I had to update my BIOS a while ago and it set TPM back to disabled as default. Voila. No Windows 11 prompts because, as far as it can tell, I do not meet the requirements.

There are actually speedruns of Brothers, so someone is replaying it.

Tyranny is so good, and I prefer it to the first Pillars of Eternity. Shame the ending is so abrupt.

I love Steins Gate, but the choices you make are so wildly disconnected from the consequences that I don’t think it really counts. It’s such a strange system.

Meta isn’t heavily influenced by a government adversarial to that of the US, so the risks to US security are not the same.
The mental health risk looks pretty similar, though.

Depends on the kinds of accounts you follow. Mastodon is all technical users - so not many celebrities who aren’t in technical fields.

I gave it a shot because Bioware, but I didn’t stick with it because dialog choices are timed. I can see why, I think, but I was being picky and put it down for the moment.

Honest question: Assuming nation states have the all-powerful ability to install software on your networking gear, which country would you rather have? USA or Russia?

What Improvements Would You Like To See In Free/Libre, Open Source Music Software?

Hey guys, forgive me if I’m posting in the wrong place, but I have a talent for understanding audio very well. I just finished implementing a sequencer and a synthesizer in C, just for fun. Now that I’m done, I feel pretty good about this project, and I feel like there’s no reason not to keep going, but I don’t know what...

I love the spectral view in Adobe Audition and would be happy to leave it if Audacity (or whichever fork people like) would implement something similar.

Awesome! … What’s a CI?
(I started reading the link but it doesn’t introduce the term.)

You should install Linux.

I’ve settled on water stones, at least for the moment: 1000, 4000, and 8000 grit. I use a Veritas Mk. 2 sharpening jig. I also have a slow-speed grinder for major reshaping.
I true the stones on a cinder block, but I don’t have to do it very often.
I suggest you take a look at Christopher Schwarz’s ‘Sharpen This’ series from his blog:

They should parse it the same way as “postgresql”.

Where do you stand on AI in music production?

A conversation popped up on another platform about the role of AI in music production, generally as its used in the mastering process. Now I’m not sure how much AI that actually involves and see it more as a set of rules that will map your song or music to a contemporary ‘good mix’… basically control the EQ, RMS peak and...

I figured you’d be concerned about music generating AI.
Personally, I’m all for it. In the early days of image generation AI you’d see lots of wild abstract outputs from the intermediate layers/processes. If we can get music to sound like that I think it would be amazing.
The thing about algorithmically generated art is that it’s basically a faucet - turn it on and get as much as you want. So there’s a danger of oversaturation, but that’s basically the case in a lot of genres of human-generated music already. It makes valuing art tricky.

Unfortunately I haven’t found any AI-generated music that seems interesting.

Capitalism is bad and they should install Linux.

I tried moving mine over to Linux and it broke streaming from devices to Kodi.
Now, I’m sure I could spend a day banging my head against google and mucking with my Docker containers to get it working, but I decided it’s not really worth the effort.
If you need a project, I’d go ahead and set up the server with a small library and see if all the features that are important to you are working. Then give it the full library.
But in general, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I’ve been shopping for the same thing. I can report that Intel N100-based computers currently (February 2024) have issues with Linux WiFi drivers. Not a problem if you’re hardwiring it.
I’d also avoid the really tiny PCs because they use the shortest M.2 drives (2242), which limits capacity and upgradeability. You want one that fits a 2280 M.2 drive. Or a 2.5" SATA drive.

Question of recommended home camera system

A friends mother that I used to rent a room from asked me to help her set up an outside home security system with motion sensors so she could watch the neighborhood cats cat around in her yard. I thought I’d screenshotted a previous Lemmy thread that had a perfect recommendation, nope. Can’t find it....

I choose a Reolink camera. It works well with Surveillance Station on my Synology NAS, Home Assistant, the official Android client, and the official Mac client. I’ve never been able to get the official Windows client to work. It’s failed to work on two different computers.
The camera runs off Power Over Ethernet, so it’s just a single CAT6 cable and there are no batteries to manage.
The camera bounces your requests to stream through Reolink’s servers by default, but you can disable that feature if you’re only using the cameras locally.

Does anyone here know how money transfers like this actually work? Stacks of $100s? Armored carriages full of doubloons? Briefcases exchanged at the train station?

Now if only someone over there would order their plain logo shirts in common sizes I’d give them $15.
