I'd probably go for the slower processor and more RAM.

Por que no los dos?

Have to rec this again because it's just so damn good. Bleachers -- Gone Now

Crumpets with Marmite butter at the Ivy. One thing I will miss!

Can confirm. Am 47.

We did it guys! Wooooooo! This is by far the best moment of my 10 days as a diehard Warriors fan.

Remember this?

Need to call it because the rest of the install will happen in the meantime and speaker placement depends on the dimensions of the set. Going with ribbon tweeter Monitor Audio in-wall LCRs and two Triad in-wall subs. Will look something like this ... Surround channels will go back to the existing in-ceiling speakers, which isn't ideal but does keep everything clean in what is more a living space than a dedicated media room. Should be pretty sweet.

Bit of a bummer, delivery of the 77" LG OLEDs has been pushed back into July and could slip further. Likely having yield issues in production, my AV guy says. Choices are -- wait it out, get a 75" Samsung QLED or (shudder) drop down to the 65" LG, which is not in short supply.

Phoenix -- Ti Amo Is gud pop ya.

My opinion, for what it's worth, is it depends mostly on input. Are you going to need to type screeds on it? If not, go for the tablet.

I agree this is now a close call that very much depends on the use case.

Ayy, Elon knows what's up!

That makes me feel a bit better, because I also enjoyed them at the NY meet.

There will still be a proper, expandable tower Mac Pro coming later, apparently. HomePod I'm just not sure about. Going to stick to Sonos for the moment for distributed audio. Maybe as the assistant portion of the thing matures?

Well that's a bummer.

Ooh. iMac Pro incoming I think.

I will try to keep everyone entertained by immediately crashing whatever I do end up with.

A great anecdote in the paper about Douglas Bader, the double-amputee English WWII fighter ace.

My wife had actually mentioned the Peloton previously as something she might be keen on, so that's easy because it doesn't go against my account. One commuter ebike for grocery/beer runs -- it's a big fucking hill and you don't always want to sweat bullets. Seems to leave room for one non-cheater XC bike.

Bleachers -- Gone Now Pretty terrific if you like intelligent cheese.

What's up with fatties, are they just a fad? Asking as one ...

Read it and weep.
