Digital (hard drive) > CD > Vinyl

lossless digital because it’s searchable, accessible and manipulable.

CD as archival storage. Slower to acess, high quality, lossless.

Vinyl for archival and playback. Something awesome and magical about analog.

RE: Is Ernest still here?

I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn't been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that...

This is a good reminder to remember people are human and may have a life outside of the computer.

Thanks Ernest. Hope you get your issue fixed up. Your health is more important that software.

install random third party software that may be sniffing or leaking information to remove shady features from windows that sniff and leak information.

windows sucks.

I could argue Interstellar being on this list but there was enough good science in it that I'll give it a pass. This is a pretty good list. The only one I haven't seen is Sunshine so I'll be watching it soon.

/kbin Road to Release devlog series

From today, I'm starting a small series of daily devlogs where I'll be describing the changes being implemented before the official release of the first version of /kbin. As I mentioned earlier, I had some minor turbulence in my private life from which I'm slowly emerging. I have partially stabilized my life situation in various...

quality web design sure, but Meta/Facebook is also well known for using dark patterns to promote stickiness and engagement. They’ve built Facebook to be addictive and keep people on it.

ROCKSMITH 2014 LEAVING STORES - Ubisoft (www.ubisoft.com)

You may want to know that Ubisoft’s Rocksmith® 2014 Edition will be de-listed from Steam and other online stores after October 23rd, 2023 which is one week from this post date. This is a game that makes learning to play the guitar like Guitar Hero/Rockband, which can score you or let you slowly practice a part with scrolling...

I bought this recently and the installation and setup experience was so broken and painful on W11 that I uninstalled it out of frustration.

Graphics were ganked (only showed the top left 25% of the screen on 4K, stretched to fill the screen),
Required a UPlay account signup that sent me to dead servers,
Wouldn't use ASIO with my big boy audio gear,
Wouldn't calibrate using "mic" mode plugged into a DI port on my interface and on and on.

It's just a disaster and I wasn't willing to put any effort into figuring out how to de-UPlay the thing and mod it.

Do Not Recommend!

yeah, good tips. I got frustrated and table flipped on it. I found out about the ASIO mods after the fact. Still annoying that they were selling this product in this state and getting away with it.

With kbin and lemmy, there’s a spark of the good ol’ days, but the players are all scattered across so many disconnected grids. I’m sure there are some great communities popping up, but they may be fleeting, or instances might crash and disappear. Mastodon is good, and growing every day and also has some of that Ye Olde Twitter Feels, but — BUT! — I don’t have a lot of fun on it.

Has anybody found any fun communities to share?

also, room names. You can get a pretty good idea of a house's interior layout from the names and sequence of lights being activated. The ongoing attempts to map data to the physical world.

Sonos did this a few years ago and there was a similar outcry. I have stopped using Sonos devices too.

I wish we could get Steam Link on Xbox. That’d be the ideal solution for me since I’ve got the controller already setup. The Shield is probably a decent solution, but it’s an extra device in the chain.

would you rather they leave security holes open exposing your computer to bad things?

you realize modern browsers have millions of lines and over a decade (or two!) of legacy code running that are under constant scrutiny by actors who spend all their time finding exploits in binary executables, right?

you realize your operating system also ships system updates on a regular, often daily basis, right?

so, photos on a blockchain? I thought we tried this already with NFTs and we know how that turned out.

How is this better than any of the cloud based storage systems already available?
