Is this you? If so, my wife wonders what camera and software you used!

Right‽ I don’t think anyone expected spinners to outlast SATA SSDs!

Same for me, looks like us diverging for the third one saved it :-D

Yeah, I had a overall bad experience with everything being buggy and then even devices that weren’t connected to tailscale would start trying to ping the tailnet address instead of the local (wasn’t using their funky bridge subnets feature or whatever it’s called, so I don’t know why it would happen).

Their magicDNS is cool in theory but caused me nothing but problems. Once I turned off their DNS and set up my own DNS server for it though, it’s gotten to basically be as seamless as they claim it’s supposed to be from the start. I’m no longer having any issues with it at all.

I use Weechat with Glowing Bear as a webui frontend for it, which is pretty convenient.

I haven’t bought anything pre-built besides an Alienware laptop a decade or so ago, so, I have absolutely no idea what OP is talking about with:

• crystal-facet enclosures
• overall showiness

My cases are clean and I guess you could see the font on the video card if you looked into the case, but, the RGB just shines out and you don’t really have a reason to look in. The other two gaming systems I have in the house, I disabled the RGB and again, I’m not looking into the case frequently, so I don’t know that tacky fonts even register on my radar.

Keyboards/mice - again, RGB is all that’s really noticeable and that can almost always be turned off.

So, my guess is people don’t care for OPs prompt, but it kicked off their desire to talk about the only bit that is actually noticeable and that’s the RGB, if they didn’t disable it.

ETA: And that’s assuming people actually read the whole two sentences that OP wrote and didn’t just stop at the title.
