Pro audio gear usually has XLR connectors for all balanced analog audio. Older radio and TV studios are full of XLR and shielded audio cable

Pin 1 - earth
Pin2 - in phase
Pin3 - out phase

Those pinouts are standard everywhere

Oh, really? I’m so sorry that a massive, multi-decade engineering feat like the .NET Framework isn't "complete" enough for your obviously superior, high-level needs. I guess thousands of engineers at Microsoft have just been sitting around playing Minesweeper since 2002 while you’ve been out here bravely fighting the "wrong" documentation.
Actually, you’re completely wrong, because if .NET were "incomplete," then why is the .exe file called an "executable"? It executes things, doesn't it? If it can execute, it’s finished. Case closed. Plus, have you even considered that Win32 is old? Why would you want to use something old when you can use something newer? New is always better, even if it doesn't do the specific thing you want it to do. That’s just basic logic.
And "woefully incomplete"? Please. I managed to write a Console app that says "Hello World" in like three lines of code without a single P/Invoke. If it can do that, it can clearly do anything. Maybe the reason the standard library is "wrong" is because you're just looking at it wrong? Did you ever think of that? Maybe you're the one who’s "woefully incomplete."
But sure, go ahead. Waste your life typing out
 [DllImport("user32.dll")] 
for the five-thousandth time like it’s 1995. I hope you enjoy your memory leaks and your "precision." Some of us prefer to live in 2025, where we don't care if the code actually works as long as the syntax highlighting looks pretty.

>Microsoft plans to rewrite 100% of their code base in Rust using AI
That has been officially claimed false.
Their "1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code" target is just part of a research project they are working on. The goal is to build technology that *could* facilitate such a massive migration, not to execute it immediately on Windows.
Microsoft is already "all-in" on Rust for new security-critical projects. In 2025, developers have already noted Rust code appearing in the Windows kernel (e.g., win32kbase_rs.sys) and Azure components like Hyper-V.

Quite frankly this whole thread is based on the wrong premise that Linux user space keeps breaking the ABI. This is not true at all: most libraries including glibc, OpenGL, X11, care a lot about binary backward compatibility nowadays.

>>
>>107681143
I don't think that assembling the PC for 40 minutes vs 30 matters that much. You do it ones in a few years. Air circulation is pretty much the same in good cases. Cost and compatibility are still an issue. But it's only because 'standart' PC is a giant box.
>>
>>107681162
It's not about how much time it takes. There's cable routing, the order of assembly which instructions can lack (often because it varies depending on your parts), and fitting your hands into cramped spaces. There's a huge difference between a case with positive pressure and pure exhaust, as well as the actual airflow pattern, recirculation, acoustics, etc. Unless you're talking about standard layout mATX cases in which case it's also just a giant box, only PSU placement differs, although that can still make a big difference.

A few of you may have discovered today that thumbnails suddenly stopped loading in Firefox. I did.
Checking the browser console, I found errors for each thumbnail in the catalog which said "A resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking, please check browser console for details."
After disabling browser.opaqueResponseBlocking in about:config, those error messages turned into 403's and the images would still not load.
I did a desuarchive search for Firefox and found a post in /trash/ saying "I figured it out. 4chan is now asking for referrers when requesting images from 4cdn... TL:DR; 4chan wants to know where you were before loading an image." along with a screenshot of all about:config settings with the word "referer" in them.
With the help of that screenshot, I pinpointed the issue to network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy in about:config, which I had set to 2 for whatever reason, I don't know. Setting it to 0 fixed the problem.
Most of you on Firefox probably won't experience this since 0 is the default setting.
So, for those of you also experiencing this issue, there's the fix, and now the fix is on desuarchive for others to find.
Feel free to discuss the technological/privacy ramifications of this change by 4chan, or if the /trash/ poster's analysis is correct.

a terabyte is (almost) a trillion bytes (1,099 billion bytes), so i fail to see the problem

They already gigamog the Indian Hindu rape rats by virtue of being Muslim aryans, which gives them at least +20 IQ. Let me share some aryan bronzepills with you:
>In case you forgot, India got btfo by Pakistan again recently, despite Indian Hindus breeding like rats and having 10 times the population (200 million vs 2 billion)
>It's also the Pakistani Muslim aryan warriors who kept these Hindu hordes confined in their shithole for thousands of years, which kept Europe safe from getting swarmed by 2 billion Hindu "gypsies" instead of just a few million...despite Hindus rats always being 20 times as many
>Pakistan built their own nuclear weapons from scratch, while the Indian Hindu rape rats had to beg Russia to give them a nuclear bomb. Even the India space program is literally just Russian hand-me-down tech with an Indian flag slapped on it

In conclusion, Muslim aryan warriors will always prevail over the Hindu rape rat hordes as soon as they remember their warrior spirit. What we need to worry about is white countries that are getting jeeted, because it's hard to imagine that we will ever reach the point where we're finally shipping Indian invaders off to death camps like we did the jews who import them.
