As far as tube amps go Luxman is a solid place to start id avoid any amps that use the 50ca10 tube though as they aren't readily available I think the models are MQ60 MQ68 KMQ60 KMQ68 I believe one of the SQ38s use them as well? I'd recommend the Luxman MQ70 nice straight forward amp that uses Push pull EL34 to get 45wpc which is enough for most speakers there is also the MQ50 which is a bit more power at 50wpc but uses 6550/KT88 which may not be as tube sounding as the EL34 amp previously mentioned. If you want to get a little more fancy and use monoblocks there are the Luxman MB3045 and MB88 do note there are a few different versions of the MB88 that span from the 60s to early 90s.

>XM6
It's worse than XM4, if xm4 were good for you then keep using it
XM6 has a faint unilateral whistle in ANC mode, the sound signature is arguably worse too and they hiss like shit in wired active mode even without ANC.
Xm4 latency is slightly over 200ms, it's bad for gaming but at least it works
Sennheiser BT headphones have hissing and buzz from using shitty cheapass qualcomm DAC, be warned.
Anything is better, just look up frequency response graphs on reviews before buying so you don't end up with something that have piercing highs

US moves to bar CHIPS Act recipients from purchasing Chinese chipmaking equipment for 10 years in November.
US also tighten their export control, causing CXMT expansion to cut short.
Both CXMT and YMTC might be fully banned soon, they are still allowed to work with other companies and supply their memory for chinese market for now, this could soon change.

OK listen up, I have a glorious idea. Replace the heating element with a freezing element, so it constantly creates an ice column. Now you take the motherboard, and mount it above it, upside-down, so the ice column is constantly pushed against the CPU. Because GRAVITY, the water will simply run down the column, and get refrozen.

Guys, I have a problem.
I use Arch, and recently got ahold of an MSI Z390 board (40 bucks+some bent pins) for additional RAM slots (you know why). But here's a problem: it doesn't save the EFI entry for Arch, like, at all. I do grub-install, grub-mkconfig, check efibootmgr afterwards - and it's present, just after the Win10 entry. But as soon as I shut the PC down or reboot, it's gone! Vanished! Obliterated!
Any ideas on what could be the reason? Did Polyak fuck something up? Is Mustdie interfering like usual? Or maybe the separate /efi partition is a big no-no now?

you can't mix weed oil and nic oil. the consistencies are too different and things made to handle one generally can't deal with the other

>>107557199
because every manufacturer is going full apple and is trying to get you into a Device Ecosystem so if you need anything replaced you can only go to that company. i had a vape with a "replaceable" battery until the mainboard died and even it did not use a standard 18650 and required soldering. it was just easy to take apart for a modern device

There is at least one dual pod product that has one side of nic and the other side THC distillate.

>because every manufacturer is going full apple
It's a thing. After haing it proven to them, they hopping on. Can't say I blame 'em.
As previous mentioned, I'm not. Until I find something as universally compatible as the 510 thread at least.
My 'mod' takes a replaceable battery. It's nowhere near latest gen, but that shit still made. Different model name, slightly different shape, full panel OLED touchscreen, but same shit. Eats 18650's or 21700's.

Bros, Windows is so shitty right now I avoided updates for months on my laptop. Then the other day it shutdown on me when I wasn't paying attention. On boot it started forcing the updates.

I got back to my desktop once. It shutdown again unprompted and now my laptop is just fucking bricked. I already got another one but I have to retrieve some files as I had no backups.

I don't even see the bios or boot screen. Just a black screen of death. I'm going to have to take that fucker apart just to get at the hard drive if I can't even boot into an OS on USB. What a piece of shit.
