This is for all Swiss people. Some idiot politician wants to put all the country's data into the hands of Microsoft. Which means at the whim of Trump. Insanity! Please sign this petition.

"Over the past decade, Google lobbyists met with the [EU] Commission at least 420 times, and spent well over 60 million euros on lobbying". Fuck Google.

So, left LinkedIn today and created a PeerTube account. Now I am ready to start creating "content"! :)
This link is an Invidious link to a YouTube clip bashing Musk and the other big corp fascists.

FreeTube und NewPipe macht die scheiss Werbung weg aber yeah, PeerTube rocks!

Die "Impfung" ist ja keine Impfung, diese Medikamente schützt nur schwache Leute von Sterben, bei Verbreitung ist sie nutzlos. Aber trotzdem wollte man denn die nicht geimpfte von Gesellschaft auszuschliessen!

Ja, leider scheint es so. Aber immerhin, relativ gesehen ;) läuft es besser. Und ich glaube die Schweizer sind auch mehr bewusst.

DS-DAC-10R - 1BIT USB-DAC/ADC | KORG (U.K.) Enjoy a lifetime of listening to astounding audio fidelity—record it in DSD.

The Japanese stand strong! Both Tascam and Korg are still independent and making stuff you crave. :)
I want this to record PDM!

Yamaha and Steinberg Announce Hardware Brand Transition More than 20 years since Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH was acquired and integrated into the Yamaha Group, the historical German company continues to be a global reference in music production and p...

Seriously, every company I look at has been eaten. Ok, this really happened 20 years ago but anyway... Steinberg were Commodore 64 MIDI pioneers. I do have a simple Yamaha mixing board, Steinberg could've ended up worse, I guess

Monolithic Power Systems Acquires Axign Monolithic Power Systems (MPS), a global company specializing in high-performance power solutions announced the acquisition of Axign B.V., the Netherlands-based fabless semiconductor startup that spec...

The Dutch startup Axign has been taken over by MPS.
Small companies innovate and then they are taken over by a big one. Is this really sustainable in the long run?

Infineon Acquires GaN Systems: A Power Move in Semiconductors The merger between Infineon and GaN Systems heralds a new dawn in semiconductor technology, driving efficiency and innovation in the industry.

GaN Systems, a Canadian pioneer in GaN transistor technology, was bought by Infineon, spun off from Siemens in 1999. Infineon has gotten at least a billion Euro of tax-payer money.

Reading the Wall Street Journal this morning I just have to lash out against AI again.
First the 100 hour workweek. We know the brain can't even do 8 hours by a computer in a day, all else is waste. Second, basing a business on Stars doesn't work. Third, simulations are not new.

I have the LS50 Meta with KC62, awesome little powerpack! :)

I take this as an argument against using Atlassian tools.

Why AI Will Widen the Gap Between Superstars and Everybody Else Workplace tensions and resentment will rise if top performers benefit more than everyone else from artificial-intelligence tools. But there are things companies can do to level the playing field.

AI benefits the ones already ahead:
"employees with more expertise ... are significantly better at accepting AI recommendations when they are correct and, more important, rejecting them when they are wrong."

Middle management could help, instead of elevating the "stars".

Marx spent his whole life in a loophole! :D The loophole of historicism.

One more comment: About half the budget on loudspeakers and full-range floor-standing. I love the LS 50's but you just can't fill the bass gap...

Ran out of space: But even with a sub you miss out in higher lows... If your budget allows the PS Audio Airlens a fantastic streamer with its "bit timing".

What's your budget? I'd stay clear of anything Chinese. The specs might be good but it has to sound good too!
PS Audio have amazing loudspeakers. KEF's are also very good. The Schiit Aegir amps are a perfect match for the KEF LS50. I doubt you can get better soundstage for that money.

That's the way to go! The smaller the budget, the more on the loudspeakers.

So sad. So I was wondering what to use instead and only came up with Raspberry Pi, a Pico maybe. But Adafruit, now I will definately have a better look! :)

Raspberry Pi Pico and EspressIf's ESP boards?

My big question is what to use instead. Any ideas?

Why do the dragons always slay the good guys?

Lovely talk! Without any tech. The most valuable to a team is a safe environment. Forget geniuses. Forget AI. Forget competition. Treat your colleagues as humans. ❤️

The 3,000-year-old story hidden in the @ sign In Taiwan they call @ "little mouse". It's "strudel" in Hebrew, "dog" in Russian and "monkey's tail" in Dutch. The @ sign is a mirror, and its story goes back thousands of years.

YouTube video by ElectrArc240 Everything is Better: GaN vs Silicon Power Supplies

GaN transistors have caught my attention lately as they are not only making power supplies more efficient but also seem to have astonishing abilities in musical power amplification. So here's a comparison between Si and GaN in a 50W power supply.

Well, I think the risk of a climate catastrophe are even higher so it won't matter in the end, will it? :/
