PHM was released before the loudness war. I’ve actually read the opposite about the 2010 remaster. Significantly more compression making all the layers (one of the hallmarks of NIN) inaudible. I’ve listened to the 2010 version, but never fe

Some time after the Thunderbolt 3 MacBooks were released I had to get data off of a FireWire 400 drive. Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2, Thunderbolt 2 to FireWire 800, FireWire 800 to FireWire 400. Everything mounted up just fine.

There was a short period where CD players with Bluetooth and FM transmitters were made. Pairing is weird and may not work with every vehicle, but FM fallback is, well, as bad as it always has been. I really like CDs and enjoy buying them se

This has happened since the beginning of DRM. I had a roommate who bought hundreds of dollars of music from the Walmart music store because WMAs were like 59¢ instead of 99¢ from iTunes. It seems like not even a year later they shutdown the

You know of a 10-port USB-C hub that can negotiate power (old USB style, not PD) without a host device?

For many things, though, a barrel jack is sufficient and doesn’t require the additional cost and complexity of USB-C. Barrel jacks have their own problems (is it inner positive or negative, what current is required, what’s the diameter of t

For the vast majority of things I need to power or charge, dumb USB charging is fine, and I have a 10-port Anker “IQ” charger that works great for most of those things. Why doesn’t the equivalent USB-C charger exist? I don’t need 65W on eac

This is exciting! I didn’t see anything about I/O, but could the serial port be used for terminal access (or to drive keyboard input for the console). Lots of untapped potential. With the Sega CD you’d get more RAM and a second, faster

The sound design is amazing! Having the squadron announcing incoming threats on comms in full CD quality was also a unique and fresh experience. I’m sure Wing Commander and others did it earlier on PC, but for a console game it was very imm

The Sega CD is my favorite console and I was fortunate enough to have one growing up. Silpheed was unlike anything else. Unlike most FMV games, Silpheed actually felt like controlling a movie. During the first level when laser blasts are te

Not OP, but I learned just last week that Paul Revere would have never said “The British are coming!” because colonists considered themselves British. It’s more likely he would have said “The regulars are coming”, because that was the term

I’m pretty sure the PPV feature the back in 1992 said it was real, and if not that, one of the documentaries on the Laserdiscs or DVDs. Nearly everything, besides the T-1000 morphing was practical. They blew up the front face of a building,

Believe it or not, there is 6 minutes of onscreen CGI in T2 and only 6 minutes of onscreen CGI in Jurassic Park. The 80s and 90s were magical with practical effects. So many things were difficult to imagine how they were pulled off. In the

I’ve wanted this for a long time and it seems to reemerge during RAM boom cycles and then disappear during busts. I have 32GB of DDR3 that would be great for scratch space or cache of i could throw it on a card.

I was referring to the Microsoft acquisition. That’s Blizzard canceled a bunch of their esports work. There’s definitely some Blizzard DNA in the characters and lore. I like to think it’s as close to what StarCraft Ghost could have even bee

As a Blizzard and Overwatch fan, the acquisition has not been ideal. Activision nearly ended competitive professional Overwatch and significantly scaled back their big esports events to look more profitable. Lately, they seem to be chasing

I’ve been seeing this in Gemini in the past few days. Often during a prompt with a reasonably large input set, I’ll get answers that appear to belong to someone else. It may be trigger hallucination, but it seems like it may be cache collis

I’m in violent agreement that not all information should be disclosed to all people.

Can you buy a gun, a car, heroin? Why have restrictions on anything for anyone? Certainly everyone is a rational actor who chooses the best thing for society and would never take advantage of ignorant youth. Especially in a place like a lib

No one is saying it’s one or the other. It’s both. There are certain children who need protection from bad parenting and certain parents that need protection for their neurodivergent children.

One of my children reads, no joke, 150-200 books a year (not including graphic novels). Does that mean every book ever written is developmentally appropriate (or even ethically appropriate) for him? Of course not. We’ve seen this play out d

The idea that free access to all information should be available to all people is absolutism. I agree that’s daft. At least I gave some options.

In this case probably ignorant. If you ever talked to a parents with children in elementary schools, you will quickly learn that nearly every one of them had been given an online porn, gambling, gaming, social media device by their school.

Tell me you don’t have children without telling me you don’t have children. What happens when your child’s school or library doesn’t restrict the devices they give your child when outside of your home? What happens when predators infest chi

I didn’t say anything about an age gate. I’m just pointing out the absurdity of saying all that all information should be absolutely accessible to all people. No one believes that in the absolute. If you do, please share your social securit

Years ago I did a podcast[0] on physical media and hypothesized UHD would be the last physical movie format (and was shocked that it was even a thing). The next two years are probably going to be a mess as collectors snatch everything up an
