So you think a mix board is the epitome of an interface for doing audio?
So you think that Trump is attractive in a sexual way? I mean since we're not actually reading what the other person wrote and then just claiming they said something completely different to what they actually said and on a completely irrelevant train of thought I figure we can continue playing that game.
The most recent iteration of Doom IMO captured all the things that made the original great. Arcade style fast paced action. Basic map navigation (find keys, unlock doors). Interesting bosses, it can be quite challenging, and best of all none of that hyper realistic stuff that seems to bog down modern games like weapon reloading, only being able to carry 1 big gun etc.
The fun is still there, just the expectation is different. This is one of the main reasons for the roaring success of Doom. All the fun of the original fast action packed arcade but with modern graphics that meet the expectations.
I'm currently playing Puyo Puyo Tetris on the Switch. Though I wouldn't actually play the original Tetris in DOS anymore because frankly it would hurt my eyes.
I SAID: "SO MANY criminal organizations, not MOST. Get it right.
I did get it right. Online criminality and online cash exchange is a metaphorical piss in the ocean of criminality. You should have lead with the words "a couple" then you would be right.
LOL I'm not 'advocating' anything other than so-called 'cryptocurrency' is stupid, has been from the beginning, and is now sullied by being used by criminals and terrorists. Go right ahead and continue to be guilty-by-assosication though.
Nope. You're negatively associating one form of payment over for a criteria of which the other is far more guilty. That's falsely advocating.
Enjoy knowing the FBI has a file on you and is watching your activities for signs of criminality.
Not sure what's more stupid, that you think the FBI automatically has a file on everyone using cryptocurrency (tip: it's the IRS that has that file), or that you think that somehow they don't have yours simply because your funds are in Bank of America using good old USD which remains a far larger enabler of criminal activity than BTC ever will.
Anyway this has all been quite entertaining. It's fascinating talking to people with such an incredibly low grasp of basic knowledge, but it's bed time. Goodnight.
That's because you're so lost in the thread that you forgot that the discussion was about market share of real people. The article never covered how much each app was used, so that was irrelevant, and seriously someone buying an iDevice for one app that they can't use on their android phone? That level of autism should just stick to playing with fidget spinners.
Audio engineers are not programmers? Well usually anyways.
They like to mimic what they know, mixers, synths, filters compressors etc. The H/W variety works with knobs, so the S/W variety mimics that to help, you know, real audio engineers.
This! The last thing any audio engineer needs to to learn a new interface after having spent many years learning on that has started to look pretty damn standard. If you really don't like the mouse, why not buy a USB mixer control surface and plug it in to your computer. That way you can physically control all the software controls, just like on a real mixing desk.
Intuitive to whom? For someone who's used audio mixers before there's nothing more intuitive than seeing a picture of a mixer. For someone who does it professionally there's nothing more intuitive than plugging in a mixing control surface and binding the physical knobs to the virtual knobs.
This might be one of those millennials with a 5 second attention span.
By the time the time the TV is turned on, they've forgotten what they wanted to do with it.
Millennials have a short attention span that doesn't mean we're forgetful. I just turned my TV on. While it was coming on I also turned on the coffee machine. A loading screen does not command attention.
Let me guess. You make your living as a Web site designer and are baffled why anyone would not appreciate your product, use an ad blocker or think Javascript is a really bad idea? Right?
Nope. I just have a functioning brain that is able to reason what specifications are important and what aren't. Given the amount of time people will spend in front of a TV, having a problem with 10 seconds of turning it on is strange to the point of requiring psychiatric care.
Fuck you. I don't care about any of that other bullshit if it means my TV literally has a transmitter in it to send back any data it pleases to anyone passing by.
Not sure if you're off your meds or your cheap chinese tinfoil hat is resonating at a government satellite frequency.
- multiple HDMI can be obtained by connecting a separate HDMI switch box. Some even have remote controls
No. God no. You lost me at the first point. The last thing I need is another box and another remote.
Better suggestion. Buy a small smart TV and don't connect it to a network. That lone removes 3 boxes you suggest (several of which need their own power, have their own standby, and own remotes).
The problem is when you put that arbitrary requirement in you will end up with a far inferior product at doing the basics. Recommendations floating around suggest buy a monitor or a commercial panel.
These are especially daft recommendations as by forgoing the smart functions of the TV I assume you will be using some other smart device.
Well then you're stuck with: - Will a monitor have the connection options you need. - Will a commercial panel pass through CDC commands from your remote over HDMI. - Will you be able to find something with the picture settings adjustable to suit what you want. - Will you even be able to find the technology you want (e.g. OLED or SUHD panels which as far as I can tell only exist in Smart TV form)
By limiting yourself to dumb TVs you're not just limiting it's intelligence, but it's quality, it's connectability, and by going down this niche route you will be paying far more for far less.
Buy a Smart TV. Don't connect it to the network. Block it's MAC at the router if you're really worried.
I've yet to see a Smart TV that doesn't also function perfectly fine as a dumb TV.
5. Not connecting the television to the network often sees the 'smart' feature interfere with normal operation including messages about not being able to check for updates, it being in the list of inputs, etc.
Citation required. I've never seen a smart TV complain about being unable to get updates when not on a network. The only thing I've ever seen is a smart TV complain that the network went down while downloading an update.
But if it takes longer than 8 seconds to turn on from unplugged to ready it's no better than any CRT set you can find in the trash.
Sure. If you buy a small crap one with poor picture quality 4:3 ratio, crap brightness, low resolution, and in ability to plug in anything to it then yeah it would be no better than a CRT.
if it takes too long
You're watching TV, not trying to land a fighter plane. If you can't spare the 10 seconds for it to start then maybe the problem is you.
If it's so easily traced then why are so many criminal organizations using it?
Because it's not beholden to someone and the only way to do business online in a way that some corporation can't simply cut you off. That is one of the fundamental problems with online criminality, VISA, Mastercard, Paypal, etc. can just say no, and they often do. This was the norm before bitcoin.
Also you're wrong. Most criminal organisations use cash. Only online criminal organisations use bitcoins.
You're not going to change my mind: it's perfectly suited for criminals.
Nope, it's just the only thing they can use. But feel free to continue to be intellectually stubborn, cash is far better for crime and you're advocating it.
Do you want to be delayed to a meeting because it will put safety above all other concerns
To be clear are you putting some worthless meeting above road safety? If so please hand back your license to the issuing agency. Tell them you're too stupid to be on the road and are likely to get someone killed.
For someone whose username closely resembles anglosphere, you don't seem to know much about the anglosphere. Some places use "branch" in the road like "fork" in the road.
I'm a stupid german, and even I grasp that;)
The problem with English as second language speakers is they often don't know the difference in English speaking words. But then I learnt German in Austria so I have the same problem when speaking to Germans, especially when telling time.:-)
You mean people who use what they bought? Those bastards. No they aren't ruining anything other than the ability for companies to lie in marketing materials.
Slashdot Mirror
A senior manager was recently arrested. These things take time.
That's still likely to happen. Someone from management was arrested in May due to the scandal.
I was just following orders hasn't been a valid defence since at least the 40s.

I highly recommend it.

Most people ... have bluetooth remotes.

Never before has there been a more relevant time to say: "I don't think you know what that means"
I SAID: "SO MANY criminal organizations, not MOST. Get it right.

Intuitive to whom? For someone who's used audio mixers before there's nothing more intuitive than seeing a picture of a mixer. For someone who does it professionally there's nothing more intuitive than plugging in a mixing control surface and binding the physical knobs to the virtual knobs.

I've yet to see a Smart TV that doesn't also function perfectly fine as a dumb TV.
You say "Uh" as if it's obvious and easy, and a simple name means you get what you want.
A "monitor" is often very different than a "TV". In terms of input, in terms of picture settings, in terms of panels and technology.
Your simple recommendation is very limiting, especially if you want to, for example, watch TV.
5. Not connecting the television to the network often sees the 'smart' feature interfere with normal operation including messages about not being able to check for updates, it being in the list of inputs, etc.

No they aren't ruining anything other than the ability for companies to lie in marketing materials.
Which is all wonderfully irrelevant to our discussion.
Exactly my point.
