The Mac vs. PC war is back on?
  • 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.

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

  • Vinyl vs. CD vs. tapes vs. digital. What's your favourite storage medium for owning your music and why?
  • 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.

  • RE: Is Ernest still here?
  • This is a good reminder to remember people are human and may have a life outside of the computer.

    Thanks Ernest. Hope you get your issue fixed up. Your health is more important that software.

  • ROCKSMITH 2014 LEAVING STORES - Ubisoft
  • 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.

  • ROCKSMITH 2014 LEAVING STORES - Ubisoft
  • 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.

  • Why the Internet Isn’t Fun Anymore
  • 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.
