A while back I swapped out my crusty old GTX 960 for a RX 7600 and honestly, other than removing the old nvidia drivers and installing the Vulkan drivers, I had to do nothing else and I have 0 issues or complaints.

Hello 😁

Luckily I don't fly to the US 😉

I am currently rocking a Shanling M2X which I bought secondhand for €75,- from the local classified ad websites.

Officially supports up the 512Gb but according some reviews it can do up to 2Tb microSD cards ( https://headfonics.com/shanling-m2x-review/ ). I currently have a music collection of about the same size. The Shanling M2X can drive all the IEMs I throw at it, has enough file system support to read just about anything and has WiFi and Bluetooth. Although the WiFi can only be used to wirelessly sync files (which can be a pro but also a con, depending on how you look at it).

However if you don't feel like going secondhand, Shanling offers a whole bunch of devices meant for offline playback of local files.

Yes you can, it won't be great though.

I used to maintain a Linux distribution called "OpenWM8650" (back in 2011 / 2012) which was specially aimed at the WM8650 and WM8505. It would run off the SD card. Which wasn't great, but the flash onboard support was horrible at best.

Maybe you can find some old information on it, on XDA because the website for the initial distribution is long gone.

Het idee was ooit van de privatisering dat het "goedkoper en beter" zou zijn dan het door de overheid het laten organiseren.

Vervolgens proberen we voor een dubbeltje op de eerste rij te zitten en hebben we geprobeerd met de markt te reguleren, door de vervoersbedrijven te dwingen tot een bepaalde minimale standaard. En dan vinden we het collectief raar dat er geen commerciële partij is, die het wil uitvoeren.

Dit soort basisvoorzieningen moeten gewoon niet in handen van commerciële partijen komen. In steden zoals Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht, Groningen etc etc, zou het THEORETISCH kunnen werken maar in landelijke gebieden werkt dat gewoon niet. Voor een commerciële partij is de "winst" gewoon te laag, voor het risico dat ze lopen.

That will work as long as EF lenses are still available.... But Canon already took some lenses out of production.

So basically, that's gonna be a dead end path.

As a current Canon photographer (700D owner) going mirrorless is definitely the future. Canon and Nikon have basically given up on DSLRs. (https://www.engadget.com/why-nikon-and-canon-have-given-up-on-dsl-rs-133042286.html).

However, I want to highly stress out to avoid Canon for mirrorless. The reason behind it is that Canon has been "defending" their mirrorless mount relentlessly. Meaning, that no other 3rd parties without Canon's blessing can make lenses for the RF mount. (Source: https://petapixel.com/2022/09/06/canon-confirms-its-going-after-lens-makers-for-patent-infringement/)

So unless you wanna spend big bucks on Canon approved lenses, I'd go with either Nikon, Sony or one of the other mirrorless brands.

Fun fact, Sony is actually quite permissive in the licensing of their E mount. So they will basically let everyone make lenses for the E-mount.
