Considering I do most of my critical listening in front of the big system, I would love a tvOS version. While Atmos can be a bit of a gimmick depending on the mix (I am here exclusively talking about listening with a full surround system, a

Harman is one of the good guys in this regard. The research that they have funded has, e.g., resulted in a better method for subwoofer placement [1]. Considering the amount of woo-woo in especially 'high-end' audio, their approach

Gnus was a joy to use. Never has an application fitted me better. Spam was the issue – there were extensions and initiatives to combat it, but it was a losing battle. It was a major cultural loss – Reddit can at its best approach it, but n

I have had the privilege of seeing Kraftwerk live three times - easily some of the best concerts, I have attended. Even if there is not much left of the original axe, I can still recommend the experience. They have a reputation for perfecti

Oh, we did all that. I even wrote my PhD dissertation on it (2001). Back then, there were quite a few research projects working on what I then termed ‘Web Augmentation’. You could do it serverside, in special proxies, or in the browser thro

Oh, wow. That takes me back to my first PC, an Amstrad PC1512 (dual 5¼"), which came with CGA and B/W monitor. I tricked that baby out with additional RAM (640 kB really was enough for most people), a 32 MB HD on an ISA card, and,

I divide my listening time between audiobooks and podcasts. One thing that audiobooks have enabled me to do, that I probably never would have gotten around to do on my own (even as I do own the books), is to read classics like Rabelais&#x27

His style is something else – there are not many SF authors (and fewer still of his generation) that I would describe as lyrical, but he in one of them.

I wrote 'smacks of piracy’ for a reason. But I do not doubt for a moment that the main motivation behind current generation emulation is piracy, and that finding a person with a one to one game library real and emulated is a remarkable

Do you expect me to believe that all the people, who, say, downloaded the leaked copy of Tears of the Kingdom, dutifully purchased a copy upon release date? Pull the other one, it has got bells on it.

I'm all for emulation of older platforms for the valid wish to preserve history, but emulation of current hardware and games that can run on current console hardware smacks of piracy.

Having read the _excellent_ series in English, it was amusing for me to see the movie in a Danish cinema, where the incomprehensible English maritime jargon was translated to incomprehensible Danish maritime jargon.

There were a lot of ads in Byte. But as noted above, many were interesting in their own right. I certainly read many with interest back in the early/mid-eighties.

I got my HP-15C in high school around 1987. Two weeks ago, I changed batteries on it, and I'm really not sure I have done that more than once before. The device is a delight to hold and use (the buttons are unmatched in their feel), an

Ditto. Looking through my files, I started doing lectures using Keynote in 2007. It is a robust piece of kit, and it makes it easy to record and export lectures afterward. Compared to Powerpoint, I find that Keynote's UI gets less in y
