Personally, I don't want a huge hole in my phone and case that I'm never going to take advantage of. Wireless headphones with noise cancelling and such are far more convenient when outside than the open backs I use at my computer. The DAC in most desktops suck so I use a USB-C to 3.5mm anyways, makes it really easy to plug into my phone if I ever needed.
Just my opinion for my situation, but I would honestly rather buy the same phone without a headphone jack than one that did.
In my experience, Wayland has been the one that "just works." No disabling compositing, higher than 60 refresh rate on my monitors, screen share portals, and a few other things that annoyed me about x11. From what I hear, x11 is ancient and wasn't designed to be used as it is today. Waiting on a couple features but never had any stability issues, hopefully more app devs realize it's existence and switch from x11 like all it's devs did.
This was a pretty popular meme a few years ago, there is no context it is just silly.
Would love for more Monero software to be written in Rust. Hopefully some good can come out of this despite the controversy.
I haven't used pcpp for a while, but it's still the only thing I hear about. Compatibility isn't very complicated thankfully.
They luckily don't pay for electric
You probably can skip spending money on cases and build your rigs in a wire shelf or milk crakes or cardboard boxes or something
3900(x)'s are typically the best value for mining monero, occasionally 3600(x)'s or 3950x. The rest of the system can be built for almost as cheap as you can get except for some exceptions. Good ram (samsung b-die is popular) can be worth searching ebay for, especially with the higher end cpus since it will impact a larger hashrate. Be careful going too cheap with the motherboard, some motherboards perform quite a bit worse or don't have quality components to support the high power cpu's and will break (speaking from several instances of experience). You may want to invest in more efficient power supplies like gold rated to save on electric. You can use a flash drive for storage as it doesn't impact hashrate.
If you want to generate heat, go for higher voltage overclocks (you will need larger coolers to disperse the heat).
Was into mining and saw Monero on the charts, but thought it was just some random coin until I saw videos about it (probably Mental Outlaw as well)
I think you forgot that the alternative is to support a different douche-ey billionaire and subscribe yourself to 5x more expensive climate killing big oil?
YouTube sound quality is poor, and 99% of your bandwidth being devoted to video is wasteful. Just use SoundCloud or something. Better yet revanced patched YT music or xmanager Spotify.
Edit: or better yet vimusic
