Begging for all the Lemmy Audiophiles recommendations on computer speakers!
  • A friend of mine who owns a music studio recommended Edifiers to me, and they sound great. He was originally looking for a cheap temporary studio monitor and bought a pair and ended up liking them just as well as his expensive studio monitors. My wife and I have 3 pairs of them for 3 different computer systems and have been really happy with them.

  • Prospect of low-priced Chinese EVs reaching US from Mexico poses threat to automakers
  • I'm not an expert, but I think its totally possible to make a safe 20k EV, maybe even cheaper. We dont need supercomputer touch screen sell yer data super gps NSA track all civilians crap in there either. Just a simple goddamn daily driver.

  • Question: How to Calculate Just Pay for Work
  • TL;DR Impossible, you can't just split all the money among the employees.

    If you want to be fair in this you need to include all the expenses any business has and also reduce that by some multiple, no business can spend all it makes and survive for long.

    Businesses have the same risks and problems as people do, with ironically, additional problems and risks brought on by the people themselves, such as embezzlement and theft.

    You have to include or calculate for holding back profits to stay in the bank to get the company through a recession, natural disasters, or unforeseen circumstances on the downside, or to buy new production facilities and equipment on the upside.

    There is almost always debt service on real estate or existing equipment.

    There are lots of costs any business has and must provide for such as defending against frivolous lawsuits, patent trolls, and grifters, as well as the usual ones such as advertising, complying with government regulations, taxes.

    For retail and manufacturing, supplies and enough inventory takes up a lot of capital and also financing to make it work.

    Is Craigslist Dying?
  • Craigslist was one of the examples of the potential of the early internet, where we could have nice things because all the users valued it. Its falling victim to enshittification even with no ads and no connection to big tech.

  • Is Craigslist Dying?

    I went to Craigslist in my local area for the first time in awhile. I used to like “best of” Craigslist because some of them were great, there still are some, but its just not the same. A community I used to visit had about half the number of posts as I remember, and of jobs and things for sale, I would say roughly half the posts are just bottom feeding companies autoposting one post a day.

    Is Craigslist going to be another web 1.0 app that just dies off? Is it the same in your area?

    Craig himself is long since retired from doing stuff and they never seemed to be interested in working with other apps because most of them just scrape and don’t add value to CL, but the Fediverse can, if there was a filter for the spam. What do you think?

    New business plan-break into the museum, steal the T-Rex, add colored lights and Trumps voice using AI, and make doom predictions with it until the ransom is paid.
    phys.org Three boys found a T. rex fossil in North Dakota. Now a Denver museum works to fully reveal it

    Two young brothers and their cousin were wandering through a fossil-rich stretch of the North Dakota badlands when they made a discovery that left them "completely speechless": a T. rex bone poking out of the ground.

    > Based on the size of the tibia, experts estimate the dino was 13 to 15 years old when it died and likely weighed around 3,500 pounds (1,587.57 kilograms)—about two-thirds of the size of a full-grown adult. > > Ultimately, a Black Hawk helicopter airlifted the plaster-clad mass to a waiting truck to drive it to the Denver museum. > > Lyson said more than 100 individual T. rex fossils have been unearthed, but many are fragmentary. It is unclear yet how complete this fossil is. So far, they know they have found a leg, hip, pelvis, a couple of tailbones and a good chunk of the skull. > > The public will get to watch crews chip away the rock, which the museum estimates will take about a year.

    TIL Costco sells more than 100 million hot dogs a year, and congress is considering a bill that will limit people to only 3 per day.

    Chances are that if you've ever set foot inside a Costco you've had the famous $1.50 hot dog and soda combo, but there's probably a lot you don't know about it.
