The good ones are the ones who became cops to serve their communities faithfully in maintaining order.
The bad ones are the ones who want authority over other people and are quick to abuse it.
I kinda hate this aspect of gaming now. If you're not doing the absolutely most efficient method or best gear or whatever, that entitled shut in with way too many hours on his hands will pipe up about it.uziq wrote:

nah I wasn't comparing them at all, we just never get any public demonstrations at all really so whenever there's something, you know it's a hot topic on the world stage is alluziq wrote:
i wouldn't really conflate BLM with the weird anti-vaxxer/flat earth/david icke/'patriot independent free thinker' movements. BLM actually has an actual point. whether or not dundee is a hotspot for death in police custody is sort of besides the point. you can march in support of a cause.Finray wrote:
lol, the city I live is a great litmus test for how bad things have gotten. we finally got some public demonstrations of covid hoax protests!

we even had a BLM protest in the summer
the anti-vaxxer lot seem to tap into a weird subterranean underworld of facebook groups and 'public, community news'. you notice that a lot of the pizzagate/Qanon people are basically like suburban/small town mothers, who get dragged into the deep end of crazy with stories about 'child abduction', which sounds fair enough. but madeleine mccann it fucking ain't. i don't think they realise how quickly they start to lose grip of reality.

Right this is what I thought you were saying. I wasn't aware this was the case. Or maybe I was? Electromagnetism used to be two seperate forces at one point?uziq wrote:
the 'constants' of the universe were likely different, 50 nanoseconds after the big bang, to what they are now. that is what i'm saying

my device could not power your speakers, nor could their equivalent in the 1990s. it's simply a different device.
I've got my PC coming out 3.5mm and a keyboard which has a 3.5mm out also. I would want a headphone out, too, yeah.uziq wrote:
what would the two inputs be? 2 digital inputs? 2 computers? do you need wireless/bluetooth? etc. these are all common features for a DAC, but not as common for a hi-fi amplifier. do you also want to plug headphones into it? because that will involve a headphone output/headphone amplifier, too.
the good news is basic amplifiers for low/mid-range speakers are pretty cheap. the DAC digital-computer audio bit gets a bit more expensive.
SMSL or JDS labs make decent gear for an affordable price.

this is counter to my understanding then. I was under the impression that massless particles move at C in a vacuum, regardless of what time in the universe. You can slow it down, make it travel through air or water etc, but a vacuum is a vacuum whether just after the big bang or just before the heat death, no?uziq wrote:
'c' is the speed of light in vacuum. which has not necessarily been the same everywhere and throughout the entire history of the universe (even einstein wrote about this).
This reminds me of something I saw explaining that the laws we deal with, are the way they are because they're at the bottom of a hill. They may have come down another hill to rest, but to change them would require extra energy. Something like this:uziq wrote:
there are other constants, like planck's constant. what he's getting at is the misbegotten idea that the universe started out with 'laws' and is just unfolding according to those 'rules'.
Feels like you're kicking the can down the road? I know about reference frames, but it feels a bit pedantic to say "yes, light moves at 300km/s, unless you're moving away from it at 300km/s". From the observer in that scenario, the speed of light would be 0, but from our reference, they would both be moving at C..uziq wrote:
but no scientist seriously thinks this; even a biologist or a chemistry working in a lab on very particular problems now realizes that everything occurs within a 'reference frame', relative to being on Earth, etc. and especially an astrophysicist like freeman dyson who spent his entire career thinking about the long-view of the universe's history, i.e. its very beginnings and its eventual late end.
more marvelling at modern technology, and how far we've come so quickly. That wee gizmo you've got does everything my amp, a harman/kardon hk 610 from the mid 90s(?) does, and so much more, in less than like 1/8 the size.uziq wrote:
even most computer DACs will be that size, let alone decent hi-fi receivers/amplifiers.
my dj mixer is huge. you can see it underneath all my shit in the top picture. 32 x 35 cm. that's just another amplifier at the end of the day.

i am warming to the '1970s nasa console' aesthetic. i quite like the form factor as a little desktop console. i can picture myself taking this thing with me when i travel and just running it off the bus power of my macbook. that's the most impressive thing, to me. it posts insane audio stats with a huge noise floor and excellent SNR ... off a USB2.0 bus. not even USB 3.0. the upgraded headphone op-amps are the same as in their industry-standard £1600 DAC. it's made my HD-600 cans sound like an entirely different beast.
when i plugged it in, it installed some random 160kb ASIO driver and it was ready to go. that's it. their fearsome best-in-industry drivers, which post ridiculous low round-trip latencies, are a couple hundred kb. it reminds me of the design philosophy behind like zowie mice, just plug-n-play and no bullshit. rock solid and stable.
i've done a shitload of research into DACs over the last year, so if anyone fancies upgrading the shine on their PC audio, let me know.
I think I asked you about this before. I really want a wee USB DAC to replace this ol' girl. What would I need to get to let it drive my old bookshelf speakers? They connect with that bare cable you screw in.uziq wrote:
