Mine bitcoin! Just kidding.

I dunno, install an interesting OS or distro and use it as a throwaway sandbox for learning. Or turn it into a makeshift router (not via installing pfsense or other router OS, but by configuring network services by hand in Debian or Ubuntu). I tend to want to use redundant hardware to learn new skills.

The more you know, the more you know that you don’t know a damn thing.

Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognised or valued. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you’re a woman.

Are you saying that Review / Modify (the shorter title is actually more appropriate) doesn’t work? I’ve been using it to improve my LLM projects for a while now. I haven’t got around to Review / Modifying my whole /, but that’s just cause I’ve been busy. Luckily, today is a holiday in USA. I’m gonna set aside some time and improve my whole computer. It’s gonna be great.

Made me chuckle right after I woke up. Great start to the day. Closing Lemmy on a high note.

Oh, look. Must be one of those cunts that the bald ding-dong sent into space. I read about the stupid ground-kissing bullshit. Lemme do a thing for the cameras because I’m a rich piece of shit. Fuck all of them.

That the link is nypost certainly helped with the identification. If anyone isn’t following, Bezos. I could be wrong. Fuck 'em anyway.

Yeah, we’re all about to be fucked because so many major players are tied up in this scheme. The bottom is going to fall out and the entire world economy might be affected (USA for sure, cause WE’RE NUMBER ONE).

Set aside additional savings (if you can) to be prepared for a bad time ahead.

Maybe it is. I don’t know. But I’ve read a lot of comments suggesting that Windows burns RAM harder than MacOS and Linux.

I’m so glad my work is buying laptops with 32GB of RAM. Finally, we’re in the future. (I think true nerds need more, but these are office people using Word and Outlook. It’s glorious.)

Also, old records (from early in the CD era) had nowhere near the fidelity of modern records. I played a modern record for my father once and he was astounded how far they’ve come.

Digital fidelity (sample rate) grows more granular in higher frequencies because that’s easier for us to distinguish. (See the Fletcher-Munson Curve from Bell Labs: on a bell curve, we hear best at the frequency of a baby crying.) Think of stair steps that get closer and more numerous over time. That’s a representation of the resolution of the sound across frequencies from low to high. I may be explaining it poorly because I moved away from audio engineering toward a different career a long time ago.

Analog has all the information that’s missing in between the larger, wider steps. It’s not a placebo (didn’t say you called it that). It’s how digital audio works.

My instance isn’t allowing me to upload images for some reason. It had extended downtime the other day, so maybe that’s related. Anyway, here’s a link to a page with a chart that illustrates what I’m attempting to describe.

The industry went to shit after non-nerdy people found out there could be a lot of money in tech. Used to be full of other people like me and I really liked it. Now it’s full of people who are equally as enthused about it as they would be to become lawyers or doctors.

Best headline of the day. I like it a lot.

Another one of those pointless articles… Cassettes have been on the rise for a couple of years now, and for the same reasons that vinyl has been making a comeback; mainly fake nostalgia and the yearning for true ownership in form of physical media.

No. Cassettes sound like shit. They are a very lossy format. Vinyl actually sounds different in ways that people like. My vinyl collection has nothing to do with nostalgia (I grew up after CDs were on the rise). On a solid system, there’s a lot more fidelity in the bass on vinyl.

Let’s extend our unpopular law to more places! Soon, you’ll have to verify your age to see boobs in real life. Which will be pretty unfortunate for teens trying to get busy in the backseats of cars.

The world has basically been in decline since before life began. Or at least that’s how some people perceive it.

If I had a cloning machine, I’d make many Luigis.

The news is that they’re being promoted (very successfully) on TT, not that they exist.

Hey, if Google has to think about the future of the environment, they can’t shamelessly build massive data centers for a service that a majority of people don’t want. Try thinking of the poor executives instead of yourself for a change, huh?

Only selfish people want a livable earth.
