As long as they don't have different allergies or had biometrics recorded and assigned to them at the hospital it arguably wouldn't even matter.

I've always used desktop microphones, but that's an issue I didn't even consider. Tbh it seems like most "gamer" headsets slap on the shittiest microphones because they affect you the least and it ticks another box on the product page.

Yup, this was pretty much supposed to be the point of the meme. Audio, unfortunately, is a much more difficult problem. It seems like we're getting closer every year though and I'm excited for when wireless audio is as good as wireless keyboards and mice.

I have. You either get good sound quality or low latency. Pretty much every low latency wireless protocol (at least the ones I'm aware of) sacrifices bitrate for latency. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, but I can tell when sound quality isn't great.

This wasn't meant to be the point of the meme at all. Wireless keyboards and mice have overcome the issues that made them objectively worse than their wired counterparts (latency and accuracy). Unfortunately though with wireless headphones you either get low latency or good audio quality, and I'm yet to find headphones that do both well. At the moment I have WH-1000XM4s I use for music at work and ATH-M50Xs I use for games. If I could get the best of both worlds I absolutely would, but it seems like every good sounding wireless headphones have awful latency that's too jarring to ignore when playing games.

For my current job we've all agreed to take the approach of not writing comments that say what the code does, but why you did something the way you did. Probably about 90% of our code is uncommented because it just doesn't need to be, but every once in a while you have to do something out of the ordinary to get the desired behavior, and explaining why you made the weird decision you did is infinitely more helpful.

I wasn't a Sync user on Reddit, but Relay didn't make it over to Lemmy. Sync has some of the most non-intrusive ads I've ever seen, and that's coming from someone who is extremely anti-ads. They're very different from the actual posts and super easy to just scroll past. It's also very clearly made by someone who is great with UI/UX.

I'm pro supporting devs (I'm also one myself), but I'm even more anti-subscription for software. I'd 100% buy a lifetime subscription for $20, however, $100 for a mobile app is insane in my opinion. The developer can set their prices how they please though, and I'll continue using the ad supported version until the price comes down.

Im currently complying with RTO because my office is close to my house and it is convenient, but there are talks of forcing employees to relocate to where the majority of their team is which would be halfway across the country for me. Needless to say we're losing people in droves and many medium/small companies are picking up tons of talent.

WD Greens are most commonly SSDs. They do make WD Green HDDs but they're not common, and the one OP had picked out was a 1 TB WD Green SSD.

Good to hear. I remember during Zen2 a $10 price difference in RAM could be 5-10% performance because it just ate the hell out of fast RAM.

If you're on a budget that WD Green drive is a great choice. They get slept on because they're ultimately second to Samsung in the storage space, but they make great drives and have been solid since before I was even born (I'm 23). I actually ran a 1TB WD HDD in 2013 that only recently started making ticking noises. I proactively replaced it since SSDs are stupid cheap nowadays, but I probably could've run it for a while longer before having any issues.

List of parts/peripherals

This is my first setup since moving away from home and into my own place with my partner. I finally had the ability to setup my Raspberry Pi running Plex, qBittorrent, and a Samba share. We use Plex more than we use Apple TV or Netflix at this point because it is just so much less of a hassle, and we would cancel them immediately if we did not get them free with our phone plan.

I have my work Macbook and PC both connected to a KVM to easily switch between the two. I run both Win10Pro and ZorinOS in dual-boot, but I primarily use Windows as the last thing I want to do after work most days is write code (I'm a software engineer). Recently my PC's primary use has been to stream games to my Steam Deck that it is not powerful enough to run. My partner and I spend a good amount of time on the couch playing our own games next to each other as they've recently taken over the living room TV with their PC to play their millionth run of Stardew Valley.

I've mostly been playing Tetris Effect Connected but I just finally got around to starting RDR2, so that will probably take over soon enough. I also jump between The Binding of Isaac, Borderlands 2, and Minecraft quite a bit.

I added some more pictures below. The decorations around my desk are nothing spectacular, but they are all things that make me happy, and I don't like to be surrounded by too much unnecessary clutter. If you have any questions about my setup feel free to ask!
