just curious - so is YT Premium really ad-free on mobile? I've been burned by streaming services taking my money and still pushing ads in my face. that's the main reason I haven't signed up for YT Premium.

This is the greatest use of AI that I've seen so far - thank you :)

1000% percent!

I go to a local game exchange place, they have all kinds of DVDs and Blu-Rays for dirt cheap.

glad to hear I'm not the only one!!!

a few months back I opened up a streaming service that I pay for to watch a old TV show. I was _enraged_ to find out that they put ADS WHERE COMMERCIALS USED TO BE. I thought the whole point of paying was to avoid ads!

so now I visit my used Blu-Ray/DVD store about once a month. they always have buy two/get one free, and the prices are ridiculously low.

is it a better solution? I don't know, but I do know that I don't have to watch those ads anymore.

hello Alex,

tech nerd/musician here, I would be very interested in this! do you have an email list or something I can sign up for? this is fantastic, and if the $$$ is not crazy, I would want this for sure.

I would love to read up on how such interfaces (spaceship flight controls, avionics controls, etc.) are designed and the history of them. If anyone knows of any such resource, please point the way!

Those original Elektron machines are just amazing, as are their current devices. This is great!

this seems like an outstanding idea!

This is so incredibly naive to me; the problem isn't AI, it's (as always) profit-above-all driven sociopaths that are running the show.

The DX7 IIFD is a bucket list keyboard for me. I fell in love with it in my youth, and I will eventually buy one in good condition.

The Yamaha FSR1 would be nice, too! :)

OMG thank you - as a musician, that's the first thing I think of when I see "favorite keyboard."

That's really interesting!

Not too long ago, I got unreasonably upset at a streaming service forcing me to watch ads on a subscription plan, so I went out and got a Blu-ray player. I've been periodically visiting my used DVD store, and I've been able to STOCK UP on movies for next-to-nothing. While this isn't the most low-tech solution, it's been kinda fun for someone who spent their youth with CDs/DVDs.

Yeah, if the author sees this, it would be best to change this to "Click to Open". We can argue about the icon (I would say the floppy image), but seeing the word "upload" with a cloud icon 1000% means "send this up to the Internet."
