There is something to be said for being able to point at a consistent "build" installed on millions of machines, rather than a mish-mash of updates in whatever order. Having said that, the regression in stability of windows updates, and the sorry state of administrator control in Windows 10 flavors that aren't enterprise, is deplorable.
And there it is, politicians funding their little pork barrel projects.
Or, you know, maybe it's just incentivizing behavior with some harmless service fees that also help serve to cover the negative externalities of paper and/or plastic bags.
Nah. It's just more naked corruption from all those greedy politicians. Good thing there's smart guys like you who REALLY see the truth through the lies.
Whaaaaaaat?? microsoft teams?? I hadn't heard of this hip Microsoft product offering before! And what a beloved 90s touchstone, beloved corporate mascot, clippy. I for one am going to rush to sign this petition to let Microsoft know how much they better bring back these emojis to their corporate groupware!
All systems have bugs. The difference with Apple is that generally, the bugs get fixed and the hardware gets supported. As much as you hate their prices and controlled environment, can you say the same of other hardware manufacturers?
Wow, interesting take. I'm trying to think about the last time the custom security chip and a time daemon update caused ASIO to stop working on my Windows boxes. Hmmmm. Can't seem to come up with it.
Once upon a time, there was only one platform that you used for Pro-Audio or video post production. Apple already moved the entire industry to Avid with their Final Cut Fiasco. Considering that so-called system stability was about the only remaining reason to use an Apple vs. a Windows machine for Audio production (not that I've had a "click" from an ASIO device since 2009), this seems like yet another boneheaded move from the company that appears to think that they'll be selling iPhones forever.
I find delicious irony in someone speaking sanctimoniously about "facts" in a discussion about tax legislation based on the idea of trickle down economics, and that slashing taxes for corporations results in higher wages for employees. What do they call that again? Voodoo economics? Have a great one, champ!
In defense of the Nintendo Pro controller, while objectively expensive, and this is my subjective opinion: the build quality and overall quality of the product can't be overstated. Well made, with good feel and responsiveness, and quite a lot of gyro tech. None of the bullshit I've had with Xbox one wireless controller battery packs, none of the periodical droupouts I'll get using the windows dongle.
Wow. This is really serious to you, isn't it? I'm a "fool" and a "moron" for telling you that a 24/96 sample has more information that a 44/16 one? And for telling you that pro-audio moved to 24-bit digital in 1988 for a reason, and that you cannopt find 16-bit in even a hobby studio for 20 years. Now, why is that I wonder? It's ok, nothing "ad hominem" from you, I'm just a "fool" and a "moron". Hey, by the way, how long have you been working with digital audio? How many instruments do you play? Can you tell me about the albums you've engineered?
Real pleasure running into you today, you pretentious faggot.
Oh, and now the ad hominems! I am sorry that being asked the simple question "which contains more information, a 16 bit sample at 44 khz, or a 24-bit sample at 96 khz" causes you to have so much anger and rage.
"They're both equivalent". No, they aren't. Can you answer the simple question about which contains more information about the analog signal without injecting your opinion?
Did you get an extra turnip for dinner for your hard work with bullshit whataboutism, comrade? I like how you even threw in the bit about minors. Comedy fucking gold.
Well, again, the fact that pro audio has been 24-bit for 25 years now would seem to indicate you don't know what you're talking about. Again, no other topic brings out so much dunning Kruger.
We have so few topics here which enable folks to so passionately and smugly tell others that they are wrong
Then you get modded +5 insightful for comparing 24-bit digital audio, the recording studio standard for about 30 years now, to some bullshit about $1000 speaker cable.
And as always, it's the same "*I* know that my 1978 pcm audio format is all I will ever need!":takes giant whiff of own farts:
Continually amazing to me that here on slashdot, supposedly a technology forum, will you find such passionate arguments that a lower data rate rather than a high data rate is the better representation of an analog signal.
The RTX 2080 TI is a 250 watt TDP chip (as it the 1080 TI). There's nothing remotely challenging to cool these systems. I don't really think you understand how TDP works. In any case, as several have corrected you, chips self-manage their thermals and have for about 15-20 years now.
Those polls that are completely and utterly useless in pretty much every respect? Wake me up when something newsworthy happens.
Well, unfortunately for the "I can't hear you" fingers-in-ears crowd, the sad reality is that people are herd creatures and getting folks "On the bandwagon" basically dates to the beginning of civilization. It's just that you suffer from a bias that makes you not want it to be true. It's the same reason why, In spite of every single poll which exists showing otherwise, Moscow Don's supporters absolutely need to believe they are part of some greater social movement, when they most assuredly are not. The rest of the psychology involved, I will leave to people smarter than me. Cheers, buddy!

Fuck Huawei.
Well, when your dad is Prince Homeopathy, and a guy who has great quotes like as “the Westernized world has become far too firmly framed by a mechanistic approach to science.”, or whatever the hell that means (it's towards the last third of the article which details the general buffonery he's been known for for 45 years), then it really should come as a surprise if the Prince opens his mouth and says the kind of dumb shit that runs in his family.
Although.... he isn't wrong about social media, so, six of one half dozen of the other I guess.

I think it's adorable that you somehow tie your sports car into firearms and freedom. Ok chief. Good for you.

The left isn't much better. They mostly see climate change as an opportunity to push an agenda for taxes, coercive big government, and centralization.
More projection from the emotionally defective right. Jesus Christ, you're a fucking retard and I get so goddamned tired of reading your bullshit
"reeeeeeee reeeeeeee reeeeeeee".
:)
Lolololololololol. Cry more
Imagine being so fucking triggered by "feminism". What a sad, sad, sad little person you are.
And Montana is that extra special breed of republican corruption. Rememeber whitefish energy and Ryan Zinke?
