Sometimes a proposed solution has to go too far to find a happy medium.

You don't have to be a communist to be anti-capitalist. Hell, some pillars of capitalism use definition-accurate practices of all this "commie shit" Americans love to rave about. Look no further than insurance and banks, both examples of large groupings of money from individuals to be allocated where needed and keeping currency as a more nebulous entity since it's not tangible to any one person. No matter the system, one will become unsustainable when pushed to the extremes like capitalism is right now, teetering on the brink of yet another collapse.

True true. I've had similar experience with gg.deals as well, I just name HB for their loud rise about a decade ago.

By the way, for whatever reason, your link to ITAD is trying to point to a Lemmy community so it doesn't work. Not on my end, at least. I've just run into the same problem when linking GGD so I think you have to include the https for it to work.

Lately we've been seeing nothing but sob stories from Intel then here's AMD with two lots of good news in a single post. Way to go, AMD!

How big? My guesstimate would be just shy of a handful.

A good solution fixes multiple problems, young grasshopper.

Oh wow, that's cool. Thanks for this. I hadn't even thought to look for it until I saw your post but it's certainly going to help make the DAP life more appealing now.

Cool, thanks.

"Page"? I'm afraid I don't follow. Even with a CTRL+F I'm not finding the word in my post.

Is there possibly a way to do this with Rockbox on a 5th gen classic? Not necessarily with this software, but in general. I've recently deciding to get away from streaming services and got myself a Video. The only thing I feel like I'm missing is scrobbling because I like to check my year-end stats like Spotify's Wrapped.

Magnet Mount Classic Gen 5/5.5 (self.ipod)
 

I've just recently got my hands on a Video and put an iFlash Quad in it. I intend to use it as a music source in my car and I normally put my phone on one of those magnetic mounts that you shove in the air vent (like this) so I'd like to do the same with my ipod so it's accessible to replay/skip songs while driving. This in mind, my question is whether it's safe to put the ipod on the magnetic mount without borking the ipod? I know electronics used to be sensitive to this but my knowledge of tech tells me it should be fine now that there isn't a spinning metal disk inside it but I'd prefer to not find out the hard way.

Supernova Absorption for Nulification (self.nostupidquestions)

As hinted at in the title, assuming the technology/means existed that could absorb energy fast enough, would it be possible to stop a star from going supernova, effectively "calming" it?

This is for a novel (not exactly a sci-fi one) but I'd like to keep in the realms of "technically possible".

Edit. Thank you to everyone for providing answers and specific thanks to @[email protected] @[email protected] and @[email protected] for the for the further reading/watching materials that have inspired a narrative solution that is kinda hand-wave-y but should be good enough to hold up to scrutiny until the moment someone with a PhD (or good enough knowledge) takes a closer look at a fictional word with a soft magic system and smashes the big ol' BS button which I think is about as much as fantasy novel writer can ask for.
