CPU with thermal paste applied in hexagon shapes. Looks a bit weird because I removed the normal CPU bracket and installed one that just screws down. On some sockets the cpus were bending because of the way the bracket applied pressure. The one I installed is completely even.

They have managed to build software suites that have been stable, consistent, and near the cutting edge of their industry for decades while avoid significant bloat and legacy hangover.

Are we talking about the same Adobe here? Adobe software generally does work but avoiding bloat? Have you installed Reader lately? They have their share of instability as well.

Inkscape is one of the better open source UIs IMO. There's a lot to learn about vector vs raster graphics but that's not the fault of Inkscape.

Gimp took a while to figure out.

Blender has got the be one of the steepest learning curves out there though. Not that the UI for Blender is bad. It's just that there are 5-6 different sections and each section is like learning a new app. It's huge and does everything.

Get a universal remote for your home theater. Flipper isn't really that usable and not enough buttons for that task. It can, but you'll be much happier with a Logitech Harmony.

I bought one not really knowing what I'd use it for.

  • So far the bluetooth keyboard has been the most useful.
  • I have a Co2 sensor on the GPIO for monitoring air quality.
  • Been using it to try and locate IR codes for a sound bar I lost the remote to.
  • I used it for remote shutter release on my DLSR.

Device seems well built and there's a huge community with lots of development so always something else to use it for.

announcing you don’t want to transition is a completely random and pointless thing to do

We celebrate people transitioning, isn't it a little bigoted to not also celebrate not? I mean accepting who you are on the inside is what this is all supposed to be about, no matter who you are, isn't it?

you said you wanted the rules about homophobia and transphobia gone

Nope, not what I said. Read it again.
I said they were enforced arbitrarily, by mods who only hear what they want to hear.
