Yeah that was a very interesting thing to learn. When my room was being tuned (after being built to a specification for acoustics) the acoustician then actually tuned in several switchable curves because it was so flat in response he wanted

Speakers often use materials that degrade over time unfortunately. For example electronics in the crossover, foam, glue, and depending on the environment paper.

Except from what I remember Bose audio stuff is measurable bad by any standards (its been a while since I even took note). Their noise cancelling was good in the past though. My personal experience of Bose PA and HiFi equipment is that is b

Alpine used to leave performance on the table by default. Something to do with the compiler having a lot of safe options and not using some CPU extensions at the time. Don’t know whether it is the case anymore, but it’s something I proved i

In Stockholm there is one taxi company that has always been better called “Taxi Stockholm”, quality cars with great experienced drivers and good service. It was a premium though. They have a good app as well. Getting in anything else is var

Took down my Pioneer Kuro a couple of weeks ago. OLED is so good now. Agree with the in store crap and all the processing that’s turned on for the TVs on display. But brightness is useful - can help combat ambient light, and HDR can look am

There are a couple of models with good sound. I got a Philips OLED910 a short while ago and that sound system surprised me. I turned it off though and use an external Atmos receiver and speakers.

It really depends on the situation and the car. I’ve had it really help and not take over too much (very modern Porsche in the mountains), and systems where it was actively making the situation much worse by alternately locking the brakes o

No, it doesn’t in the way you are intending. I run various utilities on them, but nothing that ever shows up in the interface/TV I just think of them as the best solution to run Kodi for media that is on my network.

It’s been terrible for years/forever. Even Xserves didn’t really meet the needs of a professional data centre. And it’s got worse as a server OS because it’s not a core focus. Don’t understand why anyone tries to bother - apart from th

I disagree with your take on that we should show all information to all users. It’s not always the case that they have someone on hand to help, and users do get anxiety when they do not understand or are presented with too many options. But

A particular part of Britain as well. I have never used “I’ve” in that way ( I speak more RP than with an accent)

I don’t think that is the problem (as someone that has been described in that bracket), it’s the tooling and control that is missing. I believe that will be solved over time.

I believe there is room left, particularly as some users would still be preferring to use Freehand after all this time, but Figma is strong in this space now.

I used Quark XPress, and it really felt like it had a monopoly on the professional market in the UK at the time. It didn't really innovate, it was slow and clunky. Then InDesign came along and it was a breath of fresh air. Took many ye

This is why I am negative on them. Apart from point 1, which I didn't really care about at the time. And SDCards. Who kept making that decision?

Yeah it’s an utter mess of font sizes, inconsistent rules on placement and spacing. Actually annoys me significantly.

by timc3 1y ago
Totally agree. To my design eye its so inconsistent that I can’t believe a professional designer has been involved.

The 395 although it can be supplied with 128GB can’t use all that for VRAM (unless something has changed in the last couple of weeks).

You don't, depending on your audio hardware. If it has a loopback you can just use sox from the command line to record the loop back channels...

SGI with its screen here, just like in Jurassic park. There was a Sun on the desk over with lots of SCSI stuff in a nice cabinet.

I use Authelia backed by lldap. Really like it so far

Because its using a Strix Halo APU which to some is kinda interesting, and to others all they need for sometime.

The encryption is interesting but I wouldn’t call this over engineered at all, in fact it’s rather basic compared to a lot of homelabs I see people building particularly where people are doing K8s or similar over multiple machines. Also Pro

Lots. BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, Volkswagen, Volvo for example. I find it a pity that Lexus uses CVTs as I would probably sell my BMW 330e and get a Lexus.

Don't see any mention of an API.

They make applicants list the accounts and then check them.

I would run 2 or more parity disks always. I have had disks fail and rebuilding with only one parity drive is scary (have seen rebuilds go bad because a second drive failed whilst rebuilding). But agree about backups.

Yeah I’ve been wondering what to do if I ever sell. Unlike some others in this thread, the 350 devices I have don’t require too much maintenance (have to replace the odd light bulb, and I do some upgrades once a week), and work flawlessly m

I disagree. I have what essentially is a mastering suite (i just don't do mastering very often) at home and the difference in quality between the majority of modern music and the majority of older music say 25 years and older is large.
