Isn’t “theshamblog” AI generated? So in this case, including the Ars article it’s referencing?

The pieces are dated 2024.

Here’s a simple answer: cables going from analog input devices to DSPs, mixers, etc. need proper shielding and should be as short as possible, with low-resistance connectors. Otherwise, EM radiation can be picked up and interfere with the signal.

Anything traveling digitally? It just needs to arrive at the destination in a timely manner; your cable would have to be really bad to have any influence.

Cables out to analog speakers? As long as you have a decent signal, these can use the crappiest connections and unshielded cables — the worst thing they’ll do is provide interference for OTHER cables they’re near. Just adjust your EQ until the speakers provide the response you’re looking for.

These days, not really, except that netcat has wider capabilities and so often triggers security alarms when used.

I used to send messages by hand over SMTP using a telnet client.

But telnet is just a bidirectional TCP connection. You can run any terminal emulation you want over it, and run it on any port you want.

The telnetd service on the other hand… that has no reason to still be internet-facing.

Funny thing is: I switched from cheap T shirts to dress shirts after I bought one good quality one for a job interview.

They don’t get hot in the heat, wick away moisture, keep you warm when it’s cold, don’t shrink or wrinkle, last a good 10 years of heavy use and look professional no matter who you’re with.

I don’t know why my parents’ generation ever abandoned them.

I wear a dress shirt to work every day. They’re all no-iron; they don’t wrinkle and are wearable out of the dryer.

Textiles have come a long way in the past 50 years.

I think this may not be the best time for them to do that….

Obviously that one guy is unaware of the current easy $140k options on the table.

At what point can AI companies play the “too big to fail” card though, like the banks?

Bubble bursts, and the government uses our taxes to bail out the companies. Again.

Isn’t that functionality built in to the OS? Set up parental controls, and you can do this with no extra apps needed. It’ll even generate reports.

Using Shortcuts, you can even map these profiles to different Focus modes.

This might be romanticizing the early Internet.

I can remember plenty of flame wars in the late 80s and early 90s that were all about shutting down meaningful discussion. Informed debate flourished in niche areas, but it still does today, in a similar volume. What’s changed is the massive volume of social media that’s grown up around it, including many types of voices that were in short supply on the Internet in 1989, and many of which are uneducated and/or tribal in nature.

Disney+ has removed all references to Dolby Vision from its European support pages – even the US support pages.

3D movies on Disney+ have also disappeared in several European countries, as these are presented in Dolby Vision (on Apple Vision Pro).

At this time, there is no timeline for when HDR10+, Dolby Vision and 3D will return to Disney+.

InterDigital holds several thousand patents related to radio and video technology and has previously pursued cases against Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung and others. The company has been described as a ‘patent troll’.

Today’s ReactOS is not the ReactOS of 25 years ago.

Or the tariffs.

That’s rich coming from Harper. I guess his vision of Canadian Nationalism includes remaining a sovereign nation for multinationals to plunder.

VSCodium would have the same Electron caching issues though, wouldn’t it?

Nothing xenophobic about it. That’s just the model we already have documented information about. Notice I mentioned CCP and government, not “the Chinese”.

That’s like calling someone an antisemite for being against the Israeli or Iranian government.

Do you know which trackpad you have?

I’ve had that experience before on some laptops where the battery that sat right under the trackpad started to inflate.

There should never need to be a “kill switch” for a feature the developers have full control over.

Just make it opt-in. An AI kill switch makes me think that they’ve got a setting that will block all known AI interfaces and generated content, which is not what this does.
