Have you ever considered the possibility that some day normal consumer won't be able to afford a computer anymore?With GPU and RAM price increases, this nightmare scenario seems likely.Wireless Internet connections might also get so full of traffic that one day fast Internet will be a luxury as well.1. Give people cheap tech so they get dependent on it.2. When they're addicted, start ramping up the price + scarcity3. WinMe? I'm already learning ways to survive without technology. In a few years you might have to live without tech.

>>107748110Out of curiosity have you ever developed on your phone?
>>107748209NTA but I have started using mine for content creation. I only use my PC now for capturing the actual walkthroughs. The script, the thumbs, the infographics, even the editing is done on my phone now. Since my shit doesn't need a bunch of bullshit add-ons like overlays, fades, etc .. I can edit an entire 10 minute video in VN and export it in 1440p. All without having to leave the couch or bed. I love my PC but other than gaming and shooting my walkthroughs, I don't need for anything that I can do on my Sammy Flagship.

Man, the actuation of the heads on the new HDDs I installed is so strong that if I place my hand on the case it almost feels like something is knocking on the thing. They're not particularly loud or anything, but I've never seen something like this happen lmaoI wonder if it's some resonance thing or something like that. The HDDs are mounted via rubber grommets so they should be fairly decently isolated, though they're only held in with 2 screws instead of 4 because the 2nd pair of holes on the drives don't align with the trays.
>>107747300What case do you have? Changing from an old thermaltake case to a fractal silenced my drives. The old one was acting as an amplifier for the things.
>>107745292thousands of albums in a single dir. tag them with MusicBrainz Picard. listen via Navidrome.Used to be mega autistic about organizing everything perfectly, and then reorganizing due to exceptions requiring a new schema. Can't be bothered anymore.
>>107747300Lots of my old HDDs give plenty of thumpsThe newer ones seem pretty tame.I can only guess the heads doesn't need to move as much on the newer ones because even moving just a little bit is traversing terabytes of data
>>107747641It's a Nanoxia Deep Silence 5 IIRC. Basically looks like a Fractal clone. It's not bad quality actually, the HDDs mount to trays via rubber grommets so there's no metal-on-metal contact at all. The sides and top of the case also have sound dampening.There's hardly any "normal" drive activity noise to be heard, like the typical crunchy / scratchy /clicky sort of sound of a drive seeking, but if I put my hand on the case I feel a thumping in time with drive activity. If I listen carefully I can also hear a subtle thumping noise, but way down in the bass area, nothing like what I'd usually associate with any HDD.>>107748022These are pretty new drives actually, I have 16TB Toshiba MG08s (from like 3 years ago) and MG09s that I just got recently. Maybe it's because my old drives were 5400RPM and all these newer ones are 7200RPM or something? Maybe the head actuation is more aggressive too or something, or maybe they have more platters and heads inside, thus more mass is being moved.

>>107747023idk about sounds better, it's lacking a lot in comparison in terms of effects and osc types (probably a big update ahead, I got a survey email about what we want), but it is faster for some things I like the LFO switcher and the fact all the LFOs are set up differently from the get go, some sync'd some not, exciters, random ectand I like the separate performers, though drawing everything is slow, I wish we had a hugely expanded drag-and-drop shape menu built off the one in Massiveoh, and one more thingBRING BACK THE FUCKING LIGHT THEME YOU FUCKING GERMAN FAGGOTSWHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO REMOVE A THEME YOU ALREADY ADDED THAT PEOPLE LIKED, IT DOESN'T HURT ANYBODY, IT'S ALREADY THERE, IT'S FUCKING OPTIONAL, BRING IT THE FUCK BACKKKKKK
>>107742290how do you even know what to change at this point?imagine you have a good sound going and then your niece goes in and fiddles with something
the classic trance tracks are special not just because of the composition or marketing. the hardware is contributing a lot to the sound. you could grind for years making numerous tracks with JE8086 and other VSTs and you wouldn't make worldwide hits like those teenagers did with relative ease all those years ago. this should be common sense and most normal people can tell if a professionally produced track sounds especially great and if an amateurishly produced track sounds meh or offensively bad. fucking retards.
