>>106504564>but you'll dealing with Drop thendrop wont even replace the pot on my amplifier, you also want 1.2w if you EQ, 1w schiit just barely supply enough with a -6db (which you can get away with -4 without considering the bass).eq is very good with the aeons compared to senns which need 8-12+ (but the variable impedance does weird shit, you could use 250mW OTLs without headroom problems)
Personally, it’s ribbons from Raal-requisite for me
First for philphoneI pretty much never use these I just listen on studio monitors
>>106508559Are those cable modded AD900s? Or is there a model that comes like that now
>>106508590Not him, but they're Fostex/Denon 50mm biodynas in an ADx00X shell with some slight tuning mods to tame the spicy treble, and whatever other mods you fancy like removable/dual-entry cables.The result is hilarious, you've never heard bass like that from an open-back.
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.

>>106508407that's a lot of money. I feel the diminishing returns aren't worth it?
Why do people think 8k will actually be a thing? Don’t they understand the concept of bandwidth and ppi?
>>106507040Shut the fuck up
>>106506981>people said this about 1080pI'm sure there was one contrarian retard.The difference just from the resolution was immediately obvious up to 1080p-ish, 4k is kind of situational but is in general great on large screen, 8k vs 4k there's basically 0 gained 99.9% of the time. You'd be better off spending the money on literally anything else.>I am looking at an 8k screen as I type this, the improvements are easy to see.Improvements you're noticing probably aren't from the resolution.
>>106506556>Movies are more expensive than everSure, I never said anything about overall production costs, but the camera, recording media, and distribution are much cheaper using digital as are the associated secondary costs for things like editing.It also makes it easier, as I said, to implement CGI... because there are less colors and the resolution is lower than on older film stock.No need to be rude, you didn't even undermine any of my points.>>106506514I don't pretend to be an expert on composition. I know/do the technical stuff and understand cost drivers in that realm. If you're implying it's easier to put a digital camera on a boom and move it around in weird ways for filming--I tried to say that but did a bad job apparently. Smaller, lighter cameras are easier to do all sorts of things that are very expensive and difficult to do with film cameras.
>>106507040NTSC and PAL were always a product of the system of distribution--multiplexed analog cable--which no longer exists. Everything is digital.The other major difference is NTSC/PAL were designed for CRTs which could make lower resolution look much better.
>>106505496>Don’t they understand the concept of bandwidth and ppi?No, they do not.Bigger number better is all the average person cares about.

>>106501683My local Bunnings has an ewaste bin, you can find computers, stereos, etc. in that but you'll have to sacrifice your dignity. Recycling depots often have an ewaste bin as well, but you'll probably get in trouble stealing from them.If your area has hard rubbish collection days, go out on a drive/bicycle with a cargo rack and you might find an old PC someone's dumped, too.Craigslist/marketplace sometimes has free shit too, or near enough - $10 for a working computer is a better deal than $0 for one that doesn't.

>>106507809Nigger the wipe takes 3 seconds. It's not zeroing the whole device dumbass, it zeroes the keystore which is tiny. Good luck interrupting a process which takes 3 seconds in total (and the data is already inaccessible the instant it writes the first zero bit to the keystore, but with every bit zeroed the effort required to recover the decryption key becomes exponentially harder)
>>106507638this seems retarded outside of being used when immediately detainedyou have to assume that feds will snapshot your storage even when encrypted so wiping does fuck allif anything, they could probably charge you for this using some bullshit like "obstructing justice"

but they didand now everything is pre-castrated
>>106508092That wasn't a rogue AI it was a chat bot repeating syntaxes it heard
>>106507999It's too stupid to go rogue in the sense of it turning "evil". The real threat comes from it being stupid and undiscerning combined with brainless Pajeet/Chink coding that could result in a Paperclip Maximiser situation.

Is starlink mobile worth it? Internet service is often unvailable in my city. Also in the road out of my city. And I need to work and communicate with my relatives. Is it always up?
>>106508349My one time using starlink was during a 7-hour international flight, and my impression was extremely positive. Every other satellite internet I had experienced up until then had huge latency and low bandwidth. This felt like a standard home internet line
>>106508349>Is it always up?No, nothing is. Last outage was last monthhttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/18/starlink-outage-spacex-launch-satellites-musk.htmlhttps://www.pcmag.com/news/spacex-traces-starlink-outage-to-network-upgrade
>>106508349Sure. I use starlink works pretty well but not the mobile. During the day I usually get 250mbps and at night right now around 300-400mbps+. I've seen it reach up to 600mbps during non peak hours like 10pm to midnight. IDK how much the mobile costs I pay $120You could probably use calyx 5G hotspot for $40 a month and I used that before when traveling, but its only 30-40mbps rural and 150mbps+ in the city but they never throttle you and don't give a shit about torrenting so thats nice I guess. Check a map to see if you got coverage.My parents pay $80 a month in the midwest for their weimerican internet and they get to have fiber 400mbps in my hometown of 15k people so fiber has advanced in the midwest.American internet is notoriously expensive especially in REALLY rural dirt road type farm places or unincorporated land. On the east coast and west coast, especially in mountainous regions. If you live offgrid or are going in the mountains of utah, idaho or 30 miles down some random highway etc forget it, just get starlink.

Right now I have NetBSD running on it (I wanted OpenBSD but the wi-fi driver is GPL'd and nobody cares 15 years later) but before I was running Void Linux.The main issue I have with it is that I can't post here! Fucking Cloudflare's fucking stupid proof of work turnstile shits itself on anything below, like, 1.5 ghz. (I know because I've had this problem with Arm SBCs too.)
