Silver series isn’t top of the brand but they’re certainly higher end than what I have (not Monitor Audio speakers). Enjoy!

Continuing with the off topic derail. My wife upgrades her phone about every other year or three years and I get her old phone. That way, she gets her flagship phone and I end up with the flagship from two or three years ago. Win win!

If every business experienced that kind of cost, no business would ever run with Windows. Your company very well may have those extra costs but I guarantee you that if our company saw those cost differentials, we'd all be running Macs and we're not. We're very cost-conscious so TCO is a pretty...

I think most people around here know I am an Apple fanboy. But I think what you state is, to put it bluntly, bullshit. We're a Microsoft/Adobe workflow shop. We all use Office 365 and the Macs are protected by Microsoft Defender. IT has the Macs managed rather well despite the Windows focus of...

Apple doesn’t design their hardware with business management in mind whereas Microsoft is all about business management. As someone who uses a Mac for work, I think the TCO savings are overrated. With that being said, I’d prefer to continue to work on a Mac than Windows. My job is one of the...

They finally fixed the missing temple bug without having to start NG+ or reverting to a previous save. That, to me, makes this a very worthwhile patch.

I’ve been lucky to never have a problem with an ASUS product that required RMA. I know it’s just a matter of time, as their RMA reputation has been horrible for as long as I’ve been buying their products.

My understanding is the SYS is pretty transparent though there will be a slight degradation in the sound quality—there always is when you’re manipulating sound in the analog world. But it’s not bad for a 50 USD device (from forum reviews, not from personal experience). You could spend a lot more...

While it’s true that you could place stands under the ‘center’ speaker, that would depend on how high the 55” monitor stands above the desk. There could be just enough clearance for the monitor over the reclined speaker but not enough clearance if placed on top of sound absorbent material. I do...

Placing the speaker on its side on a desk runs the risk of resonating on the desk.

For best results, all three speakers should be identical and at the same level. Most home theater setups aren’t conducive to this arrangement but it’s the ideal.

I have three toons holding names in Classic but I played Vanilla so thoroughly when it was considered current content and I really don’t want to go back to it.

Elon is bitter because he was only going to donate more to OpenAI if they gave him leadership... While OpenAI's mission creep seems to be a bit of a mess, Elon is in full sour grapes mode. IMHO. EDIT: I should have read to the end of the thread before posting this, as you've basically just...

We have a downtown store here that has a crypto ATM machine. Since I don't trade in crypto I've never bothered to look and see what coin it trades in.
