Yes, people will invariably have the motivation and drive to create. We didn't stop playing chess when Deep Blue beat Kasparov. We don't stop swimming because boats are faster. We don't stop running, even though we can't

I'm with you. It was brown, and if I remember right, in the light the edges had a sort of greenish tint to them? I thought it looked so cool, hadn't seen anything like it before.

I mean, if it's possible to configure and there is at all a reason for someone to configure it as such, then it makes the most sense to treat it as a very valid possibility, right?

> The average consumer is basically a vacuum cleaner. Yeah, this has been the hardest pill to swallow, as a creative and person that enjoys art. They know it's all least-common-denominator bullshit and they like it anyway. A lot of

I mean, I could take an amplifier, my speakers and my turntable all with a big battery station anywhere I want to play records. Less convenient, sure, but "I can take it with me!" is not the win you expect here, haha.

If only; you can definitely get "audiophile network switches" which provide a cleaner sound when you pull your music from Roon over them, or something. Audiophiles are the easiest marks on earth, man.

> Samplers and grooveboxes absolutely play music by themselves. I disagree. You cannot take your Akai MPC out of the box and ask it to play music. You have to load samples, you have to arrange them and you have to instruct it to play.

Autologin is trivial to set up on most operating systems. There are solutions for using CEC to control your television as well. I'm not a programmer, but I was able to set this up with minimal issue. If you don't want to have to s

This reads like a kneejerk reaction to the title, which I understand. I think it's deliberately written that way to draw you in, but I get how it could be upsetting. Her point isn't that "fitness is white supremacy," and

I don't turn them off entirely, I kind of enjoy the feeling of momentum animated elements can provide, but I definitely do go in and speed them up massively. I find that when a phone is feeling unresponsive or sluggish, it's usual

I purchased an iPhone 15 a few months ago and ended up making this discovery myself. CarPlay would refuse to launch unless I enabled Siri. I didn't do any of the Siri setup, or anything but the app would hard refuse to launch unless I

It seems to me that anyone going out of their way to compare current prices against prices from five or more years ago to adjust for inflation is not the average consumer, and shouldn't be juxtaposed as such.

This is a really interesting thing to think about. English is my mother tongue, and I'd never really considered this, it's always just been part of the language. If I ask my partner to turn the volume "up," I am asking t

Ah, okay, that makes your original comment make more sense. Thank you for the clarification.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make here. If you don't understand, you aren't smart enough to and shouldn't try? If you learn slow, just stop because you're... slower? What are you talking about?

I am so sorry to piggyback on someone else's comment for this, but this thread has piqued my interest in what I can do to de-smart my 2021 Kia Forte LXS. Any chance you can get the service manual for it? I appreciate it, even if you ca

It was a big enough deal that Nintendo put out advertisements in 1990 [0], asking people to not use "a Nintendo" to refer generically to other video game systems, specifically out of fear of genericization. [0] https://

I believe they meant "why people are so up in arms about the developer being so strict about enforcing their trademark," not "why are people upset that the port author is being deceptive."

No. Monitors are small, and suited for one person working close up. I am looking for a television without the "computer" inside of it. Yes, of course, it needs to have a computer to decode and display images, but I don't want

Watts in TDP are not the same as watts in electricity, although they're both measures of energy. TDP is a thermal measurement, it's how much heat energy your heatsink and fan need to be able to dissipate to keep the unit within op

No good reason to do this, but I would imagine you could set up a site-to-site VPN with Wireguard (or hell, Tailscale) from your phone to a VPS, and have people hit the public server which routes back over your tunnel to your phone for acce

I mean, yeah, sure if you view having to go to the store as a negative, then you would prefer to order online and have it brought to you. After years (my whole adolescent and adult life, more or less) of online shopping, I find that it&#x27
