I’ll always love random IASIP quotes injected into conversation.

Play guitar. Ride a horse. Ride a motorcycle. Play frisbee with my dog. Read a book.

Like the other reply, the little things are big things.

I hope you can feel better, friend.

Thanks! That’s an old Bob Marshall. It’s been replaced by a new one at this point.

I also have a CU24 SE. It’s an incredible instrument! I’m down to 4 guitars these days, and two of them are PRS. 😁

Of course! 😁

1. My horse, Lola. She’s an amazing 9yo grey quarter horse mare. “Retired” barrel racer, she’s the perfect trail/ranch horse. She’s got the best quirky and silly demeanor, she loves to hang out, and she’s playful, but never gets crazy under saddle.

2. My guitar. 2012 PRS 513. I absolutely love that guitar, and it got me back into playing after almost 20 years off. It’s my “do everything” guitar, and the difference in sounds between pickup combinations makes it incredibly versatile.

3. A good mattress. I spend a solid 1/3 of my life sleeping (or trying to) and a great mattress helps so much.

It’s Ubisoft… of COURSE they were selling it in the worst possible state. XD

The community content makes it absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend it. Fair warning, it IS community created content. I’ve had to re-chart and submit updates to some of the song charts on there, but I also feel like that’s helped me become a better musician as well. Knowing the song well enough that I can tell when it’s wrong and then I get to use (ToneLib-Jam, for me personally) another piece of the toolkit to fix it and resubmit.

I use it with my focusrite scarlet (2i2 2nd gen) via asio on W11 and it works fine. Running it in windowed mode lets you set the resolution and put it anywhere on your screen you want.

There are lots of walkthroughs online on how you can set up asio. Modding it consists of replacing a single DLL and then adding your settings to a text file.

If you’ve got big boy audio gear, my assumption is that you’re not using RS for learning to play. It’s awesome for picking up new songs or just playing along with songs you love.

Kinda? Someone can correct/add on to this but:

FA = Fender Alternative series (“beginner” series/line) -laminate guitars of pressed fiber

CD = Classic Design series - spruce tops, mahogany body

PD = Paramount series -solid mahogany wood top and body

The “E” At the end means they’re electric (likely Fishman pickups)

Dreadnought will be the body shape. This is the big American acoustic shape with deep low end.

Not sure what the individual numbers mean.

If you have an iPhone, just get AppleCare. Even if you smash the hell out of it you can get it replaced for $99.

Run it without a case. Smash it up, replace it when it’s unusable to you.

I think it’s less the what and more the why. Kevin Mitnick was, by a lot of accounts, not even a very skilled “hacker”. But his high profile arrest and sentencing highlighted the issues of a developing internet and the immediate backlash of institutional forces, both government and corporate, quickly rushing to shut down any and all discourse around information and knowledge being “free”.

This created an equal but opposite backlash AGAINST the perceived ignorance of the government at what the internet actually was, and the corporations that wanted to control and monetize it. (In hindsight, we can see who won that one)

This helped propel an entire “hacker” subculture into pop culture and modern life.

“Free Kevin” became a common sticker or t-shirt at local 2600 meetings, or other hacking groups all over the U.S. and you’d see it left on defaced websites from young groups testing out their skills or latest exploits on poorly configured servers.

Even as quite a bit of these hackers would ridicule and deride Kevin for being bad, the saying continued because, in the end it wasn’t about Kevin. It was any or all of us. Doing things made illegal by legislators that didn’t even understand what was in the laws they were signing could have put any of us in jail. So “Free Kevin” became kind of synonymous for “Free Information”.

Through all of this was Kevin, just trying to live his life. He got out of jail, settled down and went on living. His passing was a lot like his life after prison, quiet and uneventful. Like a lot of people, I didn’t even know he was battling cancer.

So my comment below that Kevin is free is just, to me, one final call out into the dark for an idea, and a person, that helped me get to where I am today.

Kevin is free

Same. Oem dock. It’s awesome and firmware updates come right through the deck.

I spent about the first two weeks customizing it, but I’ve settled in and use it for what it is. It’s a great couch gamer and the capabilities to play games that should punch way above its level are impressive.

The one I have is the Baseus 65W power bank. Works great, but the deck eats it all in about an hour or so.

Fellow .one resident here. Love it.

Dude I was fighting for my dammed life in that part lol
