But a 135 QR 29er wheel isn't that special, so finding one that wasn't either a junk hub or $600 hub shouldn't have been an issue. Even finding TA non boost wheels is becoming difficult.

I ended up finding a lightly used Nukeproof wheel for around $100.

Thankfully the fork on that same bike is just using off the shelf SRAM parts.

Except if they change BB or axle spacing standards, which seems to be happening every few years.

I struggled to find a half decent 135 QR 29er wheel last year for my Trek Xcaliber. A nearly $2000CDN bike from 2016 with nothing wrong except the free hub, and everywhere told me to just get a new bike.

I like my bikes, but I really hate the people running the industry.

That was the Nexus 6P. Nexus 6 was made by Motorola and overall an amazing phone

I'll die before I give up my automatic wipers! Thankfully my 2004 and 2013 VWs have it and don't lock me out of features like new cars.

Linux runs on anything.

That is not correct. The DRAM is not part of the same die that the SoC is on. It is separate packages directly beside the SoC. The storage is also separate packages.

If it was all one die it would be huge and have poor yields.

How is your Plex install so big? My library is like 6x larger and my Plex install lives in a 24GB VM

I am sure I am in the minority, but avoid AAC multi channel encodes as much as possible. It really makes no sense for anyone. Most home theater equipment does not support it. AC3 or eAC3 are supported by nearly every device natively. AAC does not work over SPDIF or HDMI ARC without reencoding. All that for a slightly lower bitrate? No thanks. Plus most are likely encoded from a AC3 or eAC3 so they will sound worse than the native version.

A heat pump isn't any more efficient than a AC only unit of the same SEER rating. They are literally the same system with the heat pump having a couple extra valves and parts to reverse the flow of the refrigerator.

"Modern Device" aka Apple TV, AndroidTV, iOS or MacOS. No app for Android phones.

A lot of light rail uses resilient wheels and heavy rail does not.

Wheel profiles (the shape of the part that actually touches the rail) are also very different between different categories.
