yea, i totally agree with everything you are saying except that making a silly face in a thumbnail does not carry the same ethical weight (or really any at all) as unbreakable DRM or malicious pop-ups or uncancellable subscriptions. So i gu

That's an awfully short hill to die on. Youtube is gamified. Jeff doesn't play the game, he doesn't get the views. If he doesn't get the views, he doesn't get the sponsorships. If he doesn't get the sponsorship

Have you tried a supercardioid dynamic mic with a pre-amp (like the sm7 in the post)? These mics have a fairly tight pickup pattern, especially with higher frequencies and with a pre-amp you can adjust the gain so that it really only picks

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure Also, since vaccines reduce death to almost 0, and a 'cure' on top of that reduces death by 80-90% (as you claim), if everyone is vaccinated that can be, and there is a treatment, th

Still overkill. A 555IC, a variable resistor, a thermistor and a few passives is all you need. You could get the BOM for the whole #! down to under a buck.

i mean, the real solution is to only buy good, compliant, backwards compatible cables and largely standardize with the feature set your most demanding high-use device requires, but that could put you at $30+ USD or more per cable. I tend to
