Thanks for "Helping us understand" via Columbo's timeless wisdom. ;-)

I'm in charge of IT for a 120 person org, anything that's a barrier to copying and pasting passwords just encourages simple password re-use, and the dreaded "laptop festooned with password Post-Its".


Looking through the GitHub and the AudioScienceReview link - this appears to be specifically about firmware features. You'd need to ensure that hardware inputs on device have input impedance of at least 250Kohms, probably closer to 1Megohm to prevent loading and signal loss if plugging guitar right in. I'd also assume (didn't see confirmation) that I/O is at line level, which is significantly higher than instrument (passive guitar) level, but this device can clearly add/adjust gain along the way. If you use active pickups with a built-in preamp like EMGs, it would probably work just fine.

Makes me think of Enya's Orinoco Flow...Sail Away, Sail Away, Sail Away!

We have a double-boiler Profitec, but I imagine the Go is just as good for its price point. My wife is an espresso fiend, and with this machine it's the first time in our decades together that we can truly make cafe-quality espresso at home. Probably goes without saying, but: be sure to invest in a high-quality burr grinder, makes as big a diff as the espresso machine itself.

Also - regarding linked article's statement "PowerShell joins MSI files as another type that cannot be run as an administrator" - I have always just started a PowerShell/Terminal app as administrator which has more or less the same effect, though of course everything in that session is run with elevated permissions.

I don't even fully understand what the article means with that regarding MSI.

Windows Installer will elevate automatically (i.e. prompt with UAC if needed) if you're administrator. Or you as you say you open a command prompt as administrator and run the MSI with msiexec.


Did he ever book shows as Chris Gaines (his alt-rock alter ego) in that timeframe?

Let's commission Alan Smithee to make the documentary! ;-)

I've definitely noticed a huge increase in tangential slop when I've made the mistake of searching for books on Amazon in the last year.


I experience the same, I feel like it has something to do with the content of a book having a permanent spatial configuration.

Wow, this is very cool, I have been looking for the Phish show at Lounge Ax from November 1990 (opening for Alex Chilton of Big Star) for ages. It was first time I saw them live, and next time they came around they graduated from a 300 person club to a 3000 person ballroom!

Me too, as soon as I saw this I put on my Anker Soundcore noise-cancelling earbuds and fired up my AAS Multiphonics CV-3 software synthesizer. Sweeping a sine oscillator, there was zero difference in perceived volume in the 750-780 Hz range.
