that's probably a fault of the tape player circuitry; digital signals work better without filtering, unlike audio signals
or maybe the tape is degrading, which does happen with cheap tapes and nobody was thinking about how to keep things working 40 years later

You know what grinds my gears? You can't make a proper PCI card without applying to the PCI Consortium for their specs, it's some kind of packetized garbage. In the 8- and 16-bit era, and even into the 32-bit era, you could rig up an expansion card easily because you simply talk to the bus when it's your turn on that channel or whatever the particulars are.

Modern computing is so gay that NOBODY can just make a PCI-e card without special permissions and a tip and Thank Yew.

The raw syscall requires specifying a restorer on x86-64 but not on Aarch64. The man page doesn't say that

the "buy old good thing used" argument never made any sense for consumer electronics even way back in the day. in fact in a first world country it basically never makes sense except for cars and houses, and even then only because of the sheer magnitude of the expense. old flagship might not even have av1 hardware decoding. this definitely will.

buying last gen often makes sense because many products have a release model where they make a new version every year even if tech hasnt advanced and there's no meaningful improvement. there are often years in phones where 2 consecutive year's models have the same tech with some tiny improvement that doesnt nearly justify the price difference.

usually however buying the latest thing in a market where tech is actually moving forward is the best choice.

last two gens are fine, but asking people to buy 4-5yold phones are not it, in any point at anytime

I was like you when I get myself a S10e & S23, thinking I would appreciate the wireless charging and DeX stuff but turns out I barely use them.
Then got me thinking I could've spent that money on PC or smth better than a phone that depreciate every 2-3year.

>>107887391
ill admit i use dex less then when i first started especially since many apps have desktop versions (whatsapp for example) and there's kdeconnect so i can access the files on the phone via wifi but i use wireless charging all the time . its a massive improvement in ergonomics when you can just pop your phone on a magnetic charger one handed without even looking at it vs having to pick up a cable and stick it in.

4-5 yearold stuff is fine in some things like ereaders but in phones/pcs things improved too much over this time

you can, and should use both.
I sync up my changes with github.
the only tool on linux that windows lacks is valgrind helgrind/drd which are thread sanitizers (but they don't work with atomics, you can use mutexes locklessly technically by just not locking the mutex).
valgrind memcheck checks for uninitialized memory access (address sanitizer won't catch uninialized memory access) but drmemory on windows does the same thing (with pretty much the same number of false positives) as valgrind memcheck.
But memory sanitizer (linux only) does the same job (I think? might be missing stuff) but it should be a lot faster than valgrind/drmemory but it won't work with GUI applications (because all your libraries must be compiled with memory sanitizer, I believe, but I have not attempted using it).
GUI applications on linux (and windows) will have false positive leaks (not just from nvidia, also for some font libraries that QT loads), it's kind of annoying that linux address sanitizer checks for leaks with no way to disable it with compiler flags, you need to set ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 (can be set internally with a function) or you have a suppression file which still shows a report even if all leaks are suppressed.

Most private tracker users often have several accounts on several trackers. Its not uncommon for someone to be on PTP, BTN, GGn, and AB. The thing is that mostly only really care about one.
Someone into anime obviously will benefit from AB, but they may have gone through PTP, RED, etc to get there. The gamed trackers are just upkeep for reputation.
Should they encourage more "genuine" content consumption? Sure, but they the entire system collapses, along with seeders keep things alive to enjoy other trackers.

I'll rant a bit more about this because I feel like it. For me the purpose of building an archive is to compile the best of what was available at the time it was acquired. Sound quality is a subjective thing in addition to bit depths, bitrates, sample rates, codecs, etc. You can say all that shit doesn't matter and you can't tell the difference but if what goes in is garbage what comes out is garbage. If it was mastered in a way that sounds too loud, shrill, uncomfortable to listen to, or weak, dull and lifeless it won't matter what format was used. I gave this example before and I'll give it again:

https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/lindas-favorite-digital-versions-of-all-black-sabbath-albums.905049/

In the case of Black Sabbath's Paranoid the only truly good digital version has a version of Iron Man taken from a damaged tape. So when I downloaded all the Black Sabbath albums I made a decision to get the best vinyl rip of it instead. It's not some durrr audiofool vinyl always sounds better nonsense. It's a pragmatic decision based on what's available. I know it sounds good and the tape wasn't fucked up when they made the original pressing so it makes sense. It doesn't matter if I convert it to mp3 or opus or what the fuck else. What's going into the encoder is good so what comes out is good. I don't always get to choose which version of an album I get from a streaming service and even if I do the choices will be more limited.

Another thing I want to add. I'd be really surprised if you couldn't find a good sounding digital version of Iron Man somewhere. It's an iconic song so it's probably on a million compilations. At some point someone competent probably had their hands on a tape that was in good shape and did the right thing with it. But imagine trying to stick that into a random 80s CD where everything else came from a different tape and was mastered differently. It would sound kinda jarring when you transitioned between tracks. It's still important to have the whole album in a cohesive form if that's what you want to listen to and I think vinyl is the best option in this case.

Depends on what you're trying to make. There's online charts that rank based on "accuracy" and "efficiency". You're just probably best off trying the newest of the big models between OpenAI, Google, MS, and MJ. That means Google's Nano Banana Pro, atm.

Don't get too attached, though. Results can be so varied that definitive rankings are useless, imo. Some models can handle multiple complex prompts within the same gen. Some can recreate art styles better than others. Some can understand negative prompts. Some are intensely user-unfriendly but when mastered produce high-quality results, and some are normie-tier accessible. Throw in censorship/copyright restrictions changing weekly, model decay, poisoned training sources, etc... nothing is stable.

That would be a blessing and a much needed cure for my YT addiction.

I don't use adblockers, I just block the ads. Advertisements will have to find a way around my filters and then I'll let them know that I'm not going to click their shit.
If they start paying you for your time on top of all this then we might even get some good stuff back out there again.

I don't give a fuck if the corporations involved are mad.Because it would be retarded and nobody would care?

Why isn't Ad Nauseum more popular?

>>107884752
Because it would catastrophically fuck up the gorillion terabytes of CDN caches they use to have videos load at any reasonable speed. Even twitch only embeds ads for livestreams, ublock works perfectly fine for vods. Think about why that is

>>107885227
Because it's retarded and doesn't work. Giving them fake clicks just makes them think the ads are working, and that they need to buy more. Google and others are not going to tell them they are fake, and the sites the ads are on aren't going to either.

Managers who basically enforce goals but don't contribute, or worse, actively hinder contributions, towards those goals getting achieved. Managers who basically just ask questions about if things are done, when they'll be done, or what the blocker is. But at the same time they don't care to steer technical direction, merely pretend to give a damn about how things get designed or built, focusing on the wrong details, and not having the judgment to say no or ask questions before approving decisions that will bite us in the ass later (tech debt, designs that won't scale in the long run, one-off projects to solve the hot topic of the day rather than being part of a long term strategy, often because they don't really have one). They'll hear about a dozen unrelated or semi-related problems or needs from various business leaders and just start relaying it to you in stream of consciousness fashion in a meeting and then go "so, :clap: what are we (you) going to do about it?" And then you're on the hook to do your best to cook something up and 6 months later come performance review time they'll say it wasn't what they had in mind even though they were fully aware of what was being built that whole time.

These leeches are basically cheerleaders, or administrative assistants, but think they're a coach. They're there as a sort of pawn for the management hierarchy above you and don't take any ownership. Mine just left my team a few weeks ago to go be a leech in a different part of the company. Good riddance fucking worthless fuck
