I feel the same way. I was done by the time Tom Merritt left. But I will forever have gratitude towards Leo for all the things he taught me on ZDTV/TechTV growing up. I probably owe my entire career to him and Patrick Norton.

It definitely persists, it's just that now our Apple Watch does it without needing to build the dashboard ourselves :)

I'd say the reasoning is adjacent but not the same. There will always inherently be some harmonic distortion when playing a record, and that sounds pleasing to the ears in a lot of cases. But the main reason records usually sound bette

The macOS version is different codebase -- most (or maybe all) user components are only compatible with the OG Windows version. Thankfully foo runs flawlessly under WINE, plugins and all.

I could not disagree more. The proletariat has no voice in a country where actual bribery has been legally upheld by the highest court.

Genuinely can't tell whether this is irony or frightening sincerity.
