I’ve had a set of KRK Rokit 8s for 10 years now and they’re great. I’ve had them absolutely cranked for some parties and they haven’t showed any signs of giving up. Perhaps not the best studio monitors out there but the price to performance ratio combined with how long they’ve lasted makes them one of the better audio purchases I’ve made.

Where did they say opinion, I don’t see an edit on their comment.

I think the idea is to create a ton of noise in the 2.4GHz band which is commonly used to control drones. It’s not going to “cook” a drone at distances further than a few feet, you’d need a maser (microwave laser) for that.

How’s it surreal? Malware installing crypto miners is very common.

“Yeah, well, I really don’t think we have time for a hand job.“

I use Bandcamp and redacted to fill my NAS, which runs Plex with a lifetime Plex Pass. For playback I use PlexAmp on Windows, iOS, and macOS. Very pleased with the radio / shuffle functions, sometimes it’ll absolutely nail a beat- and key-matched cross fade. Great for local library discovery.

My music library has continuity all the way back to 2000, I’ve still got a few vintage Napster MP3s from the 56k days.

Doesn’t matter, if you do things for yourself that’s intrinsic motivation. Doing it for money, because it pays the bills, or some other reason outside yourself would be an extrinsic motivation.

intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation.

You never do things for yourself? No hobbies or anything that are basically “pointless” aside from your own personal satisfaction? Never done something to challenge or better yourself with no reward from someone or something else?

It’s really not about that, but seeing as mods are deleting my posts I’ll see myself out. Real nice being censored for the first time.

All those sources you posted don’t refute what you quoted from the other comment. Seems like a “not as bad as” logical fallacy at play. The other poster didn’t say the US was without fault; even though the US has killed many people doesn’t make the actions of those other regimes any less bad.

Following the trail to the real source of the 90% figure, this doesn’t appear to be a current statistic.

The success rate for the U.S.-designed Excalibur shells, for example, fell sharply over a period of months — to less than 10 percent hitting their targets — before Ukraine’s military abandoned them last year, according to the confidential Ukrainian assessments.

This also is only regarding GPS jamming, which isn’t the only method of navigation. I feel the article is exaggerating quite a bit. I have no doubt GPS jamming was quite effective a year ago, I also have no doubt the Ukrainians have adapted since then.

Source is suspect, basically some dude’s blog. I’d take this with a grain of salt.

Because it’s good to get rid of old equipment, at least from the military’s perspective. They get money for the old hardware and now can justify getting more new stuff.

Been rocking a set of ER-20xs for years now and I’d not see live music without them. It’s like having your own personal volume knob. I can put them in and get right near the speakers without blowing my ears out, or hang out by the sound guy with them only partially inserted.

I had a pair of 30$ musicians earplugs, but they really changed what I could hear. At concerts I couldn’t understand the lyrics; basically they changed the audible frequencies too much.

Sounds like they weren’t musicians earplugs after all. What brand? I’ve been using some Etymotic plugs for a while now and I like em for concerts. Gotta protect those ears!
