Biodegraded

I like it when stuff comes already dust loaded: saves me several years.

Looks like the ad is gone already. What did we miss?

@Armaegis a whole bunch of random speakers & speaker drivers. And dust.

Yeah, would've been helpful if the band(s) they were in had been listed beside their name.

Yes, band names would have been nice.

Correction: Stevie Nicks turned 76 today.

Or when there are too many devices connected to your network?

As (ex-)audiophiles go, I count myself as fairly objective, and yes, I absolutely believe that, unless something changes them, bits are bits. But, right from the off, it seemed absurd to claim that this makes all dacs sound the same. Let's take the blindingly-bloody-obvious: the second letter, dAc. Didn't those idiots ever notice that they have analogue circuitry and output? That's only what the things are *for!*

This dude has talent. Not just trolling SBAF/ASR but he's gone with the hat-trick with Head-Fi as well. This guy has covered the entire multi-verse of trying to find the exact combination to defeat Thanos and find auditory bliss.

Vali3 does seem pretty good.

I'll be interested to read (3 years from now) in some tech journal why getting lossless on Spotify was such a difficult task.

Like I have said the Spotify audience at large could care less about lossless. It is just our minute sliver of the market that gives a crap.

That's a socially acceptable way to be a cheap date :)

Only here.

What's that thing where people wave around a bunch of burning sage? Supposedly originating in native-American lore, I think.

Flossing --- or something like that.

Anyway... Sage Against The Machine... Love it :D

Golden Hair live is face melting...

I love this. SOAD too! Never could afford festival tickets though. Let alone international travel.

Definitely an interesting choice. Not what I would expect either, but they are still a great band. Slipknot and SOAD though...just wow. That is going to be a pretty great festival.

My momma always told me...:)

I knew going out to salsa dance nightclubs was good for my health

Sounds good! Maybe not so good for those with epilepsy?

oh, Ritchie...

Shame the photo's a fake - the band could've been called Blabba :)

Child in Time holds up

... go to Allow List, add youtube.com, and allow ads/trackers. Supposedly they'll fix in the next release: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/malwarebytes-browser-guar/ihcjicgdanjaechkgeegckofjjedodee

Sounds like a conspiracy - allow ads/trackers to stop annoying video from playing ;)

122.0.6261.58 on Win 11 Home, no issues. Using Adblock Plus and NoScript, but I mostly allow this site.

Update: the problem is Google's fight with ad blockers, in this case uBlock Origin. Turning off uBO for SBAF solved the problem. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1avvoii/chrome_autoplays_every_embedded_youtube_video_on/?rdt=56358

Update 2: It's the Malbytes Browser Guard extension. Allowing everything for SBAF doesn't solve the problem for me, I have to completely disable it.

All right, let keep the politics in Marv’s thread. But if you should wonder what I make of the conduct of American government during my entire adulthood, I am frequently reminded of a quote from le Carré’s “A Small Town in Germany” (1968): “The opposite of love isn’t hate; it’s apathy.” I could almost swear that Nietzsche wrote something similar—but try finding anything in his oeuvre.

@Claritas , this one? "We must learn to love, learn to be kind, and this from our earliest youth ... Likewise, hatred must be learned and nurtured, if one wishes to become a proficient hater"

That one’s from one of his little-read transitional books. It’s Nietzschean, but it’s not his mature teaching. The le Carré quote has some parallels with something an acquaintance (formerly, a corporate lawyer) told me last year: “No matter how low your expectations of other people are—go lower.” That’s what I think of the government in Washington. They’re unworthy of my attention.

Honestly kind of hype. I miss my LG phones, dongle life blows.

going wireless whenever I'm out and about was such a huge quality of life improvement for me

Most likely phone will not work with most US Cell Bands. A lot of these specialty phone products from China have this issue and mostly won't have Play Store

Darn, he has me convinced :)

I do not disagree, yet I like Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot and the Night Chicago died by Paper Lace (hey I was 7 yo) ABBA’s Waterloo doesn’t redeem 74, but maybe this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x-G28iyPtz0

Sometimes the top of the pop type charts don't tell the whole story. Look at the albums from '74, Court and Spark, Pretzel Logic, Diamond Dogs, Eldorado,Crime of the Century etc.
