"Technology was once simply a tool—and a small one at that—used to amplify human intent and capacity. That was the story of the industrial revolution: we could control nature and build large, complex human societies, and the more we employed and mastered technology, the better things got. We don’t live in that world anymore. Not only has technology become entangled with the structure of society, but we also can no longer see the world around us without it. The separation is gone, and the control we thought we once had has revealed itself as a mirage. We’re in a transitional period of history right now."

This is an IOCREST-brand USB to RS-232 serial adapter, which I bought from a seller on AliExpress. It arrived in exactly the same time as an identical eBay listing said it would, for literally half the price - if eBay is still your default go-to for weird stuff like this, keep in mind dropshippers are probably fleecing you.

This adapter contains an FTDI chipset, not the much cheaper CH340, and it's time to see if this is the reason I couldn't get serial mice working natively on Windows 10.

@timixretroplays nice. I've never ordered from Aliexpress but have heard mixed/weird things? You have before with luck?

J.I.D had a great mix and was a good showman. 21 Savage...bass is up waaaaaay too much and buries his vocal half the time.

@jake4480@c.im avatar

@josh ugh isn't that the worst. This one Ozzfest, Tool had the bass SO loud it was messing with my HEART. It was AWFUL. I mean, I've been to hundreds of shows, I'm fine with loud stuff. It was just excessive, you couldn't hear anything. Already not a Tool fan. 🤣

Well it's been a year since I joined this here website, so a reintroduction is in order.

I make electronic music that blends the familiar and the experimental. Been doing this for a little over ten years. For better or worse I can't seem to stick to one "sound". I throw genres in a blender and see what happens.

I also post about tech stuff, being a Linux user. In January I finally moved my music production over to Linux. Still getting used to Bitwig; loving it so far.

@ektotherm finally getting a chance to listen to this today and it is GREAT! Woww. KILLER beats/synthwork in track 2 (so far) - and some really cool, almost Numanesque or Stereolab moments. Wild 🔥

@brandonwrites whew haha I mean, those ones in Evil reminded me of those Boston Dynamics dogs. Same thing. Seen those? Those have been fairly uncool to me since they came out. Then I recently saw that Black Mirror episode Metalhead. Have you seen that? My favorite Black Mirror by far 😂🔥
