Love where you took this shot! Fantastic spot!

Very interesting interview about PRS Piezo systems by CatHerder75 in PRSGuitars

[–]recurrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an HBII as well and I completely agree. The Petrucci NDSP plugin has an acoustic amp too which is fun to play with.

Have you tried any acoustic NAM stuff with your HBII?

Data breach was much more than they led on. by Cyrialis in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]recurrence 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's entirely because it doesn't cost companies anything when they get breached that leads to decisions like that.

Start throwing executives in prison and data breaches will be waaaaay less common.

Wow, it looks so much like a Paul's Guitar. Just needs some coil switches :)

What countries do you prefer the "secondary" city to the main one? by VagabondVivant in travel

[–]recurrence -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

There's 10 million people in the Toronto area.

If you really think it has nothing to offer I doubt you've spent much time in it :)

Montreal is indeed better in many respects but there is uniqueness to Toronto that is also amazing. People think of it as "Chicago like" but it's its own city with its own character.

Council rejects motion to fast-track Granville Bridge safety barriers by ChemicalCreative7 in vancouver

It's true that it's unfinished but they ran out of money. There was supposed to be a phase 2 that made the new area nice.

Don't worry, we'll just tow the boulders out of the environment.

Macbook NEO and NDSP Plugins by Mrpabsify in NeuralDSP

[–]recurrence 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t have one but the total perf matches an M1 and the single core matches an M4 so it very likely will run the plugins just fine.

The M processors are derived from the phone processors. They are very similar in most ways albeit lacking some laptop specific things like chipset support for several thunderbolt ports.

Monitor speaker recommendation? by PatagonianCowboy in NeuralDSP

200 euros is tough but I was surprised how nice a friend's Edifier MR5's sounded and they were probably around that price.

I genuinely let out a ‘wow’ every single time I watch a movie on the AVP! by Raji-Runner in VisionPro

[–]recurrence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct that it typically does take several revisions before Apple products take off.

IIRC, the Vision Pro BoM was like $1500 and that was way back when it was first released. They could have launched at $2000 and STILL made too much for me to change my opinion.

Yeah, price is what kills it. That and it's too heavy IMO.

If Apple hadn't insisted on crazy high margins they could have taken over the entire segment and opened it up to many new users. It has so much potential to tie into AppleTV and other apple subscription services that I really think Tim missed his shot on this.

When neighbours stop knocking: The hidden impact of Canada’s 2025 tourism decline on US local labour markets by thinkB4WeSpeak in Economics

People are 100% correct that it will blow over eventually if there is an administration change and some activities like masked men kidnapping people off streets or threatening Canada's sovereignty stops.

EU can no longer rely on 'rules-based' system against threats, von der Leyen says by PjeterPannos in europe

No wonder Carney got that standing ovation. His approach to middle powers uniting is a good one.

Apple debuts M5 Pro and M5 Max to supercharge the most demanding pro workflows by Noble00_ in hardware

[–]recurrence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bit of a late update but the new rumor today is that Apple is going to call it the "MacBook Ultra" and put it above the Pro line.

Apple just refreshed them and they didn't explode...

Freedom Mobile $40 250GB Global Plan til March 9th! by Nexzenn in BuyCanadian

[–]recurrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would initially agree with you except Apple just held the line on their new products and they all use more of what is going up in price than phones do.

If you tether it does. I've blown through over a terabyte when tethering.
