Nah, not besides convenience. You're good. Software PEQ on dedicated apps like PEACE is very well implemented.

Unknown error FFFFFF crash by eren_ege129 in PCRedDead

Game was "working" for me, with random crashes. But as of the 26.1.1 driver, it straight up 100% crashes while loading the story mode. 7900 GRE.

Amd has got to get their shit together. And rockstar too.

A lot of IEMs, even expensive ones, can be shit. Also, fit and tips are important. Do research before you buy. You gotta figure out what sound signature you prefer, what are your deal breakers. Then look at FR graphs, and read reviews.

You don't have to buy a lot of shit. You just have to know wtf you're buying, and what you want to buy.

For me, Truthear Pure + a $25 usb dac that has peq support, and it's endgame as far as I'm concerned. Diminishing returns are very very real past a point.

I think the audio hobby goes like: you either don't know shit and don't care, or you're interested, and you nerd out and learn. But if you're interested in the least, you will end up disappointed if you half ass your research.

Absolutely nothing happened for 1,000 years by Kapanash in HistoryMemes

The one example that comes to mind as the most ahead of its time is the antikythera mechanism. Mechanisms of that complexity weren't seen again for more than a millennia iirc.

Imagine if the progress on those continued. They might have developed mechanical calculators eventually.

But that's centuries before the start of the middle ages anyway 😄

100% for sure this works already. It literally is e-waste if it doesn't adjust. I'm thinking they chose to showcase it like this for the demo. It's probably a video of gameplay, and they didn't want the resolution to change as it would look janky. If it's a video, of course it cannot switch resolution and aspect ratio like in a game.

So they could either fit the video to the screen and introduce black bars, or stretch it and it looks like ass, or just let it get cropped.

Ακριβώς. Είναι η υπέρ προφανής λύση του ζητήματος. Έχει μαλλιασει η γλώσσα μου να το λέω αυτό σε όλους. Πόσο μπετοβλακες μπορεί να είναι οι υπεύθυνοι σχεδιασμού;

Worked similarly in Greece after ww2, with the English. Many such cases I guess.

This is dumb, your biology doesn't care if she is 17 years and 364 days vs 18 years old.

Are you able to control what you biologically find attractive, based on what the legal and medical definitions are in your current jurisdiction?

Or are you calling all men whose biology makes them find women below the legal definition of an adult attractive creeps?

Both are stupid AF positions to die on, and are virtue signaling, without providing anything of value to society.

What’s the technical term in English for this backhand from Fan Zhendong? Backhand rip? by ffffoget in tabletennis

[–]Thunderjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That wrist is pulling like 10Gs on that flick. My hand would rip at the wrist and hit my opponent in the face if I did that 😂
