I have multiple audio interfaces and still use the headphone jack all the time.

US profits do not go through Ireland, only EU profits do.

Will Intel release a new CPU that has more then a few percentage points better performance then the ones from 4 years ago? It not worth a few thousand to replace a perfectly working laptop for a barely noticeable performance increase.

The idiots at Chipote can't seem to figure out how make deliveries after 4am. Now the landscaper army has started their leaf blowers, noise, pollution, and dust everywhere what is not to love.

Or even simpler learn to use tools. The car manufacturers are trying to prevent me from fixing my own car by using , nuts, bolts, screws and adhesives. Forcing me to buy the correct tools and then making me have to figure out what i'm doing.

4 hours will barely get me between major airports. It is not worth the risk to believe that I can find a place to plug in while in the boarding area. What happen when I have to be in three cities that day? when is the device getting recharged.

I don't think I have watched 6 days of of TV in the past 2-3 years combined.

Or for that matter fix the economy. If you are in any of many tech fields. You have to constantly add to your skill sets. The big push to learn code is fine but it does not solve the general lack of skills employers face. Code without hardware is just a bunch of one and zeros with nothing to do. Always adding new skill sets tend to allow you to move into new wide-open fields before anyone else.

Sony will be installing root kits in as many android and apple devices as possible.

The performance of all laptops has painfully stagnated for at least 4 years now.

For a home studio sure, what ever works for you. For the people that have to make living in music you are only hurting yourself. I have no idea what the latency is on a RT version of Linux, it took so long for it to be possible I lost interest last decade. If you are working in milliseconds sorry the latency is excessive. In the production world latency is measured in samples.

You lost me somewhere around DJ. I have yet to see a surface in a studio. I see PC's on tours, but few surfaces.

Finding anyone under 35 that can actually build anything is like winning the power ball jackpot and the odds about the same.

Never heard of it, but now you will be able to get on an apple tv. Isn't it exciting!!!!!

The PRIVATE universities with large endowments seem to be very good at managing their money in ways that keeps them very stable even when the economy tanks. You don't see them slash and burn staff like the for profit schools every other quarter when there is small downturn.
Should we make retirees spend at least 8% of their investments as well. They are just hoarding that money it should be out in the economy. It really seems to bother some people to let any person, school or company keep ample funds to be stable through any financial disaster, typically caused or allowed to happen by "experts" with a 90 day view of the world.
