Cocaine. It means the same thing here in Canada, despite plenty of skiing going on.

Yes. Apple eventually bought them out and used their tech as the basis for the iPhone's screen.

In the early 2000s a lot of people rolled with no encryption at all! In high school I'd drive around the nearby neighborhoods at lunch until I found an open wifi network so I could browse the net. Never took long to find one.

Last time I tried the Media PC thing it ended up being somewhat of a nightmare. Had to spend significant amount of time setting up MadVR with my video player and get HDR HDMI passthrough working, but it was always very flaky. Occasionally an Nvidia driver update would break it completely. Dolby Vision wasn't even an option.

I really wanted to make it work, but it ended up being an annoying hassle. I got a Shield TV and it has been a much better solution.

Not sure if things have changed since then (~5 years ago).

Basic programming classes are like the baby steps of programming. Huge gulf between that and being able to write and understand complex software.

Yeah I'm a bit puzzled myself. I can see why developers would be interested, but not so much musicians. As someone who owns a decent amount of hardware synths and Eurorack I know this thing would be gathering dust after a day or two.

It's interesting that a few months ago your sentiment would have been upvoted. I've noticed recently that things seem to be flipping around. Sadly, I think it's inevitable that people will accept a form of communication that consists of people trading slop. Even worse, the author lies about using AI for the writeup in the comments.

Yup, lost a 15 year account for multiple Rule 1 violations. All were either quotes from of a film, or obvious jokes. I got the final perm ban removed on appeal, at least allegedly, but my account remains banned and further appeals are straight up ignored. To add insult to injury, I made the mistake of logging in to an alt account on my phone and then that was banned too for evasion!

Reddit has already become an LLM-ridden cesspool as of late. What do they hope to accomplish by getting rid of long term users and making it difficult to onboard new, actual humans?

Funny how all the Carney glazers seem to be MIA in this thread.
