I remember being a kid when standardized port colors came 'round (what was that, part of the AC'97 spec or something?). I thought that was dumb: I knew that the speakers plugged into the third hole from the top, and that was goo

But this song is an entire composition that includes lyrics, and there isn't much left of it with those lyrics cast aside. It's got no hook.

The driest places tend to have the most tightly-regulated water. And the wettest places tend to have the least-regulated water. (Nobody talks about it because shortages make bigger headlines than surpluses do, but there's a ton of agri

No. That's not what I said, and you're quite clearly being disingenuously hyperbolic. Let's calm down a bit and bring this back down to earth, shall we? Suppose you buy your groceries from a company. Do you have a right to i

A lot of us work for and do business with companies that purposefully hide information from the public. That doesn't seem to be an unusual state of affairs at all; it instead seems like a very normal way of doing things.

They're out there. Search engines are just ubiquitously poisoned to the point of uselessness for common terms[1]. But searching for specific gen4 x1 10-gig chips (like RTL8127) does produce some reasonably-inexpensive options for card

Folks have been saying that conduit is the way, and the fiber is the future, and all kinds of things like that for decades so far. But the simple truth for all those decades is this: When there's already cat-whatever cable in the wall

It's been around long enough to have gained cromulence, I think. I started using "OG" ~16 years ago to disambiguate the Motorola Droid that I had (which was the first Android phone available from Verizon) from the Droid 2, 3,

Why stop there? HDMI supports 1536kHz audio -- plenty to capture WLW's AM broadcast at 700KHz alongside the entire spectrum below it. :) But even here in these comments, they're not arguing that 192kHz is insufficient. I haven&

Speakers sometimes die while sitting unused in their original shipping carton in a dry, climate-controlled room. The adhesives can age. Foam surrounds can disintegrate. (Ask a Bose 901 owner about foam rot.) They also can also die from us

I think that a lot of it isn't country-specific at all. People often just believe that the way they do things is the best way to do those things. That's not usually a problem in and of itself. A person can believe that a Kosher

It can exist. Just add trains. The lack of other public transportation is already real in much of the US. (If we're not adding trains, then there's really nothing here to talk about in this context -- is there?)

by ssl-3 6mo ago
Sorta, kinda. Suppose in some hypothetical future, we can take the (expensive) train to our destination in Somewhere, USA, and it drops us off. So there we are, at a train station in Somewhere, USA. What happens next? A bus? Light rail?

There were some things that came kind-of close. TellMe was one: Call the number, ask it questions, get answers. Part of my normal commute for a time involved calling TellMe to get the weather for the day on a Nokia dumb phone once I got s

It is indeed a very big place. But this fellah seemed to have that part figured out: Bike to the train station, and take the bike on the train. That part seems straight-forward. The train stations were near-enough to where they wanted to

Perfect. We'll just build the cars with parts that seldom fail. And we'll make them very strong, so that the only risk from hitting a deer or even a cow is a splash of gore. That should help eliminate the need to turn. A loud ho

The remaining dregs of Amtrak are the result of the nationalization of the failing private passenger lines in the US. We used to have passenger rail. Even the desolate nowhere of semi-rural Ohio was well-served. Street cars to get around

We've been using Nyquist's work and anti-aliasing filters for nearly as long as we've been using digital audio at all. Your DAW (or whatever) may be able to show you the stairsteps of individual samples on a screen, but with

That's not quite accurate, I don't think. I've definitely used STA and AP modes concurrently on my Windows laptop with the operating system's built-in internet connection sharing function to help troubleshoot a problem i

Indeed. I haven't ever heard any complaints about any Hakko irons, except for cost. I'm a huge fan of the (now kind of old) version 1 Pinecil irons I have. If someone put me at a bench to work on a project, I'd be very happy

When the production produces unwanted ultrasonic noise, then that's not a sampling rate problem. It is instead a production problem. And that's perfectly OK, too: The neat part about having too much data is that other end-user

A sampling rate of 192kHz is overkill. And 192KHz exists as a sample rate in audio world because it is overkill. With a Nyquist frequency of ~96KHz, all of the arguments about whether a person can hear up to eg 22.05KHz, 24KHz, or if there

A Behringer UMC1820 does that combination of things (cheap, lots of analog IO, PC interface) very well. It provides 8 inputs OOTB. For more inputs, a Behringer ADA8200 can be connected with a garden-variety TOSLINK cable, bringing the tota

Perhaps. This has an advantage that the board itself is printed. After molding and firing (say) 50 of them, those that survive will all look and work about the same. Painting the conductive traces into the printed pathways is an easy thing
