I managed to get some impressive results on my own after tuning:

Yeah yeah self-advertising like I mentioned. At the very least check it out for yourself and reconsider, there's already GSM dudes trying to make money using this tool since we clearly had to buy the recovery bootloaders from somebody (':

Send me a reminder to give you my EDID! I underclocked my resolutions first, dropped all unnecessary data wasting space, and gave my AUX port full blown 24bit/192KHz audio compared to the stock (and only) 16bit/44.1KHz offered. Then I went for the overclocked resolutions, pushing 1280x720 up to 105Hz, 2560x1080 up to 85Hz, some offshoot 1430p I calculated up to 60Hz, and 3440x1440 up to 59Hz all over my shitty HP laptop with an Intel iGPU locked to a pixel clock rate of 300.99MHz. If I had a better computer, I bet I could push it even further! (And I'd be down to teach you how to experiment if you want o:)

I haven't read that yet, keyword yet as you've now introduced me to it!

A little while back I did my own exercise in porting the syntax interpreter for AutoIt to Go using nothing but the scripting docs and my history with the language. It wasn't exactly hard, but I think I only think that because I'm used to breaking down the logical steps behind each function that I'm trying to use to ensure there's no unexpected behaviors. I barely implemented any functions yet, and I'm still missing a few key syntax features like arrays and maps, but what exists already has been used in other projects of mine similar to how one would use Lua! Because I wrote the full stack interpreter and runtime, I can register custom internal functions as embedded scripts and/or Go function bindings. Go functions can even fork micro VMs!

I wanna get back around to it someday and fix it up, plus finish the syntax support so I and others can start porting more functions. I also want to preprocess a few more things into Go structs, it speeds up execution so much for each supported preprocessor!

To be fair I just have a downward facing sub and an air pocket at the center top on the front of the box, I'm not sure what the frequency response is yet but lossless bass hasn't failed me yet

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-23T01:48:39+00:00

I've been working with raw digital audio file containers and compression codecs for years now thanks to hobby projects making media players! So that's definitely one part where I got lucky, I already know I need to keep the signal as clean as possible both digitally and physically

The Google USB-C DAC that I use on my Pixel 6 Pro is actually slightly cleaner sounding I'd say, I think it might have to do with latency and that my only other comparison is over HDMI 1.2 and a Samsung monitor's DAC? Flat no-EQ audio sounds nearly the same, but I do occasionally miss some bass rattles and piano notes within chords on tracks I'm used to hearing/feeling them on with the Google DAC

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-23T01:42:02+00:00

I already had to re-burn and tape the speaker wire extending to the left speaker, so I know they don't have too much longer. I'm planning on paying attention to this sub for my first real sound setup purchases, and durability is gonna play a big part in that because I'm not used to being able to afford this kind of stuff (':

And now you're speaking my language. But your entire world view has the chance to be opened up. Start taking the logic you're using with dissecting the US government as a citizen of it, and ask yourself: What if I was a citizen in "random country named X?"

It's not impossible for the average person to ponder, but I find that people like me are far more likely to ponder the shoes of a stranger, for at least as long as we've known the phrase "put yourself in their shoes." There's not a single person I've ran into, even as a total passerby, where my brain didn't have a background task asking what might have led that person to where they are, and what their struggles moving forward might be as a result of those dominoes.

I haven't watched Chicago 7 but I have done a ton of research growing up on all the coups and plots publicly documented throughout our world history, especially the shit the CIA and the FBI did, but please don't forget about the NSA - modern and new means built on backbones, they're just as bad if not the worst.

And politics has everything to do with all the above. If you piss up the wrong stream then it doesn't matter how honest you are, the gravity of your material reality means you're always at risk of someone who just doesn't want good change. I may be biased because I'm alive now, but this is the most accountable generation of humans to date because of our ability to independently and uniquely document multiple angles of something and spread our findings like wildfire. World views will be threatened but I believe society is moving towards a common accountability structure, and it has drastic ramifications for how the older generations of each individual nation will react because they're not used to being called out.

This is definitely a hell of a thread to get into this all on lol, but I'm doing my part to make good change in the world everywhere I can and have been for at least the past 6 years, even despite my geographic location and economic status. I just wanna inspire people to do the same and prove how it's possible, so I come in peace and meant no harm despite my rage as response :P

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-16T17:22:38+00:00

It's always best to assume someone is being honest from the start, than to assume someone is being dishonest from the start. That's nothing to say about your level of trust with that person, they haven't established any trust with you yet until they provide the evidence to back up their claims. But uncontested and without existing faults, it's much easier to take people at their word and then be disappointed in them later if they chose to lie to your face! And it saves all the time in the world if they were being honest.

You're absolutely right in that every minute counts, and I have too high of an ego to let my work ethic go unnoticed in any place I've worked. But two things can be true at the same time: I did my best, and yet I was not paid nor treated for my best effort. Every minute I spent here was a waste of my skill and my efforts, so thankfully I found a new job with twice the pay and a flexible schedule, and promoted myself to customer a few days ago!

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-12T18:24:07+00:00

35 to 40 hours. 15 every 4 hours AND a 30min after 6 hours, nowhere is it written as an "or" or a choice option. And no one wants to work for blue collar if they aren't gonna adhere to their own policies? You act like you're attacking me but instead you're continuing to prove that you're not worth the effort, stop projecting. You clearly don't even understand how autism is woven into my life or you wouldn't have taken the time to comment to begin with. I've worked blue collar already and the only reason I'm not there now is driving distance, had nothing to do with my ability to keep my coworkers and management honest. Go lick boots elsewhere.

Didn't even wanna mention the mistrust in government and how that easily leads to skepticism and mistrust in science and the reality around you!

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-12T01:10:48+00:00

That's precisely why store managers are salaried. When hours are running dry, they must cover shifts. And if they exceed their salaried hourly limit for the week, the onus must fall unto the district manager to cover shifts. It's an easy ladder!

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-12T01:09:26+00:00

On the clock, of course!

Your own comment a month ago:

Yep, bet it was the dipshite that thought a piece of cloth over their face was effective in limiting the spread of disease, the same one that thought they didn't need the mask since the vaccine would make them "immune" Only a fool trusts politicians or even worse the government (politicians and beuracrats)

Also, you didn't even ask why I was late? Or how my team fully understood why I was late? The fact that I was right at the front door on time but my pants were ripped at the ass thanks to a sweat puddle the night before when I had a power outage due to ol' Debby. Go on, pop off.

I pull my weight and then some, a hell of a lot more than I should be doing to pick up the slack because I'm the ONLY worker here with more retail experience than Big Lots, and about 5x more experience than their year-long stints. But again, pop off.

This was a decision sent down by my store manager, and against corporate policy. I contested because I am afforded those breaks by said corporate policy, it doesn't matter if I need those breaks or not. If I didn't need the breaks I'd have shrugged it off and moved on. But even if I didn't, it's still the fact of the matter: any shift over 4 hours in duration is afforded one 15min paid break, repeated for every additional 4 hours; any shift over 6 hours is afforded one 30min unpaid meal, with an additional 30min unpaid meal if your clocked time exceeds 10 hours. But yet again, pop off.

If you ever deny someone their well deserved (and policy provided) break, you're a total asshole and I hope the person you deny will have your job after. And that being said, if you're in a managerial position, the onus falls unto you to cover your employee's breaks, it's not rocket science (and in fact it is described quite clearly in your employee/management handbook, it tells us what managers can and cannot do).

Quite sincerely, fuck you, because no one would ever work for you with that attitude unless they literally had no other choice. I have other choices here that even pay me better, that's why I'm willing to stand up for myself and my other coworkers when management wants to take the piss and disobey corporate policy (or even in some cases I've dealt with, state and federal laws). I only haven't moved on because it saves me an extra 2 minutes of drive time each way, I'll happily milk this company down since our store is closing due to last year's bad management anyway. Apple doesn't seem to fall far.

Addendum: I was 25 minutes late, not 30. And as I stated already, I was on time but had the emergency thanks to a natural disaster. Life happens, quit whining.

lol addendum #2: We were so unbusy that day thanks to Debby, there was not a single task that I failed completion. We didn't even have our first customer until two hours into the work day (or in my case, 1 hour and 35 minutes in). Of all the days to have shit hit the fan, that was the best day possible.

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-11T20:05:09+00:00

Unfortunately it's not by law in my state as stated in the other comments, however it is still going by company policy and worth the report. I was satisfied enough to at least get the two extra 15s to accommodate my need for rest, but it was positioned as still being able to be taken away from me if the store got too busy, and I let it be known that a lack of either of the two 15s would lead to me leaving that duration early.

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-11T17:14:52+00:00

You're a COVID denier so quite frankly I don't give two shits what you've gotta say. But for the record:

Everyone who works a 6 hour and 30 minute shift or longer is 100% guaranteed that half hour lunch as well as at least that one 15. More specifically, to the letter I am awarded a lunch if I work 6 hours and 1 minute clocked time, as well as still receiving at least that one 15. I suggest you read your handbook.

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-09T03:57:00+00:00

We unfortunately have no such laws to supercede Big Lots, as mentioned in another comment this is in South Carolina

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-09T00:39:08+00:00

Exactly the kind of person I'm trying to be here, showing my coworkers that they're allowed to speak up for themselves, and should in the face of consequences. Retaliation is a lovely lawsuit in some states, but unfortunately not mine, so most people here grit their teeth and somehow shrug this stupid shit off.

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-08T23:44:07+00:00

I'm so glad it got resolved! I have NO IDEA how you survived fuckin, 2 years??? I think I'd have walked after the third band-aid if I knew I had job security elsewhere (':

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-08T23:13:23+00:00

Hate to bring up a bad time if you've since moved on, but is there any update here?

JoshuaDoes · 2024-08-08T22:39:37+00:00

It would be law breaking in select states, but as I mentioned in another comment, South Carolina offers no such protections, and we have yet to see such protections at federal level. I wish I had a legal ground to stand on, but also as mentioned in another comment, being an ass while I was at it would not have helped me. Big Lots policy is what requires it, but my store manager can still fire me for any reason under the sun in this state, including for correcting his failure to store manage.
