@bloor >reduce interference
>also reduce shielding
as long as he's having fun and not buying solid gold cables -

yea, verly!😮 🤣 -

Wacky, but doesn't beat the article where they compared the sound of digital music files stored on an NTFS file system versus those stored on an ext3 file system.
I can't remember which one won, but one of them reliably had a richer, fuller sound.

@bloor tbh, data centers would look way more cool if Ethernet cables looked like that.

@bloor audiophile usb cables hurt my brain too.
I would like one of these power cables for my toaster, though, ngl

@bloor@bloor.tw Why do I have the urge to see and hamster run thru it?

@bloor audiophiles are the biggest marks. they fall, in large numbers, for the "gold plated TOSLINK" trick.

@bloor@bloor.tw I've seen some wild "audiophile" nonsense, but ... whut?

@bloor I recall visiting a high-end audio shop maybe 25-30 years ago. They had a Denon single CD player, almost a cubic foot in volume, for $5000. I asked salesperson about "why?", and among its features was "no stray light can get and interfere with the laser." Hell, a runaway train couldn't budge it. Strangely, I did not purchase it.

@bloor power cables? They look like they're 20g wires shielded with a coat of white nail polish and hope. Anxiety inducing if there is actual power in them
-
I just don't understand through mindset that would look at those and say "Yeah! Perfect!"
I would die laughing if one of my mates proudly showed me his audio setup and they were included.
Then I'd leave and never return.

Starfleet Academy is excellent. I feel a little silly for not being more excited about it to begin with.

Ricevo dall'amico Paolo (che ringrazio) e ricondivido nel gruppo @Viaggi.
Alzi la mano chi non ha mai portato una power banco in aereo.
Purtroppo sono dispositivi che richiedono un minimo di attenzione, e accorgersi di non averla avuta a 9 km di quota non dovrebbe accadere.
Da qui i tentativi di regolamentarne l'uso o il trasporto di alcuni vettori.

Lazarustorm Lets a PiStorm Live Outside Your Old Amiga
The PiStorm is nothing new; if you’re familiar with the retrocomputer scene, you’ve probably heard of it. By replacing the 68k processor in an old Amiga (or some models of Atari) the PiStorm accelerator gives a multiple order of magnitude speedup. It’s even a reversable mod, plugging in where the original CPU was. What’s not to love? Well, some people would simply prefer to keep their original CPUs in place. [TME Retro] has a video highlighting the solution for those people: the Lazarustorm by [arananet].
It makes perfect sense to us– back in the day, you could plug a whole x86 PC-compatible ‘sidecar’ into your Amiga, so why not a PiStorm? The whole bus is right there for the taking.The Lazarusstorm, as a project, is bog simple compared to the PiStorm itself. A PCB and the connectors to get it plugged into the expansion port on the Amiga side, and the connectors to plug the PiStorm into it on the other. A couple of jumpers and a few passives, and that’s it. [TME Retro] also took the time to come up with a case for it, which sits on felt feet to relieve stress on the PCBs. It’s a nice bit of CAD, but we rather wish he’d done it in beige.
As for the upgraded Amiga, it runs just as fast as it would had the 68k been replaced with a Pi3 and PiStorm internally, which is to say it’s practically a supercomputer by 1980s standards. You get the SD card to serve as a hard drive and can even access the internet via modern WiFi, something Commodore engineers likely never expected an A500 to do. Of course, just connecting to the network is only half the battle when getting these retro machines online. When these accelerators were new, the 68k emulation ran on top of Linux, but now that the EMU68k project has it bare metal and even faster.
This isn’t the first Raspberry-flavoured slice of Amiga sidecar we’ve featured: here’s one running Spotify. If you haven’t got an Amiga, there’s a PiStorm for the FPGA-based MiniMig, too.
