Caltrops - American McGee's Honda Civic





	[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]I need something to distract me from the awfulness of the Saints/Browns game. [quote name="Fullofkittens"]They're also <i>160 bucks</i> so they'd better be.[/quote] That's incredible. They figured out how to get 160 bucks for ear buds - I mean, that explains <i>everything</i>. The condescending statement from their one clown about "courage," the barreling ahead to eliminate the jack on all their stuff within two years. Makes total sense now. [quote]I find it frustrating because I have earbuds that I really like and in order to keep using them I have to use a phone that can't even install the latest OS. I have a synthesizer from 1982 sitting here that works just fine connected to my desktop computer, meanwhile I can buy headphones right now that won't work with any Apple phone despite headphone jacks being a universal standard that's been in place for over 60 years.[/quote] I've got a MIDI to USB adapter here in the closet ... actually, lemme check. God, I hope it's not MIDI to serial. One sec. It's MIDI to serial. OK, not totally useless, lemme check to make sure this PC has a serial port... ... All righty, it doesn't. This is what I turned off the Saints being tied 3-3 to the Browns for. I'm sorry you have to see this in real time. This is not how I wanted this post to go. The other three guys in my college band all expressed interest in making music again. Will Lutz just shanked a field goal that would have put the Saints up 6-3. They're going to lose this game. Anyway, yeah, it's a blatant cash grab on the part of Apple. They wanted to get 160 for <i>something</i> they were previously not getting money for. I just wish for everyone'e sake that they would have picked some other component. The new Macbooks they are giving to people at work are missing all manner of ports. I have a Jenkins machine that we need to be on the wired network to connect to and the new guy can't connect because of his 2018 Mac. I know this sort of bitching is everywhere, but when you're already plenty busy in the day, Apple killing productivity for a few hours or days until we can get the right connector does nothing but make me hate them.
