Getting ready for the new week, gotta reset those vibes before monday!

Always wild to see TechMoan stuff "in the wild" as it were. It seems so niche, but I guess that just means I need to follow this sub :D

Dude, that blows. I'm sorry to hear that :(

Oh, ok. Sorry, I don't know how to use either of those. You'll need to reach out to them on that one.

To interject a bit, as both an original pebble and current re-pebble backer who also has tried most of the other watches (no-name chinese ones and samsung) The no-name ones actually aren't bad. But none of them have anywhere near the build quality - which is frankly a bit shocking. They also have nowhere near the interoperability - I can (and did) crank out faces and apps for my pebble to suit my own personal use case. That's possible with some of the big-name ones (like the Samsung), but certainly not the chinese knockoff ones.

So for me, personally, having effectively a backup to my time steel is a good deal and I'm down for it. I'd actually prefer nothing else about it change much - aside from going to normal lugs. The weirdo ones are why I still am using the same slightly ratty band all these years later.

Does the pebble app show your current watch face as active?

[–] miguel@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (6 children)

The app has a nice selection of faces, and you can also make your own (I made a few), though tbh I most use "blue futuristic" on mine

 

Do we count minidisc? Seems like it would, it is just a very small CD after all :D

This one I don't have a player for, so it's a pure collectible. Came with the high res audio though, so all good.

[–] miguel@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 days ago

Which was my point, yes.

[–] miguel@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago

Oooo nice haul!

Wearing a Pebble Time steel right now, and I'm cautiously optimistic for this.

Much like when IBM bought RH and then axed CentOS?

[–] miguel@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

But Fedora is based on an IBM product... so that's a swing and a miss. SuSE would be a better direction, IMO

 

The Clash truly understand "boxed sets". This one contains every single, packaged just like their 45s. I'm absolutely here for this sort of thing... I have a couple collections like this :D

I also love that the box can serve as a 'crate' for you to browse through.

 

Dropkick Murphys got kicked out of Xitter for standing up against Trump and Musk, and that's the kind of energy I need today.

 

I feel like I might be posting too much on this sub, but I just had to tell someone :D

Today I finally got Sector 3, the final piece I was missing for my collection of the Rush Sector remastered set.

Collection spread out, showing how each remastered CD has the individual art and individual record-style sleeves, not counting the accessory DVDs for the concerts in bookfolds and the book itself full of photos, info, etc

New CD day! (lemmy.sdf.org)

My wife gifted me with a quite a fun and eclectic CD haul!

Some of these I had only in digital form, so it was lovely to get the physical to go with it.

 

My 5 disc changer is having fits, so while it's awaiting my weekend repair I thought I'd bring up a fun topic - What's your favorite mix CD?

My wife and I make these every year or two, and they're often what rides in the car as a backup for when our DAP fails.

 

Powerwolf's "Monumental Mass" collector's edition is nuts, there's 2 disks (BluRay + DVD) and it's excellent to toss on the computer and just immerse into. Technically this version isn't a CD, but I have that one too (and the vinyl...) :D

 

Bought this used over the weekend because I have a whole pile of the Compact Jazz collection, and I've loved most of it. Looking forward to this one.

 

From Mad With Power fest 2024, which is a cool metal event

 

Great album, and such an interesting cover. Personally, I think part of the love I have for this album was the hours spent playing Quake/Quake 2 with this as the backing. The interior has a nice continuation of the exterior aesthetic, IMO.

Interior of Downward Spiral with booklet overlaid, showing the teeth and scratches

 

For me, one of my more unusual is this Android Lust collection
