Could be they were both shit lol. I couldnt see (on mobile) what playback system was used.

A good interview with Bob Carver if you like audio history https://podcast.asknoahshow.com/25

I’m a person with sensitive hearing and mp3 always sounds muddy to me compared with a flac or wav rip. My coworker poo-pooed this notion, but I proved it to him. Mp3 does alter the sounds, most people won’t notice, but for somebody that does hear the differences its annoying. I would not spend 10k or anything. I paid $15 for an old 5.1 system, and max $80 for a pi2 with a DAC hat. LOL

For me its like if you stood outside a persons house and heard them talking vs their words coming over their TV. There is a noticable signature that let’s you hear its the TV or real people, and that’s what mp3 vs wav is like for me.

I can also hear my neighbours ceiling fan running in the connected town home. That almost inaudible drone of the motor running, drives me nuts

Exactly, silver is a better conductor I believe, but tarnishes like copper does

Ah, cool

I think the original query was are these illegal to sell in USA due to not having FBI traceability?

It was a question. And wasn’t pen plotters since they can’t reproduce money, and are more rare for consumers

My non laser colour had it. Left yellow dots on photos, drove me crazy

That quote doesn’t mean they always use Teams, they may have clients that only use teams and so are forced to comply to client.

I would hope internally they have a Jitsi server

Illegal due to US govt wanting discrete traceable patterns printed so they can track money duplication on colour printer or track Ransom letters?

Now you’ve interrupted I will lose 40 minutes. Lol.

Also it’s not whats I’d call true code like what a C programmer would do, it’s a enterprise 3d CAD modeller that has a variety of built in programming automation tools/language, visual rules. So its solving geometry issues, component interaction, and interpart constraints via formulae and code so that the varied consumer parameters (they may alter) don’t destroy the model dependencies, and they still get a product assembly output.

Its fine , I got a chuckle out of it. That’s inevitable for me on mobile without my glasses on.

I’m on west coast time, and main office is eastern, my day becomes way more productive once east coast ends their day. No interruption and the last 3 hours are such a good floe state

Chatgpt is normal, maybe a bit too casual lately. Responses now are "IKR classic (software brand) doing that crazy thing they are known for”.

But my last Copilot interaction was copilot being a passive aggressive dick in responses.

Trans woman shooter, so conservatives will be triggered

Here’s the options the AI in notepad offers…

It is if you are subscribed to certain channels, but thankfully we have pro with ability to alter some group policies to block copilot.

There are some minor tools for small work that have been helpful, but overall it is intrusive slop.

Windows updates keep trying to add back ai.exe and aimgr.DLL to my office folder. Which I delete, because otherwise it randomly hogs CPU and bogs down the computer.

Then every damn app has a new AI panel that is garbage.

Yep, it was a trove of discovery, now its all data gleaning and AI marketing slop, and other garbage.

That fog lights on cars used to be able to be turned on with headlights off, so you could actually see better in fog. Nowadays the foglights won’t turn on on most vehicles if headlights aren’t on, which really doesn’t help driving, since you still get headlight glare back.
