I cleaned my office and found the restring kit for the AT8441 shock-mount. Five years ago I used a pony-tail hair band as a workaround.
Spotify user for years. Dumped 'em for Tidal last year. Three-month special at Spotify so I re-up and have 'em both. Doing an A/B compare. Same song full-tilt quality set on both. Which sounds better?
And I am blown away, and I think, Those bastards at Spotify are saving bandwidth by dramatically reducing the stereo separation (you can save bandwidth by streaming L+R and L-R and then skimping on the L-R channel width.)
Who the hell is giving @ElonMusk advice on the complexities of running a real-time unedited mass medium? The story of Felicien Kabunga funding Rwandan radio station RTLM would have short-circuited his jet debacle. Reynolds v. Pegler would have tempered his free speech absolutism.
There's a lot wrong with mass media. Way up there is what Don Henley described in "Dirty Laundry" as "kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down." The pressure to find a new angle on a story you've already taught usually leads to revealing as devil the god you exalted.
No matter how much we improve our web graphical communication, a little tweaking shows there's always room for improvement.
If you Google-translate the English lyrics of Cole Porter's "Anything Goes" into Chinese, and then translate that back again to English, all the occurrences of "Anything Goes" come back as, "Whatever..."
Absolutely amazed that @PNCbank has been told for years that security-conscious users resent their app demanding access to nearly everything including their photos yet PNC has done nothing to address it besides "pass [the concern] along."
