    yes, but that need to be plugged into amp with "inverse RIAA curve", ie base boost and treble cut to match vinyl's properties, and boosted from the hundredth of a volt to the 1 volt or more a PC or your TV might need to function

    So sorry to hear you ditched something useful, simple and well-designed for Atlassian's overpriced bloatware. What was the appeal, how particular buggy versions of Java are required for some of their shi or how batch job threads like mail queuing stall out for no reason? Maybe put in a cron job to restart the festering pile of shit every morning and hope to god it holds together until quitting time.

    Those are satellite galaxies as I learned in childhood, no demoting them to "dwarf galaxies" on my watch you spring chicken tenderfoots!

    maybe they can work from 3D high res image of disk, if digital computing still around. It may not be, we might bio-engineer our "computers" to be nerves and supporting tissue. Makes sense to me, why have a need for multi-billion dollar manufacturing plants when soil and sunlight could be used to make things instead. Growing our houses, clothes, "vehicles"....

    No, you have one anecdote saying it wasn't removed. It is easily removable, I've done it.

    I'd give the memory in those devices a decade tops before they're useless, you won't have someone reflashing them every 5 years. Which is rotting faster than the capacitors in that power supply, but not by much. I'm amused at everyone who thinks modern high-tech consumer grade crap is going to be useful in even 20 years.

    There are programs on the web for constructing the music (badly) from a scanned image of your LP.

    100 years ago there were tabulators, punch card driven. BTW, I have 40+ year old punched card decks that are fine; there are popular scripting language programs that can construct the record from scanned image

    I'm cheap, if I were Levono I'd post link and md5 checksum of ISO download of the clean version. Seed a few torrents with it too. Problem solved as far as I'm concerned.

    I like Lenovo laptops, Windows problems like this not an issue when I put Linux Mint and OpenBSD on them

  18. miniscule amount of power makes it pointless on Energy-Generating Fabric Set To Power Battery-Free Wearables · · Score: 1

    I can power all the devices the summary lists with two coins stuck lemon juice or a potato, A mere 1.1 mW? A single "D" alkaline battery would last for a year and a couple months at that power level.

    How about us people who used to think Debian was the very best Linux server system in existence, and who evangelized its use and put it in businesses and donated to SPI. But now we shun it as garbage, and actively remove it from our company's servers? Do you think that makes the Debian project happy?
