Re: AG BBQ I 8/28/21 - Official Thread

Unfortunately I am NOT confirmed for this year, due to multiple factors. I'd say current status is "probably not, but will know more as the date gets closer".

Re: Does anyone here actually spend 1k for a phone?

I start to balk at around $350. I've never spent more than $400 on a phone, either for myself or a family member.

Re: Oh FFS it's a GROUND LOOP!

Speakers, KVM, and MBP all have isolated supplies, so the loop(s) must run through some combination of the desktop systems and monitors.
