Still ongoing. I wonder what the underlying cause is...

Still seeing this one currently.

Sunday night listen


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?

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

Happy Friday folks! Synthwaving into the weekend...


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.

Which was my point, yes.

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?

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

It's a Clash day, I think


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.

Hell yeah!

It's definitely a Dropkick Murphys Day


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

That album is such a banger, too. Almost every track is awesome.

My Rush collection is now complete!


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.


Woooooow. That sounds so epic!

😄 Generally I use a DAP in the car of course... With a backup mix CD for those days when stuff goes sideways.

New CD day!


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.

oh, for sure that sounds like fun!

CDE for sure. I used CDE on so many different systems, Sun, VMS, IBM

Haven't seen one of these in forever! I used to work in a shop that gave them to directors. They were really neat, but really hard to keep working.

What's your favorite mix CD?


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.

It's time to put on the headphones and escape for a bit


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

New (to me) CD day


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.

It's too darn early to choose, so compilation time


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

End of the weekend, time for some NIN


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.


What are some unusual CDs in your collection?


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

Rocking my way towards the weekend!


Lords of the Trident are such a great band, and I love the artwork and effort they put into their physical releases.
It makes collecting these in physical form worth it, IMO.

Kicking off Friday with some classic Rush


Gotta start my day with a classic (remastered) - the Rush 2112 5.1 remaster.

Time to listen to some punk


Time to listen to some punk and pretend not to notice that we're still having to be angry about the same things
