Buy a used Braun A1/A2 amp (100-200$). There are maintenance handbooks online for both. Replace the two main condensators, which cost about 10-20$ each. Buy a pair of Canton GLE 200 or their presuccessors (100-350$). They didn’t change much in the last 20 years. Still very good, neutral and enough bass for a small living room. Hook your Technics 1200 MK2/5 (1000$) with an all round needle (100$) to the Phono-In Cinch connectors. Select your favorite vinyl from your collection, put it on the plate of the 1200. Move the arm on the first track of the vinyl. Enjoy completely analog music without distractions. The A1 boots in under 100ms, so does the Technics 1200. Total costs 1670$. Beats any Sonos etc. setup in sound quality and convenience.

Disclaimer: I have booth systems in parallel and I feel disgusted and disappointed every time I have to use the Sonos system now.

It looks like supervisord had it last release in December 2022. GitHub issue for a new release are not answered: https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor/issues/1635#issue-2... The original author seems to have moved on to NixOS.

It took me 3 retries. I’ve forgotten how to strafe and just moved a bit to the right…

I‘ll chime in and recommend The Futurological Congress by Stanislaw Lem. Not really hard sci fi, but very entertaining and fun to read!

The impact and duration of the Roman Empire is really significant in this geographical timeline.

If you need a machine and don’t buy it, then you will ultimately find that you have paid for it and don’t have it. (Henry Ford)

I tried the steps on the page and they are outdated. The ONNX tab is gone. More from the maintainer on the update: https://github.com/lshqqytiger/stable-diffusion-webui-amdgpu...

A possible DIY way is to use a e-ink display connected to a Raspberry Pi and build a script to display content stored on a usb-stick connected to the USB-Port of the Raspi.

It is absolutely worth it! The Visionect display require a subscription to run properly: https://www.visionect.com/software/ . 60 Euro / year to run a display that I paid almost 1k for is not for private use.

I guess that's why the price for the 32 inch display is so high, the subscription is priced in.

There are cheaper e-ink displays by Waveshare. e.g. the WaveShare 13.3inch e-Paper e-Ink Display HAT For Raspberry Pi for 500€. You can build a box to house the display and the Raspberry Pi for under 100€… Add some scripts to download and display the news PDF and you can enjoy it for 1/4 of the price…

I've just tried `Simon and Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson` as the search input and the results are really compelling and interesting! Keep on the good work. I might use it to find new tracks for my daily playlist and dj sets!

The most expensive Walkman is 3699$ (nwwm1zm2) https://electronics.sony.com/audio/audio-components/hi-res-a...

Here is the beta app for Apple TV: https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin

It‘s a bit unstable for me, so I switched to the web app on my iPad and beam it with AirPlay to my Apple TV.

I‘ve bought a ten less US layout qwerty keyboard (Keychron K3) for my programming work. There is a neat feature on macOS to type ‘Umlaute’. Just long press vowels and you can choose from all possible variations of the vowel. I’ve also build a custom Helidox Corne keyboard, but couldn’t learn the new typing system… (https://thomasbaart.nl/2018/11/26/corne-keyboard-helidox-bui...)

I've read through half of the comments and still didn't read the most obvious reasons why SE or CS is much more in demand:

* You can change software much faster than hardware

* You can customize software exactly to your needs in hours, depending on the skill of the SE even in minutes

* You can use hardware in ways beyond the initial purpose by changing the software

Build them a PC with Linux to learn what you have learned about it. And buy a PS5 for Fortnite. Other popular games are released cross platform anyways. Consoles are much easier to handle in the long run. Their business model is less intrusive…

Our Company used Cordova to develop mobile apps for field technicians. And now we use almost the same code base to deploy it to the Desktop with Electron. The experience with Electron is very decent so far! The docs for Electron Builder could be a bit better though!

This is the solution I would recommend to ClearView to stay in business.

Either they don’t have the expertise to distribute enterprise apps or their clients are not capable of maintaining a MDM software and an Apple Enterprise Account. The latter really bugs me though. It implies that e.g. police officers can install any software on their work devices if they wanted too, which might endanger citizens because of possible data leaks by device loss or hacks. With a MDM you can wipe sensitive data remotely and separate private data from work relevant data.

We distribute our business apps as unsigned xcarchives and our clients resign them with their Enterprise Certificates and Provisioning Profile and this can distribute them as they like.

A colleague just switched from a game development company to our gig, which is selling Field Service Management Software which integrates with SAP. So we talked a bit about the differences and I hope this answers your second question.

1. Constant Updates/Upgrades Most games are a one time effort with some patches and maybe a add on and if it’s really successful a sequel. Business Software runs for years in a company and needs to be supported. So the customer needs to sign a service contract besides the initial payment and licenses. Games are usually a one time buy. Exceptions are MMOs. Game companies noticed this mishap and are trending to service games now, which would create a steady inflow of money from loyal customers.

2. Complexity It depends on what the game company focuses on. If you only build games, you need to master a game engine or build your own. It doesn’t need to be customizable if it stays in your company. With ERP software you need a lot of configuration switches and cover a lot of similar but not same use cases. A standard product is almost never bought my businesses. They want you to build something for THEIR process. So what SAP did is maximize on this need and they built so many customizations, that you need special training to even begin to understand one of their modules. ERP is definitely more complex in the realm of more stuff to learn and to remember to get it right.

In terms of complexity defined as difficult I can’t really tell because of my lack of experience with game development. But I guess mastering a game engine is difficult, but less “complex” than ERP software.

Funny side note: I did a SAP training one and half years ago at their HQ in Walldorf, Germany. And they own pretty much the small town. There were so many foreigners in town to visit SAP. The SAP campus had the same size as the town :)

The best FPS game you can play right now is Escape From Tarkov. There is no other game that captures the fear of screen death and the adrenalin rush that you get, when you escape with your precious loot so well. The overall game loop is very addictive though...
