  • "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

  • Very true. The last decade and a half have just been switching between round and square corners with mild spec bumps. VR was supposed to be it I think, but it just isn't useful enough.

  • Read the article please! He was trying to make Dairy Queen employees look like they were poisoning kids, not trying to molest the girls. He put pills in their milkshakes and then showed a cop the milkshakes, claiming they came that way. Cops found video of him putting the pills in.

    He's still a bad man who put his grandkids in harm's way, or at best used them in commission of a crime.

  • You didnt have that one kid in any of your classes? A kid I went to school with had similarly deep feelings about evergreens over deciduous trees, and got in a fight with a Canadian kid after he started talking smack about maple syrup and maples in general. I dont think the Canadian wanted to fight, but he had on a Canadian flag shirt so the maple leaf was front and center, making him a target for the arborist. But it was literally trees all the time. Evergreens can photosynthesize year round so they are always giving us oxygen. Evergreen lumber is better for construction. Evergreen seeds are adapted to sprout after fires when there is more likely to be room for them to grow. Nonstop. Middle school is a weird time for a lot of folks and people on the spectrum are not exceptions.

  • The way I look at it is that I haven't heard anything about NFTs in a while. The bubble will burst soon enough when investors realize that it's not possible to get much better without a significant jump forward in computing technology.

    We're running out of atomic room to make thing smaller just a little more slowly than we're running out of ways to even make smaller things, and for a computer to think like, as well as as quickly or faster than a person we need processing power to continue to increase exponentially per unit of space. Silicon won't get us there.

  • DB9 is still used on for MIDI on electronic instruments, though some manufacturers are moving to doing it with a TRS 3.5mm plug since it only uses 3 pins.

    I had a mouse that plugged into the serial port, but my first computer was a Commodore 64.

  • I had a pittie that tried to climb trees too, but that's because he saw the squirrels doing it. And because he wanted to eat the squirrels.

  • Every time Apple forces you to update

    Jump

  • Windows wasn't any better in this case. I grabbed an old win7 laptop and it wouldn't run there either, but this time it was Korg's drivers and Windows' flawed notion of how to MIDI that kept me out of the promised land. SYSEX still works on both platforms though.

    I'll note that on both MacOS and Linux the synth in question is ID'd, addressed and usable via USB midi with no additional drivers, installations or scripts.

    Macs are popular in music because Apple pushed hard to get creatives on board for decades and it worked. I have a Mac because doing music stuff on Linux had me fixing tools more than playing music and I'm sure as shit not gonna run win11.

  • Also when you own electronic musical instruments. Tons of librarian software for synths doesn't run on Apple silicon. My 2005 flagship synth can't talk to my Mac mini.
