Was obviously joking but not I'm curious about Intel graphics chips. For cutting edge performance I would obviously go with Nvidia or Radeon. But if I want something good enough (and available) Intel doesn't seem so bad. They also don't make cards so DIY could be viable.

But this is faaaaar too much work

@Cspirou Intel actually do have a discreet video card. The Iris Xe DG1. Gamers Nexus have some solid coverage if you'd like to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSseaknEv9Q

@Sqveak Scooped! Haha apparently Intel's discrete card is targeting the lower-end, productivity-focused group so Pokemon Ruby and Emerald are still safe. Can't recall if they plan to release it on its own but it's stuck with prebuilt systems for now IIRC

Don't you mean /outputs/ ?

@Thad E Ginathom - Yeaaah. I was thinking about plugging it in

I figured. An input is where one inputs the plug :)

I found it! I just remembered seeing these guys on my IG a few weeks ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHJvsQMCXZ/

Wonder why they ended up at an off white fashion show

He takes better care of his body. RF and RN have been too hard on themselves, extending their peak performance and it is costing them. Thing is, RF and RN had a great run and their tennis was awesome. RF had finesse, RN had power.

I'm kind of surprised how long Nadal has lasted with the way he's played. It's the kind of style that requires extreme athleticism. Withdrawing from Wimbledon and the Olympics shows that's it's catching up to him.

I still think at their peak that Federer or Nadal would beat Djokovic at his absolute best. But the numbers Djokovic has are really impressive

Should be great. Teams most evenly matched.

I promised my son before he went to bed that Italy would win in the penalty shoot out

@mitochondrium - i knew italy would win in penalties because the Italian goalie is much better.

England definitely chocked though

So he tastes with numbers as Amir hears with numbers.

Is this the guy who wrote the expensive, multi-volume book on science in cookery? I've only read /about/ it. Sounds much tastier than Amir.

@Thad E Ginathom - yeah, at least he knows how to cook. But he also has trash opinions like Texas BBQ and NY pizza aren't all that great

If squash is an option, start slow. Squash is very technical and you can still serve.

@JustAnotherRando - holy shit!

Please don't hold up any signs. But if you must, face THE PELOTON!

in my location there was a guy with a sign that said "f**k OPI OMI"

Not a single Beats to be seen

Do Beats wired headphones exist anymore?

@Merrick - i found this for $130. Honestly seems reasonably priced

Especially if their HTTP referer contains audiosciencereview

Awesome. About time we made track a little more interesting.

Been around for decades in track cycling, it's called Devil Takes The Hindmost or Miss and Out. It's common in 6 Day events held over the winter.

@ergopower - yeah, I think it's really popular in Japan. Which makes sense that this particular even is in Australia.

I've worked with 40KHz ultrasound for a levitator project. A buddy of mine stuck his head in front of the radiators. Didn't have a good day...

@nishan99 - I don't exactly know but at this price point I highly doubt there's a single BA in it

best not to play mqa with wireless earbuds

My exuberant dogs suggest otherwise. I caught my 21 inch iMac just before it fell off the desk. My dog had looped the power cord around his neck.

@Cryptowolf - this is the new iMac just announced. It says the power plug has magnets in it.

No idea if it means it's easy to detach

Been so for a while. Car makers have been idling production lines as they wait for chips. Saw something about 90% of chips made in Asia. Perhaps we need to start making more here (US) again. I remember big Intel and On Semi plants in PHX when I lived there, wonder if they are still going.

Intel chips are actually still made in Portland. I had a quite a few friends from grad school work there. Texas Instruments probably does some chips components in Dallas but not sure how much.

It has affected even car manufacturing. Although, not Toyota - https://jalopnik.com/toyota-prepared-for-the-chip-shortage-years-ago-why-di-1846641653

And the “remaster” or “reissue” game where the new release is measurably worse than the original.

I'd be on board with remasters that were truly better than the originals. Like Vapor Trails Remixed which (mostly) fixed the horrid mastering of the original, or some of the Steven Wilson remixes of Yes or Jethro Tull. But that's not what we usually get.

At this point even the remastering gimmick has mostly been replaced by expansive deluxe sets that try to sell higher priced, higher margin items to a smaller loyal fan base.

One of the frustrating things for me was people saying they could hear the difference in amps and yet we never measure them the way we subjectively evaluate them.

That is pretty cool and significant if you ask me - I wonder if this test does not deserve its own thread. I should say I don't know who Joseph Crowe is or does.

@crenca - Joseph Crowe is a former automotive engineer turned speaker manufacturer. Before he started making speakers he started a blog detailing his projects.

What I really like about him is that he takes good measurements and simulates all of his designs. He likes horns and full-range drivers too.

Using a guitar as a knob... Hmmm...

Plenty of leverage, I suppose.
