If you have stereo speakers… surround is not a concern. The device should just assume the audio will be originating from the front of the listener, and mix it at equal levels and call it a day.

Ok… so why isnt audio devices mixing the stereo from a 5 channel source?

- Comment on Anon updates GNU/linux 3 weeks ago:
Its relevant because its primary use doesnt change how the memory is accessed. The only reason NVRAM doesnt see use as primary system ram is that they are much slower and many types have limited write cycles making them unsuitable for the job.
- Comment on Anon updates GNU/linux 3 weeks ago:
Its not ‘special kind’. Flash memory is a type of nvram. It was a test to see if you would catch on. Theres also neat things like phase change RAM, aka DVD-RAM.

We didnt lose our ambitions. The geopolitics have changed. The space race was ultimately was a big dick measuring contest between to super powers. When the soviets couldnt make it to the moon, there was no reason to push further.

What is ‘NVRAM’ then?

Enter capcasin. Mammals find it intolerable (except for one subset of a goofy bipedal species), but birds love that shit.
I know someone with a dog that loves jalapenos. So its not just us.

Its endangered, once thought to be extinct. Like i said, its easily out competed so it relied of large harbivores to eat/trample the competition.

Trifolium stoloniferum probably would fit that bill. But its easily outcompeted by other plants.

There are several clover species native to NA.
Most are only found in the west, but theres a few eastern ones like Trifolium kentuckiense.
But sure, the common clover in most peoples yards is likely Trifolium pratense.

My biggest issues other than privacy concerns is the fact corpations can turn your devices into paperweights over night by just turning off their servers.

The process still exists, its just limited to rare environments, and will never be the scale as it once was.

The amount they collect is far more than the operating costs. But theres a hidden benefit… market visibility. Thats the true value that makes it worth valve’s high fees.

Assume that the fascists in this fight have zero respect for human rights or human lives. Because they’ve already proven that they don’t.
Even more reason to not roll over and let them win.

Plasma displays had 2 problems though (besides cost) They were heavier than LCDs and their backlights would dim over time
Plasmas dont have backlights, they worked similar to oled.

Right… like how hard is it not crash a ship into a bridge? Even good stewards have accidents. So if there something better and less destructive to the environment, it should be strongly prefered.

But they’re not a problem everywhere, they’re a problem of containment at the manufacturer.
So screw the local environment and the people thag live there? If the manufacturer could capture and destroy pfoa’s before release, why havent they done so? If they could and didnt, then they brought the ban unpon themselves.
This is like arguing “oh, but the oil spill was in a remote part of the ocean and would never effect my house, so keep on drilling baby!”
