@freemo It's on target and that's what matters most. There are laser rounds that will allow you to zero the sights on your sidearm without the expense of a couple boxes of ammo.

Someone I know has a Kimber with a very light trigger. The hammer fell without pulling the trigger and while they haven't been able to replicate the problem, they made note of it.

In summary, keep the stock trigger or consider not having a round chambered when it's on top of the family bible next to the Jack and the 870.

It was a different model and in 45acp but it's something to think about. The problem that plagued the 10mm with the FBI was that the barrels wore out faster than they were expected to. The 1911 frame was also not quite up to the task in the early days but that's a Kimber and not a Colt. I've seen Kimbers feed JHP without jamming so they obviously have done some work on the design.

Have fun with that Kimber. The 45acp version had really good ergonomics and a good trigger from the factory. That being said, a Hi-Point put it to shame with group sizes two different times with 230gr ammo. The spread is just part of the design and honestly it's putting something down humanely and not measuring cocks that matters.

@thor Some of us don't sleep as often as recommended. Oddly it doesn't seem to matter too much.

@freemo @TruthSandwich What's legal drugs and real weapons? Freedom should look anabolic, amped up and holding an M16. It says please tread on me, I'm really tolerant of people and their views.

This is the internet so try not to get upset. People with egos are likely very pathetic in person. With that being said, this was made by neckbeards for FOSS and possibly ranting about software licenses.

One should consider the argument as a whole before saying "...shoved down my throat..." It could have a meaning that makes a few onlookers crack a smile.

For the best experience it's advisable to just stick with people of similar values. Drama comes and it doesn't stop. The internet is where people can be whatever they want to be except free from tyranny.

Hope you have a good experience and everything gets settled.

@lupyuen I can't believe they reported that. The industry standard calls for wipes and shredding. A hard drive would be a logistical challenge to reuse as the quality couldn't be guaranteed.

Different manufacturers and different models of drives pose even more problems. There's a reason why Western Digital has different colored hard drives. A Red or a Purple drive would work well for storage but it wouldn't be acceptable to try to use one in place of a Black series.

The business section too. It could be viable if encryption is used on the whole hard drive but I highly doubt that this is a common occurrence. There's also the chance of someone grabbing the keys or using embedded malware to save the keys on an unwriteable area of the drive.

Scrap the old desktops but save the hard drives for reuse. That sounds like management.

@lore So many graphs could be incorporated to make a meme of incredible depth.

@lore Excluding for the Floyd Rose Locking System and some other one that people don't care about. Active pickups were a big development that enabled essentially all guitars to sound the same. That might seem dumb but it allows an Audio Engineer to quickly and reliably set up a new guitar.

There has been a lot of work on guitars over the years. At the end of the day it's a stringed instrument and there's always something wrong with it. Metal and wood have different expansion points and Steel rusts. The knife edge bridge was introduced around 70 and I've performed with one of those. A super strat from 40 years later performs better and more reliably.

If you can't tell, guitars would have to be included with Keyboards. Small changes make a big difference. I've run soundboards for performances. I think I had 48 channels on one, 12 channels on another...knobs and sliders. Having to manage Analog and Digital instruments during a performance is really fun. By fun I mean having to cut volume on the speakers near the bass guitar so it wasn't picking up the vibrations from the other instruments and managing the intricacies of each instrument while maintaining sound quality for recording. Two recording systems running at the same time along with around 24 different microphones.

I should probably start putting some of this stuff down so I can use it in my CV. I've done a fair amount of audio work in years. It's just that there were systems from the 70s, 80s and 90s that were being used. Needless to say, there were two ABC fire extinguishers within reach with a shutdown procedure in case of a fire.

The only fires were due to an old Roland amp, a keyboard that was destroyed and the thing that a Hammond B3 uses. None of those were my problem.

@thor I usually only approach the women who like flannel shirts but none have let anything other than amusement or anger show. Maybe it will be successful one day.

@lore Apart from enthusiast hardware, it's very underwhelming. The last cool synth thing I saw was the pad that Muse used in Madness. Aside from that pad thing, nothing really significant in big brand innovations.

Meanwhile enthusiasts made kits to recreate the legendary synths and much more. It just seems like a stagnant market in many ways. MIDI has seemingly changed more than synthesizers have.

@brainwart I remember having to work on an older version and I have to say something. Lenovo UEFI has backdoors and it's going to get hit with a rootkit that bypasses the security of the system. It's really deplorable to the point where I would recommend not using one at all.

Linux worked fine once I did a little trick to get UEFI to load Ubuntu. Performance was good, hardware support was fantastic and it seems that the Linux system wasn't affected by the malware in UEFI. I still wouldn't trust it.

To summarize, I would not recommend getting a Lenovo at all. Framework might be a better option because the security on Lenovo is absolutely horrifying.

@freemo @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance Bigoted asshats on bath salts trying to smash with their cousins but with gentrification that will certainly fix all the problems.

@VPS_Reports@kolektiva.social Just a typical day in California I presume.

@lore I've seen his code, yeah he will make it. Funny things happen when going from DSP to x86-64 to ARM. Not really funny but infuriating.
