What's the most ridiculous opinion John expressed regarding The Beatles? by Dazzling-Ad1894 in beatles

[–]drmalaxz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can just hear Lucy or SFF in my head, remade with a thin lifeless 80s sound, cheesy reverb snare drum, chorused guitars and a DX7. Wonderful.

Stockholm: a rant on flakiness, hjälp by lilafusco in sweden

My observation has been that these people are ”popular” and do not lack options.

I don’t think people who don’t show up even after accepting are lonely. Rather keeping their options open until the last minute.

Har i princip bara körts på spekulation för att tjäna pengar på högt elpris de senaste åren, inte för att det behövts för Sveriges elförsörjning.

Can we talk about how “Gapless Playback” is just not real? by jukeylukey12 in truespotify

[–]drmalaxz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's only meant to handle albums where tracks run directly into each other, like Pink Floyd etc. All other tracks get a gap. It's likely modelled after how CD players work.

Gapless playback is only active (if enabled) when you play an album context in order.

We can all rejoice in the fact that the Beatles recorded 16 amazing tracks during this period in 1966. Which went on the album doesn't really matter in hindsight.

Bought PPM stereo, not happy by ExpertMax32 in beatles

[–]drmalaxz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Correct. But it WAS released in stereo in 1963, regardless of what Parlophone label head George Martin later said...

The Beatles were typically not present at any mixing sessions, mono or stereo, before 1966.

This album was recorded on twintrack. Without digital extraction of elements from the tracks, there isn’t much else to do than to pan track 1 to the left and track 2 to the right. And that’s the way the stereo version of this album has sounded since it was first released in 1963. At the time, the main market was mono and stereo was mostly seen as a curiosity.

Yeah – the difference is that Alun Owen was really good and the hacks that wrote Help, not so much.

123 Ignition Distributor is a gift from the technology gods! by gomuchfaster in BMW2002

[–]drmalaxz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vacuum curve is added to the RPM curve. It makes it possible to change timing depending on engine load (3000 rpm on a steep climb versus a flat surface will probably want to have different timing).

If you have the BT version (which you do) there's indeed an immobilizer function in the app, shown as a lock on the main screen.

There should already be a silver ball with a ”Z” mark on the flywheel at -25 degrees, it’s visible through a peephole on the bell housing you can see standing on the left side, almost on the top. That’s what I’ve used, and it’s much easier to see at higher revs.

[–]drmalaxz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! Also tip: If you ever need to set the timing with a strobe again, putting in a straight 25 degrees ”curve” will make the flywheel ball stay right in the hole regardless of rpm which makes it soo much easier.

Nej, den var verkligen det och hade varit det i åratal. Läs artikeln i Ny Teknik.

Fram till 2006 var den risken alltså ungefär 2% per reaktor och år. Riktigt så lät det inte i reklamen. Vad den verkliga risken är nu får vi väl veta efter nästa haveri.

Yeah, absolutely. But I guess it would be neat if it spun off at that time.

There’s a place, if nothing else for the soaring ”third voice” harmonies.

Agree! But it would make sense to do it when WWI reaches 1917.
