  • I used to be against it, then my PC died in the early COVID days and the only (practical) way I could get a future-proofed replacement was to get a pre-built, and they all had RGB.

    From there, though, it grew on me. Like so many other things I enjoy about working with computers, the learning process was just super enjoyable for me.

    I read about different standards (RGB vs aRGB, 3 pins vs 4 pins, this module or that one, this software vs that), tried a few things, and got it looking like I wanted. Now I’m using OpenRGB to make my own patterns that match the room or the weather or whatever wallpaper I’ve got. Turning understanding into control and self-expression just feels good man.







  • “Built a 3000 bed federal prison in eight days” almost sounds like they finally actually did something, until you realize:

    • The compound is located at the site of the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, so there was already infrastructure
    • The area for detainees is a tent
    • Inside the tent is bunk beds, portapotties and a chain link fence

    But yeah, I also would have preferred our government take care of the unhoused (or just done nothing at all) instead of… this.
