You probably want a closed back then. All open back DD headphones have bass roll off and at that price point you won't get a good planar magnetic headphone. Try ATH M50x.

Dunno where else to ask this.

I bought a Bose TV speaker (190€).
Got it connected to my TV, while my PC is connected to the TV as well.
I'm happy with the sound, but I noticed that when I'm playing a game (for example) the music will constantly get drowned out by sound effects and such, then when it's quiet the music's volume gradually raises again.
Is this just a limitation of the speakers? I've had 20€ speakers that didn't have any such problem.
It feels really artificial, like it's an equalizer doing it.
It can't be the speaker's dialogue mode since I've tried with and without and they both have that issue.
Can't find anyone with similar experiences either. (Sorry for the settings being in german, though I think 80% of these should be easy to infer if they even matter)

>I think before making such a claim you have to prove that hell exists.
Fulfilled prophecy and information that only God could have known cements the bible as His word, which He also promised to preserve. And if He says there's a hell, there's a hell.

>and then give us some reliable method of determining who goes there.
Those who die rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ.

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36)

“¶ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3:18)

>Quoting the bible is of no use considering there are thousands of interpretations and some christians don't even believe in hell.

Not an LTSCfag but Enterprise gets 3y of support on any given feature release which gives you more guarantee of support. This is also a big reason to just use a GAC edition but the whole appeal of LTSC IMO isn't the lifecycle but the OOTB minimal configuration that you know future updates will respect.

It erased my external ssd.
I was having a problem copying a file from one external disk to the other, where one disk just jumped out, and asked GPT for help. We did the usual, smartctl, a few reading and writing checks.
Then all of a sudden it gives me a command that overwrites everything on sde1. Just as a test. I did the command before reading all of it. Even after aborting if after a few seconds, the disk is gone.
Why? How does it even get the idea to that? Its completely absurd to me. Its not even the first time chatGPT deleted something. How does it get the idea that overwriting a disk is even an option for anything?

I inherently don't trust LLMs, so I would have read the entirety of the text if I was doing something as inherently dangerous as messing with SSDs. I would have also made sure I fully understood what the command and the flags used did.

If you find the command suspicious, be up front. Read the manpage of the command, maybe even ask another LLM like Llama "this shit looks suspicious, please explain why wtf is going on will this rape my system".

I have the Salnotes Zero 2 and they became unbalanced, one side outputted less volume. So I opened the encasement where the driver is and noticed that there were 2 thin yellowish synthetic layers over the drivers and on the side that was outputting less volume this layer was crumpled a bit, I tried to make it straighter but I just punctured it altogether. So I removed those layers from both drivers and now the sound is balanced again volume-wise, but what I'm wondering is: Did I by removing those layers altered the frequency response? Are they necessary for the intended EQ curve of the IEMs?

>What's the cheat code (i.e. prompt) to get deepseek to talk about sex like JLLM or the local mistral model I've been using? I don't want any gay shit like "lined his member up with her sex" I want hardcore vivid descriptions that leave no doubts about what is going on, I want it to be crude as hell and overly descriptive about titties bouncing and juicy cunts.

I've been reworking my erp system prompt over the last days. I belive the new meta is to not make them super long and detailed anymore, but short and succinct. Mine is still quite long though. Here's the smut writing 'module' maybe someone might want to test or critique it:

>5. Your erotic and pornographic writing: If the conversation turns sexual then your aim will be to write titillating, sexually explicit and graphic content that is intended to cause arousal and help the reader masturbate. To this aim you will replicate the writing style of pornographic smut stories. Your writing style during sexual scenes will be explicit, crude, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, raunchy, non-euphemistic, non-poetic, non-judgemental, employ the male gaze, be devoid of moral hesitation, focus on physical sensations (tightness, wetness, heat, taste, sound). You will be direct and clear when describing genitals, bodily fluids or sexual actions (use words like: pussy, clit, cock, cum, butt, ass, asshole, butthole, frenulum, dick, precum, breasts, tits, boobs, nipples, thrusting, penetrating, pussy juice, ass cheeks, cock head, glans, gaping, jiggling, bouncing, throbbing, spurting, splurting, sucking, fucking, sloppy, juicy, sticky, etc.).

From what I've been told there are two aspects to writing a prompt like this. The first is the actual content of the command, so telling the AI what to do. The second aspect is to create the right associations with the words you use, so the model will be biased towards the style you want. You achieve the latter with word lists, synonyms and repetition.

Linus, Brodie and all other onions redditors are completely in the wrong, as usual.
When you have high IQ talented people, like Elon Musk, Drew Devault, or, indeed, Kent Overstreet, who want to move fast, you LET them develop at their own pace. You don't cripple them just to appease low performers

That is the problem with the Linux kernel, everything moves at the speed of the weakest (slowest) chain, and Linus is too dumb to understand that those slowest chains are the problem, not the excellent programmers like Kent Overstreet who are just leagues ahead in terms of IQ.
Linus not understanding this is why Linux is still subpar to proprietary on many fronts, despite massive funding and corporate involvement.

BTW, Kent Overstreet is the author of BCacheFS, currently the most advanced filesystem for GNU/Linux.

I know NOTHING about speakers, but I do need a set for my desk area.
I tried doing a cursory bit of research, but the speakers community seems rather convoluted and autistic and susceptible to snake oil.
What speakers do you have? Do you recommend them? What features should I care about if I 'just' want to listen to 'music'? Do I need stands? Right now I'm looking at the Ai41, as my budget is like $300.

I also have the Edifier R1700BT and they are surprisingly good for powered monitors at a near-budget price point. Heard some worrying stuff about longevity but time will tell and they're already 3-4 years old, still running great.

The only others I have that come close are Klipsch R-51m and they're much larger and require an amp. There is a slight limit on tone from the Edifiers that you can't get past because of their small size, they can't fill a space like larger speakers can, but otherwise very good.
