People were trying to gently educate you on a metaphor and you decided anything pre-internet is a requirement. Then you keep talking about your lived experience when you got it wrong. Then you attack people when they said they’re not going to do work for you and if you want info you can look it up yourself. You got some real boomer energy my guy/gal.

Yeah but I think that’s the point. MSI isn’t going to make something for other companies and now they’re saying you don’t have to have more bloat installed on your computer, just do it online. I agree that if you can get it to work through OpenRGB that would be best, but I see this as a switch to something better unless there is something I’m missing.

The analogy I see it compatible to would be a company not forcing you to download an app on your phone to make something work but allowing you to use the browser on your phone.

OpenRGB is good but doesn’t work for everything. Specially the HyperX Quadcast S which is unfortunate. Also they don’t make software for Mac so if you want to change your color you have to use a bunch of goofy work arounds. (Before people criticize me for getting it without all the research, I already know and have learned. The mic was on sale on Amazon and said it was Mac compatible which isn’t a lie technically).

I guess it depends on the subtitle type? I know some are just the spoken audio and some are descriptions of side conversations/surrounding noises as well. That said I’m one of those that reads faster than hearing but that’s due to bad hearing and my brain trying to figure out what it heard is slower than reading/hearing combined. Or even sometimes the subtitles are a bit fast so I’m still about even.

I wasn’t going to respond until I saw you mention car. I do think the Miata and the GR86 are solid built for drivers cars. They’re relatively inexpensive for a sports car too. That said, in regards to electronics I would say the deck is by far best. Trying to compare across categories is really tough though

I believe what they’re saying is that if UPS or FedEx is now the postal service they’ll put junk mail for their services in your mailbox. What you consider junk mail is other businesses paying the post office to send mail (though you may not like it).

Yes but also the more people that want e-books the more the library has to pay. I listened in on a reason they were closing a library branch and one reason was the publishers require full amounts for the e-books to be "licensed" and it only lasts for a couple years. Then they just pay for a full price book license again. So over time it's so much more expensive as the library has a reoccurring price they have to pay per book and can't even sell off old books to recoup an initial cost.

They even mentioned on the call that they tried to work with other counties to pool their bargaining power and the publishers don't care and won't give out any discounts.
