And online they are like: "Capitalism! Let's fight capitalism!",— how about we get to that when you're at least paying for your own beers, you cheap rascal! 😏

Bastards are really good at concealing their wealth! You invite your Fedi friend out to have a couple of beers, they arrive in their Plymouth Superbird and you're like: "Where did you even get that thing?!",— but they are: "Hey, bro, can you lend me some? I'll pay you back as soon as that gun shipment to Congo gets through".
OMG, it's Congo, not Belarus, no one ever checks what gets shipped there — what is even their problem? At least could've come up with a better excuse 🤷

@kaia
And then you realise that all your Fedi friends are secretly millionaires and are subscribed to your OnlyFans just to support you because they really like that Lain tattoo 🤭

And most Firewire devices — the card I've posted earlier today included, with the exception of the most compact devices like web cams, can act as hubs two: they usually have two ports, you can use either one to connect the device itself and the other one to daisy-chain another device.

@newt
Good! Firewire interfaces of this class don't require external power either, unless you're using Sony's port variant branded i.LINK — it's the most compact, think mini-USB sized, but provides no power at all.

@newt
It sucks! Well, I suppose having just the basic features is still better than your advanced device not working at all.
Won't it switch back on losing power though?

@newt
Is it the same as with input devices: it's in some generic mode for this class of devices with only the basic features and to use the more advanced ones you have to do the actual bringup?

@newt
Why did you not make sure it works properly before buying it? 🤔

@vriska
Rain me a sauce. Tabasco preferably 😄

@kaia
Some do have audio, but every time someone posts video with audio, I have to switch the amplifier to a different input — most of the time I do not bother and just ignore it, same reason I never listen to voice messages.
When I post videos myself and it's not a scene from some show, but something like cat being funky, I just cut the audio track myself — it's probably just me making weird noises and doesn't make the video more funny, but it does increase its size, so why keep it? 🤷

@icon_of_computational_sin
Yeah, your wording confused me a bit:
> Itanium, which was Alpha's replacement. VLIW is a truly cursed technology
One might think that Itanium was somehow a successor to AXP in a way that it's the continuation of same ideas/design, which it wasn't 🤷

But I do care and I do know: I use no version of Chrome 🤭

He likes grunge, but Mark Lanegan is already dead and he thought that going out with Eddie Vedder would be too much 🤪

@newt
…and when in addition to having to listen to the same shit again and again
you have to listen to constant fan noise, it's usually driving me insane 🤪
You're right, the computers got even more powerful, so it's probably not that bad now, but I have my doubts — with audio the nature of workload is different, even if you're using only 30% of your CPU's computing power, it's still constant and the fans would kick in sooner or later and never go out 🤷

@newt
Not that they are lacking in terms of raw computing power, you could do mixing of a rather complex project even on the early i7 easily, it's more about lacking efficient cooling — unlike photo and even video processing, when you do something that requires relatively little computing power and then start rendering — this is when the fans kick in, but you no longer care, with audio the workload is constant…

@newt
Fair, but this thing is two decades old already.
Personally, I've never seen the point in using sampling rates higher than 48 kHz on these mobile interfaces — when you really need that you would probably be at the studio anyway, using a better interface with better mic pre-amps instead of ones integrated into these — and a better computer instead of a laptop which would probably be struggling working with the project at higher sample rates and making noises.
