Keep Lemmy small. Make the influence of conversation here uninteresting.

I’m doing my part!

Pretty much anything from the Hitman games sountracks. Mostly Contracts or Blood Money.

Are you saying it might be a crime for a President to unilaterally invent a new law and make the federal government enforce it? Well, you see…

Hollow Knight 112% completion is what I’m most proud of. It was hard!

The best free one is probably Pitchproof. It’s alright but it doesn’t handle chords well. I gave up using pitch shifting and got another guitar and put thick strings on it for low tunings.

The DSL40 sounds very appealing indeed, and not too pricey. I’ll go around and look for it at the local guitar store. I’ve also frequently seen those Katanas mentioned above which I’ll have to try. Thanks.

Thanks. Hoping to figure this out around $500. I don’t need loads of power so that should help the budget.

I don’t have experience with amp modellers in the FX loop. This works differently from multi-fx pedals with preamp simulations? I plug my guitar into my GT-1, which goes into the instrument input of my amp (a Rumble 100). No matter what I tweak with this setup, I fail to get it to sound believably “classic rock” so far.

Ah yes I should’ve specified. It’s a Rumble 100. Yeah, that’s a bass amp as I was primarily playing bass when I bought it. It does sound surprisingly excellent when I play clean-ish guitar through it, but with the GT-1 I can’t quite get a satisfying overdrive tone, no matter what pre-amp simulation I select on the GT1. With the amp set to clean, 0 gain. The master volume is plenty to make it loud. But yeah, I just can’t get this combination to reproduce what I’m looking for.

Perhaps it’s the speaker cone itself which is holding it back. I hadn’t considered that yet. Thanks.

According to the article this system also detects power outages and shuts off when they happen. Just like full-scale solar power systems. But yeah, no physical kill switch.

I enjoy opamps. Texas Instruments LME49723 is one of my favorites :P

By asking this question you’re already ahead.

Be your genuine self. Share your wisdom. Love your child.

I’m guessing regular non-LP DDR works fine socketed in desktops because power is nearly a non-issue. Need to burn a few watts to guarantee signal integrity? We’ve got a chonky PSU, so no problem. On mobile devices however every watt matters…

And I don’t think they give out stock grants to warehouse workers, but I could be wrong.

Yeah. That’s my point. And still people take these jobs and work very hard indeed. Try explaining “limited bathroom break time” to your average tech worker.

Average Amazon .com Warehouse Worker hourly pay in the United States is approximately $16.96, which is 7% above the national average.

People don’t seem to understand the average worker would kill to make $80/hour and $200k in RSUs. Not a dream job, right.

Yeah. Tech has gotten worse. But you really think it’s better in any other sector? I’m sure there are a few highly-compensated lap-dance-inspectors out there but the vast majority of workers deal with the same shit techies are dealing with, for significantly less pay and respect, if you can believe that.

One of the developers I respect most in my career walked out on .5M in bonuses on Amazon because of their ranking system for his employees. I was shocked.

This also shows what an incredibly privileged position techies have in the job market. I totally understand quitting Amazon. Really, I wouldn’t want to work there either. But ask one of their warehouse workers if they’d ever quit and forfeit a 0.5M bonus…

Eh. I work in tech. I have friends who work or worked at almost every big tech company you’d recognize. These are still jobs, dealing with layoffs, annoying bosses, etc. has always been a fact of life. But from what I can see the average techie still has it very good compared to most other jobs. My friend who is a nurse would certainly like to earn a tech salary, not have to deal with hospital politics, and not work night shifts all the damn time, and take time off whenever they want to not whenever there’s availability…

I think Big Tech is still pretty much a dream job for most people. High pay. Perks. Work/life flexibility. It’s certainly not as dreamy as it was 5 years ago perhaps, but realistically I’d take it over pretty much anything else.

What alternatives are you using? I’ve only tried Lemmy after Reddit. I don’t find it overly negative here either btw, but I’m interested to compare.
