- Comment on Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!? 3 days ago:
Yeah I don’t think there is anything of value to be found here. I added another comment highlighting the problems I see with this test here.
- Comment on Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!? 3 days ago:
Adding to this, as I have now skimmed over the original video in question by ANA[DIA]LOG: He already introduces the topic by clearly stating that he is strongly biased towards “cables make a difference”, I can only assume he lacks the necessary fundamentals about what a cable does. He describes his test track to have “a lot of frequencies”. We don’t know about the gear he used, and he chose a singular test which cant’ be replicated as it has too many muddying variables. The data he shared had to be sanitized by you, to even give any chance of an objective interpretation, which really is impossible in these circumstances. When his test shows some differences, rather than being surprised and questioning the sanity of his test-setup, he just accepts the result that satisfies his bias. This is not science, this is a grifter trying to sell snake oil to the gullible.

Maybe you’ve heard about a page called Audio Science Review. The owner amirm did some tests with a much more sane setup which he describes in detail. He actually finds his high priced cable (well above 2000 USD in this case) to perform worse than the cheap ones if anything, picking up more noise. I will trust his objective measurements any time of the day, this guy actually knows what he’s doing.
- Comment on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - PC Announce Trailer (March 19) 4 days ago:
It does have a lot of improvements but sadly literally falls flat on what made the first one so enjoyable to me. I loved having to think about my routes and using tools in order to traverse a train that was not made for traversal. Now everything basically has a more or less direct walking path. You get the truck very early on and it will be your do-it-all almost the whole way through. I bought a PS5 just to play this game early…

The knowledge base really could use a lot of improvement. The basic ticketing and agile board system works quite well though.

- Comment on Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison 1 month ago:
This is not a proper test. Windows does optimizations on the first few boots which makes the startup take longer. As it’s not mentioned in the video, we have to assume this was not accounted for, which completely invalidates the results.
- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 1 month ago:
I feel that. My new workstation will have 128 GB, I’m very excited about it
- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t be happy with 8 GB of RAM regardless of OS.
- Comment on Where do you store your bind mounts? 1 month ago:
I have multiple compose stacks with one folder each, and they also contain all the bind volumes and any other extra files needed.
- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 2 months ago:
Stirring hype has failed too many times. I’m sure they have big plans for the game and it’s going to be very good. However, promising so much so early just screams incoming drama to me.

You don’t have to sue anyone. You can ask the offenders to correct their website and if they don’t, give a notice to the data protection authority in your country and they will handle it from there.

- Comment on MY WINTER CAR - Cinematic Trailer 2 months ago:
From the Steam page:
BE WARNED: This game is for players who already master the challenge of My Summer Car. Definitely not recommended for any player not familiar with the original installment.
Very interesting, I really like that approach. However even the first game looks like you need to know a lot about cars beforehand (feel free to correct me on that). Let’s hope enough people will buy it.

Okay you can now control the shadow casting behavior of every single entity in the game individually. Happy?

It never fails to amaze me, how much C-level people are disconnected from reality.
- Comment on Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’ 2 months ago:
I would primarily understand it as being free of generative AI (picture and sound), which is what is most obvious when actually playing a game. I’m personally not against using LLMs for coding if you actually know what you’re doing and properly review the output. However at that point most will come to the conclusion that you could write the code manually anyways and probably save time.

That is my observation too. Money is no longer the end goal, it’s now the means for unlimited power play with the general society.
