Not sure why the down votes, this is true. If you only had 16, 32, or 48K then 64K seemed like a lot. Hell, the RAM size was so important that they named machines after it.

If you think the Seal isn't affordable then don't buy one. You can buy a brand new Dacia Spring for only £12,240. Personally I don't think it's a great car but it's certainly doesn't cost 40K. If it were my mo

Really? What are you basing that on? Having worked at FinTechs and in finance in general that doesn't ring true at all. The FCA definitely takes anti-money laundering checks quite seriously. e.g. (off the top of my head) NatWest were

I’m not sure why web-midi can’t be available behind a permission to control finger printing. I can think of several light weight patch editors I’d like be able to use. There’s probably not enough demand for someone to make a stand alone app

Not sure why this is controversial. RP is just an accent like any other now. I didn’t have lessons for it and I don’t know anyone else that did. It’s just how we speak.

You say “needs to be learned” but that’s no more so than any other accent. We just grow up with it because it’s how our parents and the parents of our friends speak. If you want to change your accent you can, of course, get elocution lesson

Yes, all we need are a perfect set of requirements for a thing we don't fully understand yet. So back to waterfall again then. :P

I actually still have an old Grundig reel to reel somewhere, although I can't claim it as ever really hifi. I would stand by recording to reel to reel tape for quality being even less common recording to cassette tape. Quality domestic

I mean, yes they do wear out but the rate is pretty slow if you look after them. I have some of my father’s old early LPs and they still sound pretty good. You can get rid of a surprising amount of surface noise with a static gun and a line

Reminds me of the Autechre album Tri Repetae which was labelled as “Complete with surface noise” on vinyl and “Incomplete without surface noise” on CD.

I refurbished a pair of old Sennheiser HD-25s I’ve had since 1998ish recently. They work just like new and there is something really satisfying about bringing old tech back to a useful life. I’m using them for monitoring things that don’t h

So now consider that the same government want to extend voting rights to 16 year olds. So you can vote but you can't control the media you use to learn about who you're potentially voting for. There is something not quite right a

Sometimes I feel completely separated to mainstream culture. That the death of Sir Tony Hoare has been completely ignored by mainstream news is one of them. Not a peep anywhere for a man that put a big dent in reality.

You wish, they might just put you in a detension centre for a few weeks and take their own sweet time sending you back. You are in legal limbo before you enter the country.

I remember back in the 90s hearing about a manufacturing paradox. Robots can reduce costs but for them to work you have to carry out extra design for manufacturing that simplifies the required tasks. The paradox is that now you've sim

This comes across not as some noble to support free speech and more an attempt to exempt US firms like Grok, Meta, etc. from laws banning AI generated child porn and deliberately addicting social media.
