adlai wonders when Vexual will 'get the memo' that /me does not read anything beyond "youtube link without context"; not the shortened url's chinese dyslexia, nor the page titles, nor any other alphabetic spiderpots

youtube link-dropping is almost, but not quite, as distracting as dropping a real-live-realdoll invitation to watch the latest Miss Director's Threerelease of Giant Shark Vs Megae Octopodes, ab Volcanio, provided that I first sign and then read the legalease stating that treatment will not necessarily be given by the doctor who handed me the paper.

in super simple untrainably mathematical ettiquette: ten hundred words = picture; ten hundred pictures, without about a dozen words <= not even one word. pure noise. music to my corneas, and that is an intentionally painful metaphor.

adlai goes back to wondering what is the best - not quickest, nor even cleanest, for life is too long to avoid lead like the plague - way to solder an S.NSA.FG to half a P/L cable.

ideally, readers understand that solder blobs almost provably contain zero metaphorical blobs, although this might be beyond the most managerial of snsabots.

~ 1 hours 31 minutes ~

asciilifeform

say, adlai , why wouldja want to solder it ? thing has 2.54mm header specially for that cable

17:42

adlai

what are you, splitting by length?

17:42

asciilifeform

?

17:42

adlai

solder DAC to "wrong end" of split-in-middle P/L cable

17:42

adlai

plug other end into electric anthill ^W^Wsoundsystem

17:43

asciilifeform

adlai: whythefuq wouldja do this ?

17:43

asciilifeform

i also dun know of a dac that eats rs232

17:43

adlai

so that I can hear easily ignorable noise more loudly than randos playing 3D tinder in the bench at the nearest street corner.

17:44

asciilifeform

adlai: you'll hear an entirely periodic bzzz simply cuz rs232 has a stop bit.

17:44

adlai

well that's if the DAC is the simplest possible DAC, yes.

17:44

asciilifeform

( and that's assuming you can find a dac that'll eat 115200bd at all )

17:45

adlai

if it is an amazing magic blob [metaphorical blob!] that collects bytes at baud, ring buffers some sane bitrate, and then does the right kind of whitening, I might actually get some undrugged sleep one day.

17:45

adlai

there, the word "buffers" in "ring buffers" is a verb.

17:45

asciilifeform

adlai: buy a whitenoise thing at yer local store, i saw'em even in uy, they aint any kinda rarity

adlai is sick of this game, lurk terminated, spam at me in #asciilifeform if you want to keep talking
