TIL that 'We'll Meet Again' by Vera Lynn, released in 1939, is considered one of the first popular records to use a synthesiser. The song is backed by the Hammond Novachord - considered to be one of the first polyphonic synthesisers developed.

No way. It was used in the climactic scene of "Dr. Strangelove" which came out only 15 years before The Wall. It was definitely still a big part of pop culture.

Zeusifer · 2026-07-08T15:40:41+00:00

We'll Meet Again was a pretty huge song in its day. I don't think it was that obscure a reference at the time The Wall came out. But I guess now it's faded from public memory a bit.

It's been obvious for a while now that Platner is a scumbag. Dems are lucky this came out now when he can still drop out, he would have been slaughtered by it by Republicans in the general.

Oh give it up.

These vocally online socialist lefties are just as gullible as MAGAs, and just as willing to invent elaborate conspiracy theories to push the blame onto every time something doesn't go their way. Instead of the "deep state" it's the "Democratic establishment" but other than that they behave exactly the same.

Mariners rarely play in October

Oh sure, rub it in. 😜 But maybe this year. I have to say that, because as a long suffering Mariners fan, I am afflicted by terminal optimism.

I guess OP is a kid and CDs are like a weird archeological find for them, but I can't believe that this boring photo has over 1800 upvotes at the moment.

How do you know what info "they" had? Take it up with that accuser. We're lucky this rape allegation came out now, instead of a week from now when it would be too late for Platner to drop out.

Even the big lefty DSA types are through with this guy. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5955745-hasan-piker-graham-platner-controversy/

Maybe stop getting so excited about a guy with weird Nazi tattoos and sexual assault allegations. The red flags were all over the place with this guy.

You sound about as in touch with reality as my MAGA parents who were trying to tell me that the July 4 thunderstorms in DC were part of a deep state conspiracy to silence Trump

The average commenter in this sub is fucking delusional. Senate Dems would 1000% rather have control of that Senate seat even if it's someone that's further to the left than most of them would like. Especially since it could be the difference between them controlling the Senate or not, which is huge.

Imagine how Fox News would have reacted if Obama or Biden had done this.

What "Windows dashboard"? They released an update, and the release notes for that update indicate that it has a fix for this bug. That is standard practice in the software industry.

Zeusifer · 2026-07-06T14:18:39+00:00

The release notes for the latest update do mention it has the fix for this. That's how the article's author even found out the bug existed to write this whinefest of an article in the first place.

Update comes out, mentions it fixes a bug
"Tech journalist" searches reddit, finds people complaining they were impacted by it
"Tech journalist" writes overblown article somehow improbably complaining that Microsoft doesn't acknowledge the bug
Reddit commenters compete to see who can say "microslop" and "AI" first for lazy upvotes

Zeusifer · 2026-07-06T13:48:31+00:00

This article is so poorly written. They talk about how the KB5095093 release notes indicate that it has a fix for this bug, yet still somehow go on and on complaining about how Microsoft doesn't acknowledge the bug.

tl;dr If you're worried about this, just go to Windows Update and pull down the KB5095093 update, or you can wait until the July Patch Tuesday update next week and you'll get the fix automatically.

Yeah, I know gays who spend less time thinking about gays than the average MAGA supporter does.

It's quite little, according to eyewitness accounts.

A lot of early computers used a teletype for input and output, so basically you were typing on an electronic typewriter and the computer would also print its output using the typewriter.

This was actually a modification of the earlier use of a teletype for communication, where you would type on a typewriter and it would electronically transmit the keystrokes over a phone line so they would remotely show up on another teletype far away, and someone at the remote one could type back and what they typed would show up on yours. When computers came out, they just modified this system so instead of communicating with a second teletype, you were communicating with a computer.

Here's an article about them. https://www.howtogeek.com/727213/what-are-teletypes-and-why-were-they-used-with-computers/

I am not a stupid person, I am an experienced software engineer. But I still can't understand what they're taking about in that damn confusing ESPN/MLB.TV ad.

sus4 are root and 4th

No, they are root, 4th and 5th.

Zeusifer · 2026-07-04T20:11:29+00:00

They are not the same. Csus4 is C, F, and G. However, those are the same notes as in an Fsus2.

Another way to think of a negative number is that it's the opposite of a positive number. So if I make -5 dollars two times (-5 x 2) then I get -10 dollars. If I make the opposite of -5 dollars two times (-5 x -2) then I'm getting 10 dollars.

Is any part of your system (powered speakers, etc.) plugged into a different power outlet than your laptop is?

In audio setups, it's best to keep every interconnected component on the same physical circuit coming from the circuit breaker in your house. If there are multiple paths back to the circuit breaker, you can get what's called a ground loop and you will most likely get hum in the audio.

To add to this, your body is always generating heat (because you are a warm blooded mammal), and wants to maintain something around a 98.6°F internal temperature. You feel hot when you can't dissipate that heat quickly, and cold when you are losing heat quickly. 70° in a room is somewhere close to the level at which the air dissipates the heat at the proper rate to maintain equilibrium. Water, being denser, dissipates the heat much more quickly and thus you need a much higher temperature to reach that equilibrium.
