Motherboards are all about I/O and connectivity.

Personally, I do the exact same thing (I'm still Running an MSI B350M with a 5900X) but I can understand people that pay a couple hundred bucks to have extra ports / slots or built in wifi or whatever ....

$1000 for a motherboard tho ... that's ridiculous. What could possibly be worth 1000$?

Who would have guess that another overpriced solution to a non existent problem that no one wants would have been a commercial failure ....

We are in a capitalist dystopia. We could be using AI to predict energy usage and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, or help in discovering new protein folds ... but no ... Timmy wants to look like a cool futuristic dude and he's willing to pay $600 to look cooler than his peers

They're too smart to do this ...

More likely they will make the base OS free and charge for the premium SaaS features ... like they already do with one drive, O365 and game pass

This was a HUGE part of my reddit experience and I have yet to found an alternate.

I began using kbin instead of lemmy because of this userscript which has pretty much the exact functionality I'm looking for

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469175-kbin-hide-posts-after-voting

but Kbin blocks a LOT of communities that I want to interface with. I feel like I'm missing out if I'm not on Lemmy ... but I feel like I hate the user experience without the automatically hiding posts :(

Any advise?

Hey! That's my principality!

Here's a map to satisfy your curiosity: https://www.google.com/maps/place/33589+Covadonga,+Asturias,+Spain/@43.312553,-5.0595534,18.46z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0xd49df5f8662f05f:0x1c9adf9d5f25fbf9!8m2!3d43.3123308!4d-5.0593809!16zL20vMGhfams?entry=ttu

The site is tied to a very interesting tidbit of European History. You may know that during the 800's Spain was conquered by the Umayyad Islamic caliphate, and their European expansion was stopped by french Hero Charles Martel "The Hammer" ... well they never did manage to conquer the north of Spain that was mostly mountainous land inhabited by Christianized Vishigoths.

The Cathedral of Covadonga is the site of the last stand of King Pelagious of the Visigoths against a much numerically superior Islamic army. Next to the cathedral there is a small chapel built INTO a cave under a waterfall, the Visigoth army survived on honey from the cave and whatever else they could forage and defeated the caliphate invaders in part by throwing rocks at them from the heights.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Covadonga

This battle was historically significant because it was the first meaningful Spanish defeat of the Caliphate and it kicked off the "Reconquista" (The native Spanish reconquering of their own land)

To this day we have a saying that translates into "Asturias (the province where this site lays) is Spain, and the rest is conquered land" (Asturias es Espana y el resto es tierra conquistada)

This site lays in the Cordillera Cantabrica (Cantabric range) which has a lot of beautifull sights, not far from here lays the "Lakes of Covadonga" which are two ancient glacier lakes atop the mountain range and the highest elevation lakes in all of Europe.

Please correct any inaccuracies I may have committed ... I'm currently on the clock and didn't have time to double check all the info. Mostly going from memory.

Also feel free to ask any questions, I'm a local that has since moved out of the country and I'm really excited to share my province in my online community.
