Yeah, it's impossible to do it perfectly as long as human voices' frequencies overlap with instruments, basically. It's like asking to recover layers from a PNG/JPG File.

To be fair, it's possible to handcraft one or two connectors... might take some time, though.

People just never experienced the comfort, I guess. And forget American trucks, even a VW Transporter or a Ford Galaxy feels way more comfortable imo.

Perfect thread to vent. The difference between an Elitebook 8770w and a ZBook 17 G2 is astounding. It's like HP is telling everyone to get fucked. The Elitebooks (8770 and older) used metal, was easy to open up multiple times, had a gr

iPhone 4. And probably 5. I've only ever opened a couple of iPhone 4 and 4s, but they were definitely way more repair friendly than an S8 or a HTC One. And does 1mm under 9mm even matter? Maybe if you're one of those who claim a 1

I'd imagine, if it was really early hunter gatherers, it would go more like "hungry, caught prey, ate, happy!". Way more impulsive responses. Throw in some "starving, I wish food was more stable, even if tedious". A

If every search engine, and most websites, could stop displaying local results (which have nothing to do with what I search) that would be fantastic. Why in the world would you show me local results in the local language when I'm searc

If one does not realize it and thinks it's normal, is that better or worse? Maybe working a deadend job your whole life is easier when you don't realize there's better stuff out there even for you. "Ignorance is bliss&qu

The built in bakeries in Lidl and other stores have great bread imo.

The taste is different (better imo), goes bad really fast.

I never even considered that early machinery was custom made and had no readily available parts. I guess for any repairs, you had to go to the original maker, who would create a replacement part that would only fit on your machine. Seems li

Not sure where you scavenge parts for a z80, I think it's much easier to scavenge parts for PCs. Plus, laptops are way more fixable than you seem to think, with simple soldering. Fans can be kept going for years with grease. External k

Or you know, a laptop. I've got like 6 of them piling up dust and all they need is 19V. The oldest from 2008, the batteries on 3 have sadly failed being unused, everything else still works. I've also got 2 desktops from 2003ish (A

I would add: only use SEO for actual, useful services, content or products. Don't trash the already bad SERPs with more junk (eg regurgitated articles written for £3, surrounded by ads and popups). That's just being a c__t

As I said, it has not been my experience. But Chinese products like Huawei and Xiaomi are extremely popular due to lower price and similar quality, so if Samsung and other companies really do this, well they're giving up market share f

Office Mobile and even IE were fine, though I used Opera. This was pre iPhone, and I even had 3G with tethering on the HTC Tytn. Stuff was way ahead of its time, and worked great at the time. There were no alternatives! I will never call

I am from a poorer European country, and I've never noticed that. But it's a commonly held belief. We're paying the same prices or higher, so I don't see how it makes sense to sell devices that don't pass QC for oth

Nothing but the resistive screens seemed bad to me at the time. Very useable, useful devices. iWhatever was evolutionary, not revolutionary.

by jotm 7y ago
Highly doubt it. They get them from the same manufacturers/suppliers. This idea of "countries X and Y get worse QC products" when the prices are the same needs to die. Now, buying "Made in Japan" seems plausible. Pa

Windows Mobile phones had everything bar capacitive screens years before the iPhone, and tablets were a thing for years, as well. So please, stop with the "revolutionary" nonsense.

HP used to do that, and probably still does, with their business laptops/computers. Had an Elitebook under warranty in Germany, the graphics card burned out, requested an RMA, they sent a box to pack it in via UPS, it was shipped to Po

I've not seen them in Germany for example, but the cylinders were standard, so it's an easy swap (you can keep the old lock and swap it back if you leave). Keeps you from being locked out, for sure.

HP offers Linux on their Z workstations, which have been reliable workhorses for decades. I believe Dell does, too.

I'm always intrigued by the way Americans build the foundation. I've seen it before, seems to be rather standard. Concrete pillars, OK, but then it's raised on wood and the whole house is placed on it? I can see some benefits
