(speaker calbles almost warrant a debate due to the currents and the reactive load, but the smartest people I knew in the field would just use domestic mains cable for this as it ticked all the boxes that mattered at a low price. They’d literally connect £10k speakers.up with it!)
I suspect you haven’t missed anything and the audio tracks provided have been either inadvertently or deliberately manipulated by some other factor unrelated to the RCA cables.
For context, I’m an Elecronics Engineer with a Masters Degree and 17 years industry experience in a mix of RF and Pro Audio product design, including designing high spec audio converters for both studio and test and measurement use.
Apart from something extraordinarily badly designed, broken or dirty, there is no plausible reason why a cable carrying a signal with no significant current and no high frequency components can have any effect on that signal - high frequency audio is approximately DC in the wider scope of Electronics Engineering.
That answer doesn’t suite people trying to get rich selling ridiculous cables though.
WTF is this slop… “Just minutes ago […] Former U.S. President […]” ???
I was very tempted, but the cost of their uncapped service was just a bit too much. You get what you pay for I guess, but I’ll take the occasional mild infuriation over around £35pm extra cost.
If the US gets a new president in 2029, I’ll be devastated if they don’t take the opportunity to do a major speach or something against the backdrop of a half derelict East Wing - it would be iconic.
Nice - thanks for this
Not my experience. I’ve had my X1C for a year now and have not had to ‘dial in’ a single thing.
Most of my prints are functional items in PETG of various colous. Some PLA for cosmetic parts. And I did some things in TPU earlier in the year. Probably been through like 10kg of filament on it.
Can’t think of a single serios print failure that wasn’t human error - e.g. forgot to clean the bed, didn’t support it properly.
My one gripe is that when changing PETG reels, it doesn’t always manage to wipe the nozzle very well leaving a few rogue stringy bits that usually just pull off.
And obviously I don’t love the closed-wall software situation, but their software is pretty good.
But… America is literally Europe 2.0… so, you’re saying Europe is Europe 3.0?
Caveat: I don’t know you or your manager, so your experience may be very different.
But as someone who has ended up in management in three previous roles (not currently) your post brought two thoughts to my mind:
For me, I’d far rather people in my team came to me and were open about things. Don’t bottle it up and hope that they’ll somehow guess - they won’t. They’re not psychic and they’ve probably got 101 other things to worry about. Think of it like this: Could you do your job if nobody was ever honest with you about you previous days performance.
If you’re tempted to default to thinking of line manager’s as the enemy, consider that in most cases they are just trying to do their best while shouldering 10x the shit from their manager than is making it through to you.
Not saying there aren’t bad and/or narcissistic managers about, but I suspect most of the time they only appear that way due to the screws in their back from above.
I get that, and it was almost certainly Booking.com who leaked it as I have had shady messages through even their own messaging platform before…
I think what baffles me is that this gets so close to convincing (if you’re not internet savvy), and then they throw in something so bizarre like having a username of “Rus Education” 🙄
Unfortunately, I just don’t have the social capital to move people off of Meta messaging services… A good 50% of my friends have ditched FB, but somehow saw WhatsApp as the solution 🤦
I’ve got a relatively new Fedora install and I think I’ve seen this too - not had time to fully investigate, but have found on occasion if I leave it for a day the monitor brightness has wound down.
That’s cool, nothing bad ever happens when Germany’s economy tanks…
Based on how you’re observing the loading move from 100% CPU ro 100% GPU, I would suggest that it is “working” to some extent.
I don’t have any experience with that GPU, but here’s few things to keep in mind with this:
When you use a GPU for video encoding, it’s not the case that it’s ‘accelerating’ what you were doing without it. What you’re doing is switching from running a software implementation of an HEVC encoder on your CPU to running a hardware implementation of an HEVC encoder on your GPU. Hardware and Software encoders are very different to one another and they won’t combine forces; it’s one or the other.
Video encoders have literally hundreds of configuration options. How you configure the encoder will have a massive impact on the encoding time. To get results that I’m happy with for archiving usually means encoding at slower than real-time for me on a 5800X CPU; if you’re getting over 100fps on your CPU I would guess that you have it setup on some very fast settings - I wouldn’t recommend this for anything other than real-time transcoding. Conversely, it’s possible you have slower settings configured for your GPU.
Video encoding is very difficult to do “well” in hardware. Generally speaking software is better suited to the sort of algorithms that are needed. GPUs can be beneficial in speeding up an encode, but the result won’t be as good in terms of quality vs file size - for the same quality a GPU encode will be bigger, or for the same file size a GPU encode will be lower quality.
I guess this is a roundabout way of suggesting that if you’re happy with the quality of your 100fps CPU encodes, stick with it!
Single GPU with scripts that run before and after the VM is active to unload the GPU driver modules from the kernel.
I think this was my starting point and I had to do just a few small tweaks to get it right for my setup - i.e. unload and reload the precise set of kernel modules that block GPU passthrough on my machine.

At this point from a user experience p.o.v it’s not much different to dual booting, just with a different boot sequence. The main advantage though is that I can have the Windows OS on a small virtual harddrive for ease of backup/clone/restore and have game installs on a dedicated NVME that doesn’t need backing up
I’ve been 100% linux for my daily home computing for over a year now… With one exception… To be honest I didn’t even try particularly hard to make gaming work under Linux.
Instead I have a Windows VM - setup with full passthrough access to my GPU and it’s own NVME - just for Windows gaming. To my mind now it’s in the same category as running console emulation.
As soon as I click shutdown in windows, it pops me straight back into my Linux desktop.
This video of one of the rioters getting repeatedly struck with bricks thrown by his own mates is well worth a watch… Or two… Or three…
I had some hard to track down intermittent network issues when I upgraded from LMDE5 to LMDE6 - the solution was to get a newer kernel from backports - its fairly painless…
I don’t usually take scissors to the bar with me
