Want to save this thread for later, may as well name a couple as well

The Faceless - Planetary Duality. Technical death metal album that found an outstanding balance between technically-impressive musicianship, interesting compositional intricacacies, and raw primal brutality. Nothing scratches that itch like this album does for me. And if you’re into drums, Alex Rudinger’s drumming in Xenochrist is wholly and entirely inhuman. The dude is an octopus trapped in a man’s body. I’d recommend watching his Xenochrist drum playthrough video if you’re particularly interested

Infected Mushroom - Converting Vegetarians. These two guys are absolute wizards of music production, and this album showcases their insane ability to bring out such colorful personalities from their meticulously crafted synth leads, through gradual and dramatic evolution… Which they usually do in a familiar psy-trance setting. But the “chill side” half of this album accomplishes this wonderfully in a unique, much more relaxed, low-tempo style that I’m genuinely struggling to find words to describe

I love news outlets that go back and edit any statements they made which were determined to be false after publishing. Even better when they put them in a red box like that

It’s super effective!

Fiat Panda has fainted!

To this day, I’ve never laughed harder than I did when I first saw this scene. My cheeks and abs cramped up, my back started to hurt, my lungs damn near collapsed from laughing so hard.

Thankfully, I don’t think I’ll ever laugh that hard for as long as I live, because I think there might be a good chance I could actually die of laughter.

Jim Carrey is the GOAT

OBS was the first I tried, but ran into some issues with certain audio channels via my DAC. I actually found a workaround while trying another option later on, but never tried it with OBS. Thanks for the reminder!

I’ve been using it in beta for the past 2-3 months or so on my windows pc, and it’s been excellent in terms of functionality and customization. Twice, I started up a game, and Steam immediately notified me that game capture ran into a problem and isn’t recording (resolved by just restarting the game). Other than that non-issue, it’s been perfect.

Anyway, was very happy to replace the nvidia spyware with something that works. I’d still feel better about a FOSS alternative for screen capture though. Anyone have a suggestion? The handful I’ve tried weren’t working out.

A re-usable PCB is a hugely important development if it proves profitable. Some of the most heinously environmentally unfriendly “forever-chemicals” are more or less irreplaceable for use in electronics, in terms of function, price, and raw effectiveness (looking at you, flame-retardants), so reusability would create incentive to reduce waste and therefore our environment’s exposure to pollutants. I could imagine an electronics return-for-cash system, like the extremely effective “pant” system in Scandinavian countries. I believe that the availability and ease of return for empty bottles (automated return stations at virtually every grocery store) is what contributes the lion’s share of the pant system’s effectiveness, so if there were a similar system implemented for electronics, with electronics stores being required to take in any old electronics using these reusable PCBs, I could see it being extremely effective in reducing e-waste.

However, if these new PCB’s aren’t profitable to implement, I’m sure we’ll never see them used in the first place, unfortunately. But it’s definitely something I would use for my own home electronics projects, no question.

The article also mentions a water-soluble PCB at the end. It sounds like an interesting solution to simplify the material/component recovery process (and most likely reduce the cost of material recovery dramatically), but I also wonder how easily and quickly water-soluble PCBs would degrade from humidity.
