The dude raises some valid points.

One way to avoid looking like a fool is to look beyond just the headline- This video starts out by saying they have more Linux installs than windows, across various VMs on SBCs.

But it uses the most powerful GPU known to humans- Imagination!

My friend in Katy! Such a banger.

Not a fan of the Kanye version though.

Ok, I’m missing something then.

What is CSS used for?

Right, that’s what I understood. So using a VPN, a CSS will be able to identify that my phone is active, but not the content I’m accessing, or who I am accessing it from, correct?

The previous comment said VPNs do nothing against this type of attack- were they just referring to identifying your device?

Forgive my ignorance, but isn’t preventing this type of man in the middle attack exactly what VPNs are for?

My dude, no need to be such a dick about it.

Is there an issue with running OBD for the accessories, but not the engine?

Following on from this, they do make music like they used to. Just like they used to, there’s heaps standard fare being shoveled out the door. Every now and then, there’s a good one that stands the test of time.

This happens in every era, not just the music you grew up with.

I’m about to sit down for the next six hours. I’m happy to stand for a bit.

I think this thread just goes to show that ‘modern technology crap’ is relative. For some, adaptive cruise control is modern technology crap, for others, electronic fuel injection is modern technology crap. I recall when power windows were thought to be crap, because when the switch breaks, you can’t open the window any more. It’s the same with any new tech.

You know what? Fuck the haters, and go. By being yourself, and going for your own reasons, you are doing a big part to break this ridiculous stereotype.

As someone who knows that they know very little about git, this thread makes me think I’m not alone.

It’s like, gotta be just one line of code, right?

We’re looking at this the wrong way. The problem is the number of seconds not dividing neatly into the period of the day. You’re right, adjusting the length of a second is impractical, so let’s look at our other options here.

Holy shit, this is fanfiction at its best/worst. I don’t know what I find more hilarious… Tarkin- the dude who coldly ordered the destruction of an entire planet- having a clandestine affair, showing his sweet loving nature; or that people have even made up backstories for whoever prepared the freaking needle that was used in Leia’s interrogation.

I’m just happy to be doing my part to make copilot worse.

Wanna talk about poisoning LLMs? Just assume the coffee in my repo is in any way good.

I guess it’s a function of the kind of gigs I tend to work- The stage tends to not exist before we walk in. And if you’ve got 32+ stage inputs, it’s certainly nicer to run a couple of fibre lines than a chonky stage snake with 32+ XLR lines.

The only difference between the digital boards you’ve seen is the digital conversion circuitry is not in the same box as the mixing circuitry.

Generally these days the run from stage to mixing desk is digital.

What you want to avoid is too many conversions. At some point the signal is analog, like strings or vocal cords vibrating. Ideally you’ll only have one conversion to digital- say, the stage box you plug the mic into. From there it’s digital through foldback desk, front of house mixing desk, effects, recording, etc all the way up to and including amplifiers, which will convert back to high power analog to drive the speakers.

Having a bunch of other conversions in there - eg guitar pickup to digital, back to analog for the amplifier stage, digital to the desk, analog out to digital amps, all introduce latency and quality degradation.
