Well it seems like I can install a 3rd party driver to support LDAC on Windows... What could possibly go wrong......

HMMMMM okay so these headphones appear to sound worse when connected to a PC compared to my old ones, but better connected to an Android device, as far as I can work out this is because the old ones supported aptX but the new ones only support LDAC which is available on Android but not Windows 🥲

If there's one thing I've learnt from buying a bunch of PC parts lately it's that DPD has really cornered the market on "delivering things Evri can't be trusted with" among UK retailers

I just got noise cancelling headphones for the first time, it's actually mad how well they work at blocking out all the noise that normally surrounds me in this flat. I feel like I should've got them 10 years ago

It's a fish thing

the word "anal" is used once on the kirby fandom wiki

wow what a scoop

Weirdly Gen 5 SSD prices seem to have come DOWN considerably in the last month while RAM has shot up. What's that about. Feels like these things just fluctuate randomly and you can be up or down £100 depending on the phases of the moon

Now i'm wondering if i should get a PCIe gen 4 or 5 SSD. Gen 5 should be much faster but all I see online is redditors going noooo it makes no difference for gaming noooo
OK but what about not gaming. What about analysing 64GB SD card rips like I was doing a month ago. What about that Mr Reddit

I think I've pretty much committed to doing this... I ordered the damn RAM

Another day where I buy chocolate in case any trick or treaters show up but then they don't so I eat it 🦁🍫

with the price of ram inflating I'm wondering if I should just buy some now in case it goes up even more.... I guess it's not coming down until the AI bubble pops

so I've priced up what i think are decent parts excluding a GPU and it's come to £1208..... that is still A Lot Of Money.... but i would get a lot of use out of it
the last one I built lasted me over 10 years (admittedly with most of the parts except the CPU and MB being swapped out at some point)
