Also, if they're not the same recording, they're not the same album, which means that the popularity of any individual album is split. Contracts get better the better an album does on the charts, but if you release the same album three times, you're competing against yourself.

Your experience matches the claims in the article: the slowdown isn't in adoption, but in capabilities. The article discusses how the last few years of "just throw more processing at it" has hit diminishing returns across the board. The article suggests that this pause is a great time for businesses to catch their breath and figure out what to do about the current tech, whether they've been waiting to adopt or are concerned about competing.

The Dewalt recommendation is pretty strong. The router needs to be the right size to be clamped into the machine. There are some people on the forums who have had luck adapting a proper CNC cutting head, but you won't find that down at your local hardware store.

Shaper Origin took a genius approach. There's very little movement of the cutting head, and the machine itself is moved by the person. You get the precision of CNC, without the complexity of moving a machine that is heavy enough to push a cutter through wood over an uneven surface

Probably the first version. It can still be mounted vertical... well, close to vertical.

Not sure which English you are referencing, but "Filing for bankruptcy" only means the legal/literal definition, at least in my 40+ years in the PNW. "Declare Bankruptcy" tends to be used more colloquially...

Regardless of the intent, it is a misleading rewording of the original article title.

The subscription pays tidal, but tidal only pays out based on usage... The artist gets about $0.01 per stream.

The best way to support artists is to purchase albums the week they're released... Sales numbers are a key metric when labels decide touring and investment in the next album... Could mean a better studio or more resources...

If you are committed to the download off of tidal strategy, then please make a playlist of the tracks you download and play it overnight... Otherwise, none of your money supports the artists you listen to.

No, making an album private does not disappear the music from people who have purchased it.

However, Bandcamp does abide by the laws that require them to stop distributing music at the rights holders' request.

No music service, or any service, for that matter, will guarantee access to files without regard to laws. Some will try harder, some have tried harder and been beaten down.

"Fun Fact", 7digital is owned by the same parent company as Bandcamp.

I agree that the iMac needs to be usable as a monitor. Both Dell and HP all-in-ones that I looked at do this (I did not do an exhaustive search, so it may not be as common as my 'look at two' makes it sound, but it's not UN-common)

However, let's be real clear, iMac is not a mid-range desktop, price-wise. Amazon's all-in-one category's HIGHEST non-apple price in the top-10 is $599. There are three non-apple all-in-ones over $1k in the top-50. [1]

Obviously, once we separate the pieces out, things become even more clear cut. You can buy the beefiest "mini-pc" from amazon and pair it with a 28" or 32", flat or curved 4k monitor for $200-400 and still have money left over.

The iMac is NOT high-end, but it is luxury, and that's an important distinction.

Definitely constrained by my 16gb, it's only 2 years old. Rubymine takes 4gb on it's own, Chrome eats a lot... I'm usually hovering around 10gb of swap.

My first LCD monitor is still actively used in our house, about 18 years old now. My mother has gone through several computers, kept the same screen for 15 years. Apple Consumers are not "Average Consumers". Starting at $1300, it's a luxury desktop.

That's not how music gets paid out. You have the label, publisher and PRO/CMO. The actual amounts depend on both where the purchaser is at the time of purchase and where the payouts go to.

There's a reason there are so few players, it's complicated once you go international. I would suggest going after the massive corpus of laws, but most are the to protect artists... they just do it in very different ways, and often pre-date the Internet.

it ships both app stores on every android phone. In my experience, people only use the Samsung store by accident

Heh, I mentioned this to my wife a while back, she said that we've had a pair of shoes since our first (of three) that had never been worn, and that shoes at our second hand store are often labeled that way. Turns out, baby shoes are aesthetic only, baby's feet aren't really foot-shaped yet so they're hard to put on, and if they're moving, they're crawling, and shoes make it impossible to use their feet while crawling. The shoes were either a gift, or something she bought before the baby was born... So that story made her think of the naivety of pre-parents and chuckle, I had to explain why people found it sad, and her response was "those people have never tried to put baby shoes on a baby".

Which is to say, I think that her take makes this even more apt response... the people getting sad about this have never tried to put a rover on the moon.

Apple doesn't react because you feel something. Apple estimates, based on the kinematics it recreates from it's camera feed, when something happens. It is NOT looking for a visual gap between fingers to disappear, as this would require an exactly correct camera angle.

> Controllers and rings provide no benefit over Apple's approach.

This is the problem with fanboi-ism... the hyperbole is so clearly false. Let me list the ways that controllers are better: - Typing/Chording - Cheaper - More efficient, no cameras pointing at things the user can't see. No continuous video processing. - No dead zones where the camera can't see. - Accuracy. For all but a few camera angles, Apple has to guess when you're fingers make contact. it works best with bigger movements, but the bigger the movement, the longer that movement takes. There's a reason no big-name competitive games have been ported over. - Actual haptic feedback. Play Horizon: Forbidden West on PS5 to understand just what haptics can communicate to you... it's so much more than tapping your fingers together.

Apple's approach is amazing, and it's good for the use cases that Apple tells you are important... but there's so much more than that. You're doing a disservice to Apple by going full fanboi.

only the owner of the copyright can make you change, however, being able to search for articles, tutorials, bugs, solutions, etc will be easier if you give it something unique

There are non-glass backings that work with wireless charging. It's not either/or.

How about "I can't control the volume through the Mac if my audio goes to a digital output, like HDMI".

My monitor has audio out, which I plug into speakers... both have their own volume, but I'd rather use keyboard controls, but I can't, OSX disables volume control completely.

Also, you can't have a window span monitors. It only appears on the monitor that has >50%.

Links opened from non browsers open in the window physically closest to the opening app (ish). If you run chrome with multiple profiles, you can't just expect the most recently used window to open the link, you must position the window with the profile you want to use overlapping the other browser, often requiring me to drag a window fully to the other monitor (because windows can't span monitors).

OSX is the worst window manager ever created. There are states you can get into with your mouse that you can't reverse without a obscure key combo. Window snapping took how long, and it's still the worst. you can't make a window be as big as it can be without making it full screen.

It's just the worst.

I've been told I can fix all of these things... if I buy 10 different $10 apps.

Not sure you watched the whole video, he shows how soil migration causes failure (7:30), links to another video that covers that in-depth and discusses how geotextile isn't enough for things like damns (10:15). He also mentions that you can get pipe with holes all the way around (5:58).

To be clear, "Jewish" can describe a person's religion, culture, or genetics, and other traits if you want to dip into stereotypes. It's definitely possible to be just one and not the others.

So... what WILL help america compete with China? (without playing the same game) How could the US build out a competitive drone industry with chinese manufacturers able to cut price because the Chinese government will cover the gap?

Drones are not yet an "essential" piece of technology for the country as a whole. We're currently at "cutting ourselves off at the toe" territory... in a few years we'd be even more dependent and legislation like this would be catastrophic. Better now than in the 2026.

Depends on what you consider the "problem". As Congress sees it, the problem is two-fold... You have no control over your data. The company that does have control over your data is beholden to a foreign country not currently considered "a close ally".

in my experience, payment processors charge $.30 - $.50 + 2.X% per transaction (for credit cards). No other monthly fees required, though they'll gladly sell you some.

You definitely don't need an engineer dedicated to monetary transaction flows. We use Braintree and haven't had an engineer touch it more than once a year in the past 4 years.

if you want to go engineering free, shopify has subscription plugins that can handle everything for $20-$80/month...

I feel like your comment is from 10+ years ago, back before competition led to payment processors becoming a commodity... has it been a while since you've looked?

I know a red badge director (10-15 years) at Amazon who dipped well below 500k due to the last 4 years of stock prices. Though this recent climb has been great for their morale.

In my experience, they're actually playing a super high frequency gradient and it's listening for the echo/feedback. It's how they do hearing tests on newborns too.

Please explain how you think it's dangerous.

I asked my boomer mother about whether she'd have liked to have had a gps on me when I was a kid in the 80s. She said she would have loved it. she worked until 5 and there was no "after school care" in our small town... she kept our pantry full of chips and soda and our video games new so that we'd be home when she got home, rather than out somewhere else with our friends.

To her, the lack of near constant panic attacks would be a godsend, and she wouldn't have felt so bad about using video games as childcare.

As a parent, my concern isn't about my kid being abducted... an air tag in their pocket would be more discreet. It's about letting them explore with a safety net. Go for longer bike rides, knowing that if it gets too dark, I can pick them up... that's not risk averse.

The level of risk for every generation has been dramatically lower since the 1920s. Both of my parents lost an older sibling... loss happened at the family level in the 50s. in the 80s, I maybe had one or two kids in my class that had experienced loss... a tractor accident or gun accident... but now there's been one child that died in the past three years at my son's school.

Risk had bigger consequences 60 years ago. Our kids are better off for it.

Yes.

According to various sites, the Mediatek Dimensity 6100+ is a 6nm update to a core that was released 3 years ago (Dimensity 700 on a 7nm). It's 5-10% faster, likely due to the update from 7 to 6nm, as the cores are the same and run at the same speed. It contains an updated bluetooth chipset (from 5.1 to 5.2) and supports a larger max camera. The camera on the A15 is well below the max size of the previous chipset, however, the increased camera bandwidth should ensure that the camera feels snappier (a common complaint on low-end phones). The process improvement should increase efficiency as well, however, there are not benchmarks that are able to test this.

You're absolutely right, I'm so glad that Apple was the first company to release a phone with a touch screen, or a phone with an app store, or a smart watch or a VR headset.

Apple doesn't release new products, they wait until the actual brave and innovating companies have done the exploration and then capitalize on all of their learnings. Because they are never the first movers and they have mountains of cash, they're able to enter the market without the baggage of early adopters. They don't have to worry about maintaining their early prototypes.

Apple doesn't innovate or show leadership, they wait until the innovators have proven that the market is big enough to handle Apple, then they swoop in with a product that combines the visions of the companies that were competing.

Apple is great at what they do, don't get me wrong. And swooping in when the market is right is just good business. Just don't mistake that for innovation or leadership.
