    No way the estimate is real for Tbilisi. For €1047/mo you'd be living like a king there. Especially with post-Covid prices.

    It's kind of vague and hit-and-miss though, even on non-NUC systems ASRock not always supports ECC. Supposedly it's because of AMD's (lack of) clarity about the matter (according t…

    I don't know. I'd argue that if the production process is influenced by the loudness war, then it too becomes part of the loudness war. For example, a technique of masking distorti…

    Right, I was referring to this attack as a whole.

    If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time deep fake technology has been used to carry out a disinformation attack on politicians. I wonder if the actual video conferences have be…

    What CPU are you running it on and how many cores are being used? Are you also in really large rooms like Techlore and Matrix HQ? Because I think I'm in all of the largest rooms (a…

    Yes, but IMO the Matrix team should _really_ focus on Dendrite since Synapse is extremely resource hungry and prevents a lot of people (including me) from running their own servers…

    As someone who likes to make music with (analog) synthesizers, I understood some of those words!

    I see this as a missed opportunity by not including independent artists that release their music licensed under Creative Commons. Imagine offering an option to switch to only CC mu…

    I long for the day I can build a Mini-ITX laptop. I think it's doable considering you don't go for a dedicated GPU, but alas... the documentation on that is not abundant and I do n…

    AFAIK it's only capable of 14 bit resolutions for things like modwheel. CC can only have 128 values, right? Also, isn't it safe to say that by the nature of USB MIDI interfaces, th…

    I'm not overtly familiar with MIDI 2.0, but from what I've heard it does fix most of the issues of the old MIDI. However, if you transport your messages over DIN ports, all bets ar…

    MIDI has the limitation of only having a maximum of 7 bit resolution of continuous control of a parameter. Not only that, but it's not trivial to combine with DAWs because of jitte…
