regular Pixel 9 in pink.

    The other thing to keep in mind is that retailers who drop this info early, tend to either use placeholders or they use weird estimates on pricing that fluctuate. These prices do look more specific than we often seen from early retailer leaks, so that gives them some more weight.

    And finally, you can’t simply take Euro pricing and just switch the symbol to a dollar sign. In other words, don’t automatically switch to the Pixel 9 starting at $899 here. It could! But this is not a suggestion or confirmation of that happening just yet. If anything, drop $100 off to $799 to match what Euro pricing looked like compared to US pricing for the Pixel 8 series.

    Other than that, any other thoughts from you?

    Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again
    www.engadget.com Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again

    Spotify announces price hikes less than a year after its last ones.

    Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again

    Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan is going up by a whopping $3, increasing from $17 to $20 monthly. The only subscribers getting a break are students, who will continue to pay $6 monthly.

    Spotify announced the price hikes less than a year after its previous one last July. Before that, Spotify hadn't raised its fees since launching a decade and a half ago. I guess it was too optimistic to hope the next increase would also take that long, especially with Spotify's continued focus (and money dump) on audiobooks.

    Premium subscribers should receive an email from Spotify in the next month detailing the price hike and providing a link to cancel their plan if they would prefer to do so. Users currently on a trial period for Spotify will get one month at $11 after it ends before being moved up to a $12 monthly fee.

    Looking for the best way to sync music from spotify

    I used to have a script that would check a text file that I had hosted on nextcloud so I could paste in spotify URI's whenever I wanted, then nightly it would run a bash script that would leverage spotify-ripper (https://github.com/hbashton/spotify-ripper). It would see if tracks were already downloaded, and skip them, and download anything missing. It would take care of the album art and ID3 tags and everything, straight from the source.

    I've seen a few suggestions, like lidarr-extended, but that does not allow you to plug in spotify credentials, for example. There's zotify, and ZotifyFrontend, but looks like it's not really able to "sync". I also found DownOnSpot but that seems like Zotify but different.

    Are there any good solutions anyone is using currently?
