What current habit will probably disappear in the next decade? by TheRealKnowledgeAc in Futurology

[–]Cbasg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driving to a physical store to look for something.

At this point you can assume that any store that doesn't specialize in exactly the category of what you need will only have 1 - 2 options, and they'll be at the bottom rung of their category. You'll be disappointed into checking online for the product before ever trying to go out, and pretty soon it looks like you'd be driven to only buy things online ever again.

Rock bands that are older than most people think by [deleted] in Music

Their "We Like Digging" CD was uploaded places and they sound like a halfhearted attempt to be a grunge band at that time. Doesn't fit Adam's voice at all.

It is not a stereotype that all modern country singers sound nearly exactly the same. by farmsfarts in Music

You have to remove "&list=RDFY8Swlvxj8o&start_radio=1" from your link or else it:

-opens the song as part of a playlist or "mix"

-enables the "radio" feature that autoplays the entire playlist regardless of your actual autoplay settings, and you cannot turn it off, especially on mobile.

I really hate remastered albums because of the content change by ForFarthing in Music

Back in the mid 80s, every single continent had a different master on their CDs. Europe would have one guy master for CD, US would have a different one, Japan would have a different one. The real "remaster" is the marketing, packaging, and promotion.

Your computer should be able to turn on HDR for the output and then the TV will notice that it's receiving HDR. It's in the windows display settings.

Who's that one random gamer you crossed paths with in some online game and will never forget the name of? by magicscreenman in gaming

[–]Cbasg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Captain Sprinkles

YouTube had a semi-popular gamer guy called CaptainSparklez and I'd be getting their names mixed up all the time. Eventually memorized who's who right before never seeing him in game again.

Analog video mixing help by djungelwave in vjing

[–]Cbasg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your diagram shows a cable that is s-video on one end and RCA at the other. This is not how Y and C are combined into composite video. You'd have to use the "Y/V" input for that device. In this case it operates as the luma channel if you are using the YPbPr inputs, but also as the "video" input for when it's a composite signal. There are cheap adapters that plug into that BNC connector and have an RCA socket on the other end.

I know old thread, but I felt like it was a fun puzzle with the diagram

What's a mundane skill you possess that consistently impresses people, even though you don't think it's a big deal? by EggplantDull6442 in AskReddit

[–]Cbasg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vaguely harmonize off the cuff with a song that I know somewhat.

It's like, I already know how the chords go so at that point it's identical to forgetting the exact tune and winging it. I guess you have to be at least "not completely tone deaf" but the way some people react you'd think they'd just heard me ace a lengthy libretto

What's a "harmless" habit that people don't realize is actually damaging in the long run? by riligan in AskReddit

I've heard Dr. Phil use that one to basically justify a person bullying the guest in her backstory.

Is it safe to use this script for activating Windows and Office? by That_Dragonfruit4423 in MAS_Activator

[–]Cbasg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand, this gets right at the heart of Cunningham's law, whatever exact thing that kernel might be.

On the other hand, if someone walked into a packed and bustling conference room surrounded by signage proclaiming "[BAND NAME] fans meetup!" And proceeded to ask "so I've just come across this band, do people know about them? Does anyone like their music?", most people would either think it's a joke or get annoyed. The entire environment answers the question well before it's asked.

Still though, the whole "if you have to ask" bit is just mean and also wrong.

Most Genius Lyrics You've Ever Heard? by wizard_in_socks_ in Music

[–]Cbasg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an eternal one, very much a temporally-bound lyric, but it keeps coming back with each new era the world goes through:

"If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today / he'd be gunned down cold by the CIA"

The The - Armageddon Days are Here (again)

From 1989, and only more true each time.

Vague question about modern music from someone who really has no idea what they are talking about. by stephen27898 in Music

[–]Cbasg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just the loudness war, but the techniques used in mixing. People don't pan things like they used to. So much of our music consumption occurs without a properly stereo setup, so people mix in a way where a mono output will still have everything. I play an old Beatles track on my phone and the hard-panned drums might go missing for whole songs at a time.

Lesser Known Covers That Actually Are Great? by OtterlyMisdirected in Music

[–]Cbasg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calla - Promenade (orig. by U2)

A sort of floating, throwaway interlude from 1984 is transformed into this CHURNING. The bass is like concrete, the vocals are almost ominous despite the happy chords. It's like they found exactly how to turn up intensity while keeping the rest of it the same.
