00:02 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, Yeah, CNN is saying they're going to lay off the yellow journalism and go to real news.

00:03 DaemonFC; They're a branch of the Democratic Party, and stuffed with sex perverts and public masturbators.
00:03 DaemonFC; I wouldn't call someone a pervert for masturbation.
00:03 DaemonFC; Or having it accidentally witnessed when they thought they were in private.
00:03 DaemonFC; The guy got stung by not using Zoom's "privacy mode" correctly.
00:04 DaemonFC; The truth is that very nearly everyone masturbates and people still talk about it like it's something only a degenerate does.
00:05 DaemonFC; But you know, the perverts are like Chris Cuomo and that guy that was paying women to send their underage daughters to him. They had their own mini-Epstein and it barely got coverage anywhere.
00:09 DaemonFC; Anything sex-related tends to get false equivalence as far as scandal goes.
00:09 DaemonFC; Which is really really weird.

11:28 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Amazon be like "Renewed" and people are taking pictures of their Ninja Foodi that had cracked plastic that they cut themselves on or major dents and dings and stuff.
11:29 schestowitz_TR2; amazon :-)
11:29 DaemonFC; I don't know what Amazon's definition of "refurbished" is, but the generally accepted one at least used to be "Should be indistinguishable from buying a new unit, but legalities prohibit them from calling it that.".
11:29 schestowitz_TR2; your mom's vice
11:29 schestowitz_TR2; I read about it today
11:29 schestowitz_TR2; I can find the link
11:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, Packard Bell used to take customer returns and fix them and then sell the computer as new.
11:30 DaemonFC; They got sued for that.
11:31 DaemonFC; KMart used to sell factory refurbished appliances sometimes.

11:31 TR Bot; Debra Berlyn: Online Shopping is Here to Stay for Older Adults : Broadband Breakfast
11:31 DaemonFC; I remember my parents buying a refurbished Hoover vacuum cleaner there that was about half the price. It worked fine for many years.
11:31 DaemonFC; So obviously they got a good deal on that.
11:32 DaemonFC; That was back when people still took their vacuum to the repair shop if it broke down, and when the thing worked so wall that you could look at the carpet and see where you'd been already.
11:32 DaemonFC; *well
11:32 DaemonFC; Today you get a vacuum cleaner and it's all shitty and made in China most of the time.
11:33 DaemonFC; If anything happens to it, you throw the whole machine in a dumpster. Mom got a $700 vacuum that broke down and then threw it out a year later when it broke down.
11:35 DaemonFC; I asked her if she spent $700 on the vacuum why she didn't take it to the vacuum repair shop and she said "The guy wanted $100 to look at it and tell me what was wrong, and that was before he fixed it and it's not a car! The guy I go to church with said the $50 vacuum I replaced it with could break down and go in the trash every year and I still wouldn't be out $700 for the vacuum!".
11:35 DaemonFC; I said, "The $100 is usually a diagnostic fee and sometimes you get it back if you have them repair it. They just don't want you wasting their time if you're not going to get it repaired there. It may have only been a broken belt, which is like $10.".
11:36 DaemonFC; Oh, $700 vacuum in the trash without even looking at it.
11:36 DaemonFC; Now she can't afford to just pick up and move out on this bastard of a landlord she has.
11:39 DaemonFC; Typical boomer. "Oh this guy wants to be paid for his work. I'll just chuck it and spend more money on another one that'll break down!".
11:40 DaemonFC; Boomers tend to be horrible with finances and in a lot of debt all the time for stupid reasons.
11:41 DaemonFC; That woman she worked with gave her 2012 Chevy Malibu as a trade-in for $2,000 on the suspicion there might be something wrong with the transmission, without even getting a quote for the work, or a diagnostic.
11:42 DaemonFC; She spent $12,000 on a 2011 Ford Mustang from the same shop, which told her it needed a "timing chain" that they put in, and the engine blew up on her on the way home.
11:42 DaemonFC; Now she has no car at all and a $12,000 Mustang that needs a $5,000 used engine.
11:50 schestowitz_TR2; PB is still around?

12:12 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, Yeah, I buy stuff from "Amazon Warehouse Deals" sometimes.
12:12 DaemonFC; So the box that a box fan came in got damaged.
12:12 DaemonFC; As long as the fan works, why wouldn't I want to pay 15% less for the fan?

12:14 TR Bot; Molekule Air Pro FDA-Cleared Medical Air Purifier with PECO Technology for Smoke, Allergens, Pollutants, Viruses, Bacteria and Mold in Professional Spaces : Home & Kitchen
12:14 DaemonFC; Claims to scrub CO2 out of the air.
12:14 DaemonFC; LOL
12:14 DaemonFC; Unless you're an astronaut, not having a CO2 scrubber is rarely an issue.
12:16 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, Mom asked me what I use in the livingroom. I told her "a fan with a furnace filter strapped to it and sealed in with tape".
12:16 DaemonFC; She goes, "And that works?". I said, "Well, it's not quite HEPA, but it doesn't cost much. It's literally a $20 box fan and a $10 filter you have to change a few times a year.".
12:17 DaemonFC; Just get the cheapest box fan that moves air around because even on the low setting, this thing can maintain the air quality of a room. You're not buying it to move a shitload of air and keep you comfortable so it doesn't have to be a performance model fan. It just has to move plenty of air through the filter.
12:18 DaemonFC; With no air purifier in my living room I can see dirt floating around in the air. It's so bad it looks like glitter if I turn on my phone camera and make a video.
12:18 DaemonFC; But the fan+furnace filter gets rid of all of that.
12:19 DaemonFC; MinceR said fans don't work. They work, until they don't.
12:20 DaemonFC; Obviously the hotter it gets, the less they work to keep you cool, until there's no point running it and you need to turn on the air conditioning.
12:20 DaemonFC; But if it's just mildly to moderately uncomfortable, getting some air on you can relieve that.
12:22 DaemonFC; Do they save you money? Well, where I live, there's about 40 days out of the Summer where air conditioning is not really necessary, but you do want some air on you. If you have no fan and turn the air conditioner on, it'll add $2-3 per day, so if you used the fan instead, it will pay for itself in 10 days, and then you'd still have the fan next year.
12:23 DaemonFC; Fans can also help the air conditioner cool you down better, so you don't have to turn it down as much to achieve the same cooling effect.
12:23 DaemonFC; The US Department of Energy has some interesting guidance on the air conditioner.
12:23 DaemonFC; They suggest keeping it at 78 while you're awake and 82 at night.
12:23 DaemonFC; I don't know about anyone else, but if it's 82 in my bedroom I can't sleep and I'm going to be madder than hell.
12:24 DaemonFC; They also recommended a smart thermostat. The electric company pays you to buy a Nest.
12:24 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, ^
12:24 schestowitz_TR2; sorry, hang opn..
12:24 schestowitz_TR2; I'm GIMPing something
12:25 DaemonFC; I laughed pretty hard at that. I know when I'll be gone all day and can flip the air conditioner off.
12:25 DaemonFC; It doesn't need to have a connection to my phone for that. It has an OFF switch.
12:25 schestowitz_TR2; it's BS
12:25 schestowitz_TR2; all those spying devices
12:25 schestowitz_TR2; they use up power
12:25 schestowitz_TR2; so you pay more
12:26 schestowitz_TR2; and they tell them a lot about you
12:26 schestowitz_TR2; it tells you very little that you didn't not aalready know
12:26 DaemonFC; They already know a lot from smart meters.
12:26 schestowitz_TR2; "oh really? I didn't need this shitty gadget to tell me my PC is on"
12:26 DaemonFC; But this tells them exactly what you're doing.
12:26 schestowitz_TR2; not just them
12:26 schestowitz_TR2; their data partners

12:26 schestowitz_TR2; today biden
12:27 schestowitz_TR2; tomorrow Trump-Greene
12:27 DaemonFC; Maybe.
12:27 DaemonFC; The Party would feel better about someone that can do two back to back terms.
12:28 DaemonFC; Vice Presidents don't have a good track record of being elected after the president's term is done.
12:28 DaemonFC; Sometimes it happens with coattails, like George H.W Bush.
12:29 DaemonFC; Sometimes the president dies in office and the VP goes on to win a full term.
12:29 DaemonFC; But trying to get elected after just being the VP for 8 years is not easy.

12:31 DaemonFC; The economy wasn't in fantastic shape when Reagan got re-elected.
12:31 DaemonFC; And it was another landslide.

12:43 DaemonFC; I did not see that. I was just commenting that elections don't always go the obvious way.
12:43 DaemonFC; I still think Trump would lose if he came back.
12:43 DaemonFC; Most people don't like Biden, but they like Trump less.
12:48 DaemonFC; If they're still talking about gun control and abortion on election day, and the economy is bad, they're going to lose a lot of seats in Congress.
12:48 DaemonFC; But most presidents lose a lot of seats in Congress, but then the voters are satisfied that they can't really do much anymore and give the president whose policies they just repudiated another term.
12:49 DaemonFC; So I think Biden will hang in there, but I also think we're looking at the biggest Republican majority in Congress since Gingrich's strategy against Bill Clinton in 1994 and 1996.
12:49 DaemonFC; The same thing basically happened to Bush, Obama, and Trump.
12:49 DaemonFC; So it's not like it's unique.

12:50 DaemonFC; The Democrats have pretty much zero chance to hold the House or the Senate this year.
12:51 DaemonFC; They conduct rigged polling to try to claim the Democrats can hang in there somehow.

12:52 DaemonFC; Only the most corrupt reprobate mind out there could possibly support totally unrestricted abortion.

16:15 psydroid2; maybe that's where my confusion lies
16:15 psydroid2; I do, as I lived there for a year and a bit
16:15 XRevan86; psydroid2: I don't know why Polish is like that, Ukrainian has an affinity for a palatalised "s" (and "ts").
16:16 psydroid2; XRevan86, I am happy to be made aware of it, because I've been doing it wrong all along
16:17 matey; ,
16:19 XRevan86; ^ a phrase I wish to know the English version of
16:19 matey; "prove the obvious"
16:19 matey; i mean, theres no idiom for it that i know of
16:19 matey; its not a "saying" in english afaik
16:19 matey; /me thinks
16:19 XRevan86; matey: That's not really what that's about.
16:20 matey; explain it to me then
16:20 XRevan86; It's more about proving something unsubstantiated as false.
16:20 matey; oh
16:20 matey; i mean "you cant prove a negative"
16:21 matey; and then theres "unfalsifiable" as a single word
16:21 matey; which is probably closer in meaning
16:22 matey; but id be surprised if you werent familiar with these already
16:22 XRevan86; I am, it's close but not it.

16:25 XRevan86; > The Hare runs like crazy through a forest and meets the Wolf. The Wolf asks: "What's the matter? Why such haste?" / "The camels there are caught and shod!" The Wolf says: "But you're not a camel!" / "Hey, after you are caught and shod, just you try to prove to them that you are not a camel!"
16:25 XRevan86; > This joke is a suggested to be an origin of the popular Russian saying "try to prove you are not a camel" in the sense "try to prove something to someone who doesn't want to listen", used in relation to violations of the presumption of innocence by Russian law enforcement agencies, or when someone has to fight the bureaucracy to get official papers proving that one has lost a leg or is even alive.
16:25 matey; yeah i was going to say
16:25 matey; there are idioms in english for people who just wont ever listen, no matter what you say
16:26 matey; but they come from a different angle, focusing on the person who wont listen, rather than the impossibility of explaining
16:26 matey; or maybe
16:26 matey; having to explain until youre "blue in the mouth"
16:27 matey; the most famous english example of this of course being the dead parrot sketch from monty python
16:27 matey; john cleese goes into a pet shop to complain that the parrot he just purchased there "not alf an hour ago" was stone dead
16:27 matey; and that the only reason it had stayed on its perch in the first place is it had been nailed there
16:28 matey; so the owner of the shop proceeds to argue with him and explain that "ees just resting!"

17:54 matey; "Marx assumed that the starting point of a movement in the direction of socialism would be a high level of living standards.
17:55 matey; Only by completely satisfying all the material aspirations of men and women will it be possible to arrive at a level where such aspirations cease to dominate peoples lives and thoughts, preparing the way for a qualitatively superior level of human civilisation."-- ted grant
17:55 matey; for all the bullshit so-called "socialists" out there making a lot out of (nothing) piddling reforms
17:56 matey; including new labour
17:56 matey; socialism implies progress that the masses can see
17:56 matey; if the masses cant see progress, its probably not socialism
17:56 matey; but theres plenty of the fake, bullshit variety
17:57 matey; the stuff political careers are made of
17:57 matey; careerists are hardly better than plunderers and embezzlers
17:57 matey; theyre liars and frauds
17:57 matey; similarly, lieplanet has nothing to offer freedom except less return, less freedom, more marketing and more censorship
17:57 matey; fraud, fraud, bullshit, fraud
17:58 matey; when its the real thing, its obvious
17:58 matey; maybe some people dont understand it, but those that do understand dont have to guess
17:58 matey; because it isnt fucking complicated
17:58 matey; only the bullshit is complicated
17:58 matey; of course im talking about results. methods are complicated. results (real ones) are plain to see
17:59 matey; careerists make results complicated, because theyre justifying bullshit with more bullshit
17:59 matey; all theyre doing is holding people back
17:59 matey; covering up for the problems
18:00 matey; maybe they say there are problems, then they cover up for the causes of those problems
18:00 matey; and finally say "oh, its not so bad"
18:00 matey; as if people are too stupid to know if things are bad
18:00 matey; of course if you control communication, then you can make it look like most people agree with bullshit
18:00 matey; then people feel a little more helpless to state the fucking obvious
18:01 matey; not that such has happened to lieplanet, the fsf, or the founder of the movement
18:01 matey; oh wait
18:01 matey; yes it has
18:02 matey; there are absolutely people who are never happy no matter what you do
18:02 matey; but when more and more people are silenced by the notion that you cant make everyone happy
18:02 matey; then youre in major bullshit territory
18:03 matey; even people who are wrong about the causes, the culprits, etc
18:03 matey; know that something at least, is wrong
18:03 matey; you cant rid them of that notion, it has to go somewhere
18:03 matey; they know (for a fact) that something is wrong
18:04 matey; if you prove (with bullshit) that it isnt x, y, z when it is actually x, y, z
18:04 matey; they will assume it has to be p. d. q instead
18:04 matey; because they know its something at least
18:04 matey; that much theyre right about
18:04 matey; if you hide the culprits well enough, people will make them up
18:05 matey; but theyre not making up the overall problem, theyre simply determined to find the fault somewhere
18:05 matey; the better you hide the real problems, the more people will come up with other problems (even imaginary ones)
18:05 matey; the suspicion of millions of people will flow somewhere
18:06 matey; even if it flows to nonsense
18:06 matey; fix the real problems and people will make up fewer ridiculous ones
18:06 matey; human imagination will not cease to exist, but the abuse of that imagination will naturally go back to reasonable levels (mostly)
18:06 matey; at least relativelty speaking
18:07 matey; just for one example, if debian didnt suck, pocock probably wouldnt be a name we know now
18:08 matey; i was actually thinking of the pandemic and the nuttier responses to that, but pocock works as an example too
18:08 matey; the more real problems get brushed under the rug, the harder people will try to imagine whats under there

18:52 matey; those are good priorities in the big scheme of things
18:52 matey; very practical
18:56 matey; The quality of Soviet consumer goods was not as bad as the pro-bourgeois press now likes to make out. At any rate, there was no reason in principle why the quality of these goods should be any worse than those produced in the West. In those sectors WHERE quality received DUE ATTENTION, very good products were made.
18:56 matey; did you know the guardian existed in 1986? i didnt
18:57 MinceR; people generally don't know how bad the quality of those goods was
18:57 matey; some of them were appalling
18:57 matey; When we think of Soviet excellence in technology, we are accustomed to their achievements in space, and to the high quality of many of their military products. <- the guardian, 1986
18:58 MinceR; the cars they made had to be taken directly to service when they were brand new to fix the manufacturing defects
18:58 matey; the tractors fell apart a lot too

18:59 matey; the citizens WOULD HAVE complained, given the chance
19:00 matey; its ironic, but the citizens would have held production to a higher standard than the oppressive system could
19:01 matey; but the oppressive system was more interested in volume
19:01 matey; which led to utter crap
19:01 matey; the space programme didnt need thousands of rockets capable of manned spaceflight
19:01 matey; they took their fucking time
19:02 matey; and did it right
19:02 matey; but if theyd been making space rockets for the masses, nothing would make it into orbit but the factory itself
19:02 matey; because production must increase!
19:03 matey; its a lot like the meat industry in the states
19:03 matey; a lot of bad shit happens when you lean too hard on that lever
19:03 matey; if the workers have a say, its a lot safer
19:04 matey; production may go down, quality at least has the chance to increase
19:05 matey; democracy is more efficient than bureaucracy because the people who know whats going on are closer to the decision making process
19:05 matey; bureaucrats make terrible guesses on their best day, with data that is less useful, and it increases corruption too

21:22 DaemonFC; So I told her go up to Whitley County and slap him with divorce papers from that court. They asked her why she was doing that and she cited conflict of interest involving the judge and her husband.
21:22 DaemonFC; During the trial, the judge up in Whitley sided with mom over Dave more often than not.

21:48 DaemonFC; They paid him to work on Vorbis, which was basically wasted effort.
21:48 schestowitz_TR2; not really
21:48 schestowitz_TR2; I still use it
21:48 DaemonFC; Not only is Vorbis deprecated, but instead of quality tuning for stereo mode, which stopped in 2004 upstream, they did this crazy surround sound bullshit.
21:49 DaemonFC; In stereo mode, Xiph LibVorbis hasn't changed much since 2004.
21:49 DaemonFC; There was still "gold in them there hills" as far as what was possible in encoder tunings.
21:49 DaemonFC; But "monty" repeatedly refused to look into it, or even accept patches that achieved that.
21:50 DaemonFC; AoTuv isn't so much worse than Opus. It's comparable in quality to Apple AAC.
21:51 DaemonFC; I have a rough "transparency" estimate for each codec. They claim that Opus is about 40% more efficient than LAME MP3, but LAME hasn't changed much since those comparisons were made and Opus has.
21:52 DaemonFC; Read the change log between 1.1 and 1.3 and you see that.

21:58 DaemonFC; But LAME behaves that way too at the higher settings.

22:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, Dropping floor0 from the Vorbis specification and decoder would de-bloat it a bit. Anything encoded with 1.0-rc2 would still work. It was retained due to compatibility with encoders that were never guaranteed to be compatible with the final specification anyway.
22:01 TR News; Netflix and Spotify won't survive the coming decade

22:17 DaemonFC; With LDAC it wouldn't be too bad.
22:17 schestowitz_TR2; they used simpler radio
22:17 schestowitz_TR2; but needed battery
22:17 DaemonFC; Yes, I had a pair of FM headphones.

22:17 DaemonFC; I bought them at Aldi.

22:25 DaemonFC; Getting sound to the speaker is a "problem" that was solved in the 1960s.
22:26 DaemonFC; Everything they did since then only made it worse.
22:26 schestowitz_TR2; exactly!
22:26 DaemonFC; Worse or impossible.
22:26 schestowitz_TR2; remember the big, thick headphone jacks?
22:26 schestowitz_TR2; and the adapters for these?
22:26 DaemonFC; Yes, the 5/8ths I believe.
22:26 schestowitz_TR2; afaik, some headphones still come with them
22:26 DaemonFC; I have an adapter for my headphones.
22:26 schestowitz_TR2; the adapter
22:26 DaemonFC; It turns the 1/8th into a 5/8ths.
22:27 schestowitz_TR2; it's like sd and microsd
22:27 DaemonFC; Yes, there's nothing wrong with the 1/8" (3.5 mm).
22:27 schestowitz_TR2; the bigger ones might be more robust
22:27 DaemonFC; Sounds terrific.
22:27 schestowitz_TR2; but I did not test
22:27 DaemonFC; EM shielding a cable is cheap and easy.
22:27 schestowitz_TR2; you can get high fiudelity ones
22:27 DaemonFC; You can do it with tinfoil and then cover that with the sheath.
22:27 schestowitz_TR2; I think I still have one
22:27 DaemonFC; The cable costs $9 for a 20 footer.
22:28 schestowitz_TR2; hmm... I wonder where my cable is..
22:28 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, Someone I knew was complaining about static and needing a new cable.
22:28 DaemonFC; I said "No you don't.".
22:28 schestowitz_TR2; right now I use 15-pound headphones
22:28 DaemonFC; Took a foil chewing gum wrapper, moved it around until no more static. Said, "You kinked the EM shield." and taped the foil in place.
22:28 schestowitz_TR2; with hdmi and all the modern stuff it would not work
22:29 schestowitz_TR2; the scrambled signals
22:29 DaemonFC; HDMI is huge and there are several incompatible versions.
22:29 schestowitz_TR2; even vga gives you comparablke quality
22:29 DaemonFC; It's a fucking joke.
22:29 DaemonFC; You break the cable and it doesn't work at all. Doesn't take much.
22:29 DaemonFC; The ports are easy to break too.
22:29 schestowitz_TR2; yeah
22:29 schestowitz_TR2; my experience also
22:29 DaemonFC; Mostly for DRM.
22:29 schestowitz_TR2; we bought many cables like these
22:29 schestowitz_TR2; some barely last months
22:29 schestowitz_TR2; if you jerk them a lot
22:29 schestowitz_TR2; like on a movin g laptop
22:30 schestowitz_TR2; yes, it's a DRM carrier
22:30 schestowitz_TR2; same with all that stuff that replaces headphone jacks
22:30 DaemonFC; I strongly prefered DVI-D and a 3.5 mm cable.
22:30 DaemonFC; I have no use for DRM and don't use it.
22:30 DaemonFC; There was also a standard for analog audio over a DVI-D cable.
22:30 schestowitz_TR2; many monitors support neither dvi or vga
22:30 MinceR; DRM (HDCP) is possible on DVI-D, sadly
22:31 schestowitz_TR2; some support all 3 types
22:31 schestowitz_TR2; but can be expensive
22:31 DaemonFC; So it's not even like you needed HDMI for a unified cable.
22:31 MinceR; my first LCD monitor proudly advertised that it supports HDCP :(
22:31 MinceR; (and it had only VGA and DVI-D inputs, iirc)
22:31 DaemonFC; Oh, then you have to worry about if it's HDMI 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.2, etc.
22:32 DaemonFC; And if it's not DRM'd enough, your shit won't work because Hollywood.
22:32 DaemonFC; Fuck them
22:32 schestowitz_TR2; the cables can be very sensitive and get 'confused'
22:32 schestowitz_TR2; I still get trouble with these
22:32 schestowitz_TR2; like after booting it would not "pick up"
22:32 MinceR; DVI-D cables probably have the same issues regarding bandwidth and versions
22:33 DaemonFC; Oh yes, that reminds me. When I connected my Windows 8.1 over Nvidia's HDCP compliant port to my HDCP compliant TV, Amazon told me I needed to ditch Firefox and come back in Internet Explorer.
22:33 MinceR; and DP cables are a pain to work with because of the little hooks
22:33 schestowitz_TR2; maybe activelow left because irc was too much drm for him
22:33 DaemonFC; So I laughed and did, then it said that the HDCP versions mismatched and it wouldn't play in HD.
22:33 schestowitz_TR2; and it rendered fonts
22:33 DaemonFC; Great stuff.
22:33 schestowitz_TR2; DRM is a mess for many reasons
22:33 DaemonFC; Just buy new TVs and video cards and cables all the time because money is available and takes no work to get, right?
22:33 schestowitz_TR2; it's not fault-tolerant
22:33 schestowitz_TR2; and not designed to be
22:34 schestowitz_TR2; DaemonFC: maybe 20 years ago
22:34 DaemonFC; I already had to chuck a Blu Ray player that worked when I started coming up on newer discs that took 4 minutes to load.
22:34 DaemonFC; Then ones that didn't work at all.
22:35 DaemonFC; Then I eventually gave up on "owning" Blu Rays and used the player to borrow them from the library so at least I wasn't out more money later.

22:38 schestowitz_TR2; with one piece or at most 3
22:38 DaemonFC; I used to buy premium compact cassettes to get good transfers from CDs I borrowed from my aunt and friends at school.
22:38 schestowitz_TR2; a lot can go wrong with cassette tape
22:38 DaemonFC; I used the cassettes, not CDs.
22:39 schestowitz_TR2; and with CD also
22:39 schestowitz_TR2; the vinyl is KISS
22:39 MinceR; DaemonFC: they love the popping and hissing
22:39 schestowitz_TR2; go up and down
22:39 DaemonFC; The vinyl sounds okay at first.
22:39 MinceR; generally, humans seem to love crap
22:39 schestowitz_TR2; damage means just a little jitter or sound distortion
22:39 DaemonFC; Then it gets worse.
22:39 MinceR; they make up bullshit terms for it too, like "warm"
22:39 DaemonFC; The needle grinds them down the more you play it, and eventually grinds in dirt and crap so you can't get it out.
22:40 DaemonFC; And then you have less and less accurate playback every time you use it no matter how careful you are. They're dust magnets, which only makes the problem worse.
22:40 schestowitz_TR2; so the quality degrades
22:40 schestowitz_TR2; but it still plays
22:40 schestowitz_TR2; even 50 years later
22:40 schestowitz_TR2; tapes you might need to literally tape
22:40 DaemonFC; Opus files don't degrade.
22:40 schestowitz_TR2; when they rip apart, fold...
22:40 DaemonFC; They're easy to back up because they're small.
22:40 MinceR; FLAC files don't degrade and don't have to be pre-degraded, even :>
22:41 DaemonFC; You'll know if it's corrupt and needs restored from backup because of CRC.
22:42 DaemonFC; Compact Cassettes don't get "eaten" by the player much unless you let the head get really dirty.
22:42 DaemonFC; About every 100-150 plays you run a special tape with a cleaner solvent through it. Just a drop of cleaner on the sponge and then play the tape until it says to stop and eject it.
22:42 DaemonFC; You're good to go again.
22:43 DaemonFC; VCRs are the same really.
22:43 DaemonFC; Those had cleaner tapes too.

23:36 schestowitz_TR2; I have a splitter on now
23:36 DaemonFC; I replaced the Vizio soundbar with the Bose to save space and get better sound from the TV.
23:36 schestowitz_TR2; lbut it's only connected to the headset
23:37 XRevan86; Which I also no longer use because later I got myself a digital microphone.
23:37 schestowitz_TR2; I had one 21 years ago when I wanred to hook up the computer to two amplification systems at once
23:37 DaemonFC; They advertise it as a headphone splitter, but you can reverse it as well and turn one Aux In port into two.
23:37 XRevan86; DaemonFC: There are combined jacks.
23:37 XRevan86; Sure, that can work as both an in/in splitter and an out/out splitter.

23:46 XRevan86; MinceR: Ye realised your mistake just in time.
23:48 DaemonFC; Cables have better audio than Bluetooth, unless you're using a Sony receiver that's been made recently, and the transmitter supports LDAC as well.
23:48 DaemonFC; LDAC scales. Under decent connections, you'll have pretty good audio quality out of it.
23:49 DaemonFC; SBC @ 384k is like, oh, MP3 @ 128k. It's not a good way to stream, especially since what you're streaming is probably already lossy encoded anyway.
23:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, I likened using SBC and Bluetooth to converting a WMA file to MP3 because Microsoft had another music store fail and it was the only way to keep your music (with the intermediate step being burn a CD you don't even want and kill the planet).
23:50 DaemonFC; But it's generational loss.
23:50 DaemonFC; It's like encoding a JPEG to a really low quality second JPEG.
23:50 DaemonFC; You can do it. It won't look good.
23:51 DaemonFC; No encoder is really designed with the assumption that it's already working with at least 1 generation of loss.
23:51 XRevan86; DaemonFC: SBC-XQ exists though.
23:51 XRevan86; So it's not a codec problem, it's just capped by manufacturers for complicated reasons.
23:52 XRevan86; My Bluetooth headset can do AAC, and the latency is not too bad (like half a second), so good enough.
23:58 XRevan86; Unfortunately it falls apart at SBC-XQ and standard low-bitpool SBC is noticeably worse than AAC.
23:59 XRevan86; But it's all on the per-device basis.
