👍 completely valid. just pointing out windows is a malicious cohabitant on a drive

dual booting anything with windows (including another copy of windows) is an insufferable nightmare caused by windows.

Using the power of AI

Hallucinating your ethical consumption 🤦‍♀️

I really wish “AI” would die; machine vision and convolutional neural networks used in this application don’t have much to do with the large language models most people think of with the modern incarnation of the term ai

it would also un-shield any site from user generated content, making lemmy instance operators liable. all comment boxes on any site would disappear; the dead internet theory would become a reality overnight within the us

if your in the EU give fairphone a look, over 7 years of updates promised for the fairphone 5 in addition to being one of the more repairable phones out there

regardless of internal politics, the censure of such comments seems like NZ is happy make an appearance as an american lap dog in this light 🙁

tbh that just reinforces my growing distrust of the direction they are headed

I'd really like to see the mod team removed since they unilaterally took over the community

Soooo close; generally only condenser microphones require bias power, which is called phantom power in the professional audio world. Dynamic, ribbon and piezoelectric microphones do not need phantom power as the movent of the diaphragm directly creates the output voltage that is measured and applying phantom power does nothing, with the exception of ribbon mics which destroy themselves. But yes the 5v bias is the third connector to enable electret condensers microphones to work.

The standard way for guitar or bass amps to be hooked up to a live sound system is via microphones. Buying loud amps just for playing shows is something that should stay in the past. My personal opinion from working shows is the less onstage volume the easier it is to mix front of house and provide good monitor mixes to individual members of the band.
