Pryor on Fire posted:Honestly if you could go back in time only once and murder either the inventor of the internet in the crib or Hitler in his crib wouldn't it be way better for humanity to just abort the internet? Also we wouldn't have to deal with Tipper in that timeline so seems like an easy choice. the internet is inevitable with computing technology.

going digital -> analogue -> digital would also cost more money so you can be sure as poo poo manufacturers aren’t going to do that. I have a couple of these things and the SPDIF interface shows up in Windows as such, and volume control does not affect it.

nice the star tech one ended up costing double the amount when importing it to norway due to import duty and expensive postage, so i found out that a nearby store actually has the asus xonar u3 in store.. is there any reason i shouldn't get that one? tankakern turns yospos into shsc

if it was windows i wouldn't buy anything asus because of the hosed up ~enhanced experience~ drivers they're bundling, but it's for linux so I guess it'll just work might have to open it and destroy those leds though or just tape over them of course

I legit miss when fonts were aggressively hinted into the pixel grid. looks so sharp on a modern display but modern fonts that expect antialiasing look awful with ClearType off
