Mmmmm Content®. I sure do love Brand™. My favorite thing about Property© is all the Merchandise™ I can buy related to it.

Seriously, I loved Gargoyles as a kid. I loved the animation style and I loved the darker subject matter that I as a kid got to experience. As an adult, I have no use for another CGI filled paint-by-numbers show with milquetoast stories and hours of filler. And I sure as heck have no desire to give Disney any more money to support it.

Sorry for the grumpy pessimism.

I've been running crunchbang++ on an older laptop since they updated to the latest Debian release.

I love how simple and speedy it is and since it's based on Debian 12 and GTK 4 I can still run all my software super easily.

It's also become my go-to live distro.

Who knew the post Barbenheimer saviour of cinema would be Taylor Swift. She is also single-handedly expanding the NFL's fan base.

Is there anything she can't do?

I can personally guarantee you how nice ultrawide is and beats 2 small monitors every day. I have had one for 6 years and can't go back. Windows makes it easy to snap left and right.

I use a program called PowerToys FancyZones to divide my ultrawide monitor into 3 equal sections that I can snap to as well. I suggest checking that one out no matter what you end up going with

Was O'Brien and Bashir's friendship what eventually led to the Good Friday agreement? Historians will debate this topic for generations. (Not Star Trek Generations though)

Looks good. I'd go for 32 gigs of ram though if you can swing it. Also is there any reason why you want a 22" monitor specifically?

The reason this one should last is because ddr5 is new and so is the AM5 socket for AMD. AMD supported the previous socket from 2016-2022 so many are speculating that you should be able to do CPU upgrades for the foreseeable future without having to change the whole platform.

Oh boy! I can't wait to buy another similar single board computer with lesser software support when these all immediately go out of stock and cost 3x on eBay.

All jokes aside, I really hope there will be adequate stock for hobbyists this time around.

I'm also stoked to see what a new pi0W might bring to the table this generation with such an increase in SOC performance.

I'll bet his favorite episode is DS9 S4E16 where O'Brian and the Ferengi start a union to protest against Quarks unfair business practices.
