  I wish Discogs wouldn’t use PayPal so I could still use it (it would appear I got shadow-banned). I only have 4 CDs…

  Anyway, I got one with a hidden track which I only noticed visually on Teamwork by DJs@Work. Since there’s a while of silence, the audio part is visibly spaced out on furthermost part of the disc.

  During the pandemic at school I was able to mostly get out of these by reducing it to basically a presentation.

  First, bandwidth limiting to prove “bad internet connection” and inability of using camera. Simplest way was using mobile data on 2G EDGE.
  Second, unlistenable audio. Increase microphone gain to maximum and nobody will want to hear you.

  At that point you may even be requested to not use either camera nor microphone, like I was. Problem solved, video call -> presentation.

  Most likely won’t work for your job though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People never understand the sacrifices I make for them.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I could see myself in that situation (the user), which is why I so much prefer text. Either I could get distracted or bring some technical issue upon myself by trying (or continuing) to do things differently, or both combined.

  I mean, for example even with something simpler like this if company wanted me to use my personal device. I may not be using a recent Android or iOS device in the future, or I may simply not want the company software on anything I use personally.

  I don’t know what the case here was, but perhaps it made some sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother HL-2280DW, what are you doing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I myself prefer inkjet. Mainly because I don’t really understand the laser printer operation, I can’t even name all the rollers, but the simplicity of pouring more ink into old cartridges and easy head replacement (built into cartridges in my case) is nice, as well as compactness when requiring color. Maybe when I’ll once decide to study it I’ll try a laser.

  HP PSC 1315, somewhere around 20 years old. It has an absolutely botched USB replacement that’s not even fully inserted, but it’s somehow worked for years now.
  It was my first soldering attempt. You’ll squirm now, I didn’t know what flux was. I thought there wasn’t enough heat and went to MAXIMUM. 520°C (968°F) cooked contacts. But somehow it works…

  Hear me out, printers are relatively high-maintenance technology. I want some decent understanding to be able to deal with various faults first, but I am too lazy to study laser printers, so I use inkjet.

  But actually, I kinda want a… dot matrix. 24-pin for sure, but hear me out, I want a slow one. I want to watch it and listen to it printing, so I want it to take enough time. I am not joking. Many times I used high DPI printing which takes 20 minutes per page (A4) and I was watching the heads the entire time.

  I don’t even think I’ve ever seen a Sony branded Blu-Ray disc. I mean, I only use DVDs (Blu-Ray entry price is high), but I still see BluRay discs too. Mostly just Verbatim though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo is removing the iconic Trackpoint with its new ThinkPad X9⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Welp, that was my only reason to specifically get a ThinkPad. I got to use one at school and quickly got used to it. I wanted to keep that experience, so I bought a ThinkPad. I’ve used the TrackPad precisely 0 times, I have it permanently disabled. If I run out of space for stickers, I’ll put them over the TrackPad as well.

  I’d say the TrackPoint, once you get used to it, becomes an extension of the finger.

  Only annoying thing is the occasional drift.

  I personally don’t like the idea of maximum age. Someone can very well be mentally OK even in their 90s.

  Rather a mandatory psychological evaluation.

  A dipole will do just fine.

  And with RTL-SDR you could also receive NOAA APT and Meteor LRPT on 137MHz with the same dipole.

  I keep using that damn extendable dipole for everything xD It’s very portable, fits into a pocket.

  That download button on top is to save the image without loosing quality, just in case.

  Did you just use speaker + microphone or cable? Nevermind, there’s no headphone symbol.

  I noticed you have the RTL-SDR blog dipole. I’ve used that for NOAA-APT and Meteor LRPT in the past just fine. 120 degree V shape helps with impedance.

  Handheld you can also adjust for elevation. Half wavelength (around 1m) above ground will work for most passes, but bringing it lower increases gain towards the top (held horizontally).

  I never learned NEC, so I can’t prove it to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which side of this dipole is ground?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You do seem to be right. It should not matter in theory, but it may be better for the one connected to the center (right on this image) to be up.

  For vertical polarization, in theory it does not matter which way around you orient the antenna as long as it’s vertical. However in practice, you may get slightly better results by having the element connected to the center coax conductor pointing UP.

  The person you replied to said “female” though. As far as I know, “Man”/“Woman” is on the gender side while “Male”/“Female” is on the sex side, based purely on things like reproductive organs, chromosomes and hormones.

  Although taking all three into account may just make it hard to determine. But it does imply that “male woman” and “female man” are also valid combinations.
