Need a recommendation for reliable, smallish, cheapish desktop active speakers for playing music from PC please.
I have the earlier gen of the PreSonus Eris 3.5BT which were about £100, and a vast improvement on the ancient Creative/Logitech stuff I had before.
But the power is failing and this seems to be be a common issue and not repairable. I can live without Bluetooth feature.

But to the important issue of the day - what is going on with Blair's bookshelves?

[Edit: Blair is using AI bookshelves, isn't he - now I don't know who to trust]

See @jellybaby post above https://www.lfgss.com/comments/17586357/ for an example.
In fact the Squadrats privacy policy clearly says
Our App requires your outdoor activities data (such as bike rides, runs, swims, etc.) in order to be functional to you. The moment you allow the Squadrats App to read data from your fitness app (such as Strava), or allow our Mobile App to track your activity, the data from your activities will be sent to our servers. This data then becomes publicly accessible to other users of the App. By using the App you agree that your activity data becomes public.
Which is clearly at fundamental odds with new Strava policy - but then, does the Strava policy apply to already ingested data? 🤷
-
That communication is pretty vague - what does 'your activity data' or 'surface' actually mean in practice? Why not give concrete examples?
It does seem reasonable to assume that displaying an actual activity trace to others, like your example won't be allowed (I didn't even realise Squadrats allowed this!).
I note that Squadrats now has a Garmin Connect sync option that wasn't there before, though. Also a few weeks ago, the author told me he had a dedicated iOS/Android app in progress.

Being honest about the true cost?
It's taking the 'debt' bit of it seriously - it is by definition the financial cost of short term over long term decisions (including lack of decisions).
A proper analysis would include risk, that is both the chance of an outcome that requires the debt to be paid off, and the financial impact of not doing so.
Looking at it like that, it seems obvious that it should be on the balance sheet, which usually contains far more intangible element. Has anyone ever seen this done?

As others have said, this person needs to decide what they want the machine to do first, the spec cannot be reviewed without this context, other than demonstrating the person doesn't understand enough to spec.
e.g. they have specced a fairly expensive overclocking-enabled CPU (which is of minimal/dubious benefit these days, and is extremely inefficient in terms of power cost), but the motherboard doesn't support CPU overclocking.

I am not a betting expert, but I don't think bookmaker odds for a long-running contest (esp with only 2 options) tell you that much in isolation - as they may be significantly weighted in order to reverse the pattern of earlier betting, so risk of bookmaker loss is minimised. They should not be read as probabilities.
(edit: I guess people did say this before, but still.
However a graph of average odds over time is more interesting e.g: https://www.realclearpolling.com/betting-odds/2024/president

Interestingly she makes a point of doing it in Episode 2's flashback-10-years scene, I think. She might also be digitally de-aged?
Haven't watched any more yet.
