Yeah... I'm not sure about the quality being really better than competition. Tho maybe Linux support may be better depending on what components different laptops use.

It can be a pre-planned trade. However they also could have waited for the shares to be sold then make the announcement.

Who knows. I'm not here as a judge.

Equalizer APO + Peace equalizer (as the interface) + AutoEq (for the automatic equalization).

It allows to change do advanced and automatic equalization on audio devices, being audio outputs or inputs as mics.

AutoEq is the automatic part. It is more focused on Headphones/earbuds/iems presets. It's an automatic tool trying to equalize measured (by a compatible reviewer source, which is already in the database) headset to match the target the user wants, Then export a file for the software someone uses (peace for example).

As a common preset, the harman over-ear 2018/in-ear (depending on the device) is pretty good, but other presets are available too.

Sure with the budget, space, and maybe even enough noise isolation or when you can get open headphones...

But how much would a good enough studio headphone cost? Because from what I understand from studio headphones it's perfectly calibrated headphones?

Now image your someone without the proper budget to get 1k$ headphones, and no space for open sound. what would you buy?

Maybe beyerdynamic? But for me the clamp force is too high.

Akg? They are cheap, but damn it was impossible for me to wear the akg371 as they were too shallow and had no protection for the driver plastic, and the way they were build made sure I had holes for the sound to get out...

Sadly audio is very subjective, on comfort, space, and sound.

Well, not being able to travel through a system like in elite dangerous or other games, no man's sky mentioned in the there (seemless transition between planet and space), is a bit disappointing.

The rest of the game seems a bit between mixed and great from the summaries in the article.

A more in detail look at each review would be needed to understand where the game lacks and where it would be good.

From the summary, for me, it would be likely that it could be interesting to try. But not for high expectation.

I don't know if that loophole may work. But if it does, it may work only for a time until a consumer association escalates that to the European court of justice.

There are malls, markets, things like that. These are just the front end for the customers to buy things, the retailer.

As you said there are centralisation behind. Either through the same company managing all those different malls, or through Wholesalers working in the background selling to a lot of retailers.

Here is an article on a book of a professor of philosophy and neural science about this subject :

The article is meh, but what is said in there is pretty much true.

Unregulated technology is something we have now : ai generation for example.

What is happening right now with the ai generation be text or image, is that they are the most privacy invasive thing there could be.

For example chatgpt/Bing chat, or Google bard. They take every bit of text, analyse it and use it for future prompts.

User do not know because it's too long to read their huge privacy policy.

And so people are puting in those prompts private elements, trade secrets, and elements they should not put in there.

Image generation is currently a huge copyright issue.

Worldcoin deployed balls, installed like art in multiple cities, with a camera to scan the eyeballs (and so their identity, as it seems to be unique for each person) of every person who just gazes into that lens. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/worldcoin-orb-ai-2341500

So non regulated tech is a huge anti-people / pro money mess.

For brain interfaces it may even be worse. Companies could just put ads in your brain directly, and everything that was described in that article.

I saw a little part of a movie some long time ago, no idea what it was. There was some brain interface allowing communication and displaying images.

When just enabled it was a huge mess adverts everywhere, noise ads, so bad that it would make that character unable to think and know what he wanted to do.

In order to get back into what he had to do he had to use dampener to remove all those ads and noise, all the mess.

And the first part with so much noise that we cannot do anything from our own will is what will happen for non regulated brain interface after enough people have adopted it.

And we may not have such brain "ad blocking" tech as in the movie.

Well it's not magic at least https://worldcoin.org/blog/engineering/opening-orb-look-inside-worldcoin-biometric-imaging-device

It's not a 360 camera. People have to be able to look at the dark spot where the glass for the cameras are.

[-] Tibert@compuverse.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Not entirely true for LCD. Some LCD displays have zones. And each zone with it's back-light.

If a zone is completely dark (not grey or without even a single white pixel), the back-light will shut off.

However on phones, it is mostly a single zone.

Well there are multiple sides to this. There isn't a single it's good or bad.

Reddit got very popular, and the upvote/down vote was a part of it.

A very useful thing of this feature, is the ability to hide trash and get good content more views.

However the community isn't perfect, and some types of content can win over others, and often that winning content isn't useful, as it's just jokes or "funny" content.

If you were to sort by controversial in the reddit comments, and communities, you'll often find trash and useless content. Comments or posts alike. However it's. Not always the case, and sometimes legitimate content just gets down voted because people did not understand it or were just against that opinion.

In my opinion, if reddit were to remove the impact of the up votes/down votes and just put things as random, the content would be horrible with trash everywhere. But the little accounts may have a bit more chance to get up votes.
