that hasn’t been the case for years though you do need some apple software to make it work. Or you can use Files and connect to Windows over file sharing (smb).

They could probably make it easier, but then they’d have a harder time selling you up to a Mac.

yes. Enjoy your garbage.

The Stellan Skarsgard speech. “What have I sacrificed?” Just an awesome delivery. Great acting.

who gave you the keys to the data center?

don’t feel bad. the kids over 30 aren’t very happy either.

Digital (hard drive) > CD > Vinyl

lossless digital because it’s searchable, accessible and manipulable.

CD as archival storage. Slower to acess, high quality, lossless.

Vinyl for archival and playback. Something awesome and magical about analog.

“North Korean hackers are targeting macOS crypto owners”

no crypto no problem

quality web design sure, but Meta/Facebook is also well known for using dark patterns to promote stickiness and engagement. They’ve built Facebook to be addictive and keep people on it.

yeah, good tips. I got frustrated and table flipped on it. I found out about the ASIO mods after the fact. Still annoying that they were selling this product in this state and getting away with it.

I bought this recently and the installation and setup experience was so broken and painful on W11 that I uninstalled it out of frustration.

Graphics were ganked (only showed the top left 25% of the screen on 4K, stretched to fill the screen),
Required a UPlay account signup that sent me to dead servers,
Wouldn’t use ASIO with my big boy audio gear,
Wouldn’t calibrate using “mic” mode plugged into a DI port on my interface and on and on.

It’s just a disaster and I wasn’t willing to put any effort into figuring out how to de-UPlay the thing and mod it.

With kbin and lemmy, there’s a spark of the good ol’ days, but the players are all scattered across so many disconnected grids. I’m sure there are some great communities popping up, but they may be fleeting, or instances might crash and disappear. Mastodon is good, and growing every day and also has some of that Ye Olde Twitter Feels, but — BUT! — I don’t have a lot of fun on it.

Has anybody found any fun communities to share?

also, room names. You can get a pretty good idea of a house’s interior layout from the names and sequence of lights being activated. The ongoing attempts to map data to the physical world.

Sonos did this a few years ago and there was a similar outcry. I have stopped using Sonos devices too.

now do the rest of the world.

I wish we could get Steam Link on Xbox. That’d be the ideal solution for me since I’ve got the controller already setup. The Shield is probably a decent solution, but it’s an extra device in the chain.

you realize modern browsers have millions of lines and over a decade (or two!) of legacy code running that are under constant scrutiny by actors who spend all their time finding exploits in binary executables, right?

you realize your operating system also ships system updates on a regular, often daily basis, right?
