This really is an issue with many online magazines/boards/etc. with a treasure trove of information that shut down on a whim. I understand that continuing to operate the site and produce content isn't profitable, but the cost

The thing about this is that the manual tweaking allows you to take the picture you're envisioning. Whereas the processing on the phone provides a clear picture in poor conditions, but it's not necessarily the picture I want . Fo

Also there is the balance (i.e. "go home and watch football after 5 p.m.") that the interns want as well. There are people who go do additional research and learning after class, but many don't. In the high-stress environment

It would be useful if the AI could identify the figure and impose a predefined 3D framework or skeleton as constraints for drawing. Like if one wanted to generate a human or animal there would be such a rig in place. That skeleton would in

The feeling of creation is actually really satisfying and over time I've found it more enjoyable than straight consumption. Don't have the numbers off the top of my head but people generally consume far more than they create, an

Yeah I was surprised that they wrote an official court document like that, with plenty of sarcasm and snark. I actually wanted to keep reading it all the way to the end.

A hand crank would be really cool on such a device. Rather than scramble for a charger and outlet you could just take a break and crank away.

Modern consoles are plugged into the wall and are large enough for active cooling. For a 1U rack unit they can be cooled with small server fans; noise is not an issue as the amp fans are just as loud and the music will drown them all out an

I've done live mixing with a laptop, DAW, and interface in the past and it does work but it's not something I would be comfortable with for an important show. Even with something like SAC (which is specifically designed for the ta

I'm still patiently waiting for future digital mixing consoles to do all processing in software on inexpensive x86 or ARM processors. Currently due to latency and reliability requirements all DSP work is done on dedicated chips or FPGA

Hah, I'm also "accustomed" like you and always prefer a proper monitor/keyboard first, then a laptop, then lastly a phone even for simple tasks. Obviously things are different if I'm on the street, but if I'm i

I pull <100W idle with a HPE G8, Thinkcenter Tiny, and enterprise routing/switching in my basement. All this is old hardware and you can bring it down with newer stuff. The idea is to size your equipment appropriately and not have a

There is another angle here besides copyright and that is the sharing of prop/trade secret data. This model is only available to specific orgs who request it (i.e. it's non-public) and I imagine that there are confidentiality term

Current ARM Macs don't have ECC, just like how the Intel iMac/Macbook don't have it. Likely the ARM Mac Pro will have it.

Honestly it would be a huge selling point for this device if it had excellent custom ROM support on top of the repairability. There are phones from 2015 still being supported today by Lineage.

The other other option aside from having specific contracts (as stupid as it sounds) is to patent the seed itself and then license out the patented seed using open terms.

by digitallyfree 4y ago
There are two interesting things here from a legal perspective. 1. Licensing works on the commercial seeds because they are patented, and thus the company that makes those seeds can dictate license terms on the farmers. As far as I can tell

Hah from reading your original post I already knew you were good. My comment was really meant for those interested in these setups (I get asked about this quite often) without realizing the time and effort needed to maintain it. This can be

As a homelabber myself (enterprise networking + servers) there are quite a few things to consider before jumping ahead with such a setup. It can be rewarding but you'll need to commit to it and be prepared to troubleshoot - you're

Ok I traced the block diagram [1] and it looks like that the input mix option does do what you want (send mixed signal EXCEPT for USB to PC, and send USB to the main mix along with everything else). Confusing indeed but it looks like it wor

Yes you'll typically use an aux send (pre-fade and preferably monitorable on the control room outs) to provide a separate mix to your computer, and then use the main mixer section for yourself. You've actually wandered into the sa

Most audio interfaces with a single monitor knob (like the popular Scarlett) are like that. I think they do it to save costs/panel space over having a separate PC volume knob and a monitor knob. With a proper mixer you can have a fixed

This is a Reddit problem as well, even with notifications. In a regular forum posts that are replied to are automatically "bumped" to the top, thus a thread can go on for years. Whereas here even a popular discussion gets buried t

I have done some sound engineering in the past hence why I went with the full setup of external mics+digital mixer. Obviously this is not for everyone, and I have multiple devices that require audio routing as well as multiple mics. I ended

While this requires some investment, I've found that having a good broadcast monitoring solution helps a lot during online calls. Whether you're on headphones, in-ears, or using a full wedge, having your own voice echoing back at

I'm not a kid now :) but I tinkered a lot with tech as a kid and still do today as an adult. Most of that came from the fact that I didn't have a lot of the stuff others had - no cable TV, outdated computer, etc. Thus the tinkerin

While having the taskbar on the left works fine on single-monitor setups, I dislike it on multi-monitor setups where the taskbar is shown on all the screens. Typically I like having the taskbar mirrored on all my screens so I can access it

For Linux GUI users I also like the Gnome calculator in programmer mode, which displays the different bases all at once and has options for 2's complement and the like. https://imgbox.com/SrMD3LoP

We had an official school LMS/email back in the day too, but students didn't like using that for obvious reasons. Today (at least with the kids I know) they typically use Discord for assignments and the like. It's not as bad
