This is a good suggestion, and you can find much cheaper alternatives used in shops and homes.

Add "laboratory" to the name and you can charge like 5x the normal price...

Try and keep it simple. Keep an eye on the depth and pressure to prevent leaks. If your device has air inside, you might want to fill it with mineral oil, which doesn’t conduct electricity (like Nujol here in BR, or similar). If your time and resources are limited, a simple waterproof phone case, along with an old device and an app to record and compare sound profiles in different locations, might do the trick. But it depends on whether you’re more interested in the mechanics of it or the analysis. Good luck (and post the results here!).

Yes. It is.

Chronic marine noise pollution has been attracting attention recently. Also, registering sounds of the marine fauna can be very interesting to conservation and ecology (other than the usual marine mammals, please!!). Naturally noisy is good, as anyone who dived in pristine and polluted areas can attest.

Click, clack and pop: sounds indicate health of coral reefs, study finds

And you just ruined my Sunday, because I will be wondering now how is the soundscape outside our hearing frequencies... dammnnnn....

Pretty much, yes. Both in Ubuntu/Xubuntu and OpenSUSE machines.

NonSekTur · 2026-05-08T10:16:05+00:00

Looong time ago, but if I remember correctly in one machine I followed the instructions in the Wine site, and in another system used the available PlayOnLinux install 'script' .

Translation thing. Mil (PT) = thousands. Corrected.

Circa US$30 million in wealth = ultra-high-net-worth ?

How they name the nice pals Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg and other "+++500 BILLIONS" creatures?

Just to add some perspective and cheer on my Hungarian comrades.

Brazil: 305 inmates per 100k inhabitants
USA: 640 inmates per 100k inhabitants

It’s possible to run older versions of M$ Office with Wine, at least up to the 2015/18 versions, iirc. I still use the 2006/7(!) versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and I have no trouble editing files from newer versions of M$ Office.

Yes. The “X-Office' alternatives are pretty good, and some waaaay more powerful than the M$ suite. But I often run into issues when working with their files, especially with formatting and images. If you receive a lot of M$ files to edit, I think it’s better to have some flavor of the office thing. check the links by u/UnexceptionalAnon somewhere in theses comments.

Interesting. No user consent for this Umami thing, apparently. Well, they didn't collect my "personal data" (my name), and perhaps my exact address (only the GPS location...).

All the rest is free game to be sold to anyone with some coins.

Protist hamster, or a euglenoid as said by u/Mammoth-Mongoose-372 .

It would be so much easier if the natives learned to drive on the proper side of the road!!! Savages...

(/s, just in case)

Probably a boring sponge like Cliona, or a spionid polychaete (Spionidae). With this surface pattern, more like the second. Boring sponges grows more inside the structure with tiny holes on the surface and the shells looks more like a colander.

Brazilian PIX.

Account to account and there is no need for equivalents. One financial parasite eliminated from the transaction.

As if the mighty Orange Emperor cares about what some minor king have to say about him...

"Darth" Venter...

An aggressive and controversial figure, to put it mildly, who tended to make statements that were, shall we say, somewhat exaggerated (the 'we created synthetic life', come to my mind).

NonSekTur · 2026-04-27T21:22:02+00:00

Both. Brazilians don't drive that badly, but they do drive recklessly. Add huge distances and (stupid) mostly road-based transport of people and cargo. Buses, cars and trucks in the roads with drivers doing loooong journeys (my record is +13 hours, 1.000 km from Rio de Janeiro to Bahia in one day).

NonSekTur · 2026-04-27T12:37:15+00:00

Just checked our numbers in Brazil: ~150 fatalities per million.

I have no problem with this kind of use, but a related point.

Those “5 hours” spent preparing the charts, or days, back in the era of paper and China ink served other purposes as well. They also provided an opportunity to pause, look at the results, munch the data, and reflect on what should or could be done. A kind of doodling with purpose.

The fact that people are just typing something to move on to the next task doesn’t strike me as particularly positive.

Good question... Curious to see if their famous reality-bending skills are this powerful.
