I have a Zoom L12 for mixing/recording my synthesizers, PC system sound and PC audio interface. I got it used for $500.
You can get super cheap mixers as well, but the quality will probably be hit-or-miss. (Proper grounding and interference being the biggest issues.)

tankiejerk is also acceptable.

They claim big advances on a lot of things.

The Internet would be great if it wasn’t for all the other computers attached to it.

Effort vs Reward vs Ability vs Inital investment
In most cases, think of this kind of thing like a legitimate business. Same concepts. I’ll grade a few scenarios based on what I have seen over the last 20 or so years. (The ratings are arbitrary and just trying to explain my point.)
Do you have the means to rent a botnet and phish a few million people for lots of credit card numbers? Can you manage that kind of data, test all those numbers and maybe end up just selling that data? Low Risk/Moderate Reward (“Selling shovels” analogy is probably a better scheme than actually renting the botnet, IMHO)
Could you setup a “call center” in India and run a scam ring like an 8-5 business? Are there enough people you can hire to do this work? That requires training, infrastructure and time. You also may need to “work with” law enforcement to ensure your scam isn’t busted by legitimate cops. Moderate Risk/Moderate Reward.
Are you part of a small group with an insane amount of skill that has the time to pull off an extortion scheme against a Fortune 500 company for a few million bucks? High risk/High reward
Those are all normal scenarios above and it’s based on profitability and initial investment. Risk/Reward is always a balance.
(Sorry. I pulled a “wHellll aKshUallY” when you said it’s not worth the time for the small targets.)

It’s all about presentation, my friend. If we are going to make our millions off of this product before it starts to roll off of people’s TikTok feeds, we need to move quick.
If we repackage PVA into a sales point for preschool nostalgia, we got it made.

Polyvinyl acetate would probably give a better texture and has been kid approved for decades.
Still, I am super curious to see if actual gelatin would work so thanks for computing the ratios for a (theoretically) stable product.
- Comment on Fun Lunch Fridays 1 week ago:
If a solution for the bean-to-glue ratio can be found, I am also fine with that.
- Comment on Fun Lunch Fridays 1 week ago:
This seems to be from the TikToks, so no. Not real.

One of these things is not like the other…
It’s the guy pointing at something completely random.

So I’m the smart now?
- Comment on Hackers Can Hide Images in Text Data and Embeds Directly into DNS TXT Records 2 weeks ago:
It looks like the site is just AI generated crap based off of blog posts it scraped. “Cyber Security News” is about as generic as it gets.
- Comment on If I wanted to have a maximally downvoted post, how would I go about accomplishing that? 3 weeks ago:
The problem with .ml shitposting is that it will almost immediately get removed. If it does start to propagate around to other instances, people will immediately recognize it as a troll post and it will get upvoted.
Trolling ml takes finesse and it’s the IRL epitome of “opposite day” over there.

- Comment on A post from nodebb has been stuck at the top of all/new for a few months. 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think it matters much if ee is shutting down.
- Comment on Anon misses the classic design 5 weeks ago:
It’s just a bit of wood attached to a fairly big chunk of explosive and I would guess that wood shrapnel is just as deadly as metal within it’s effective range. The stick isn’t going to block much of anything.
Stuck grenades could have a fragmentation sleeve, but they relied more on the explosive concussion for damage, not the shrapnel.
- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 1 month ago:
It’s ok to shit in someone else’s, just not yours.
- Comment on OpenAI caves to pressure, keeps nonprofit in charge 1 month ago:
Even when you completely ignore that bullshit monologue from Altman, something is fishy with this.
While just speculation, I think they are positioning for a sale as that is going to be the only way to get any value from their shares. (Aside from dividends, if that is a even a thing with pre-IPO equity?)
Anyone else case to spitball any theories?

- Comment on Seriously Jesus, who was doing that for that to be added 😭 2 months ago:
Butter is just milk with extra steps. There are quite a few things you can cook with milk (or specifically creams) that you would typically use butter for that you wouldn’t think. Steak is a good example.
Of course it’s not a 1:1 replacement, but that is kind of the point. The question is: How of you prefer your milk fats to taste when cooked? (If you are cooking a steak, are you after a specific butter flavor or a deeper cooked dairy flavor?)

- Comment on God is a dick. 2 months ago:
And that is scary. If the is one takeaway from observing the universe it’s that there are always bigger and stranger things out there somewhere.
- Comment on God is a dick. 2 months ago:
Something tells me this isn’t a bad thing. If there is an edge of the universe, it’s probably going to be a very strange place.
- Comment on Zuckerberg had a 'crazy idea' to boost Facebook's relevance: Make everyone start from scratch 2 months ago:
It would force everyone who still wanted to use Facebook to upload more fresh data and get hooked again in the process. It’s not a relevance play. It’s a “we want all your new data” play.

See, that is what I thought at first until I thought about the proportions.
