As it should be.

Leave politics, and the conflict it invites, at the workplace's door.

Or go create a toxic work environment elsewhere.

You forgot the #hailcorporate.

While I'm not huge on having political discussions in the workplace, I also think employers should be accountable to their employees, and I think workplace organization to collectively express displeasure in a way that employers actually feel and are forced to respond to is 100% legit.

But that doesn't mean you should be afraid to lose your job if you sign a petition lol.

Amber is where it's at.

Sounds like textbook criminal negligence.

A public prosecutor should take this on.

If interested in rejuvenation, I would suggest investigating LEVF's Robust Mouse Rejuvenation.

RMR1 done and shows promise, RMR2 started recently.

>It should be pointed out that schools no longer forcing students with natural non-black hair to dye it black does not mean that students who do have naturally black hair are now allowed to dye it another color. Because of that, 20 high schools in 2022 will still have systems in place where students with naturally non-black hair submit a jigi shomeisho, or “certificate of natural hair” when not dying their hair black. Even this number is down from 55 in 2021, though, and overall Tokyo teens are going to enjoy greater freedoms as their schools treat them a little more like grownups.

Phew. Tradition is somewhat preserved. Children really shouldn't be dying their hair.

Why?

GBA games were made for a console that behaved like this.

Accuracy is paramount. Targeting else than the console's sound is an affront to preservation.

Preservation and design intent are two very different things.

The idea that sound designers on old games were totally siloed and ignorant of how their compositions would sound on final consumer hardware is completely wrong. Most of these composers were programmers themselves and knew exactly how to get the final hardware to make the sounds they wanted, even when they composed using more advanced tech.

Programmers using devkits (more powerful than the consumer hardware) likewise.

I don't understand what you mean. Nobody said they didn't know how their compositions would sound, my argument is that at least some of these composers would have chosen the more advanced interpolation method, if it were available.

I guess it's hard to stop my originalist tendencies from boiling over into other topics...

What you're saying to me is like someone saying, well, if the piano had more octaves then existing compositions would have been better. But those pieces were composed with the current amount of octaves in mind in the first place...

Maybe there's an analogue with the harpsichord-to-piano transition, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about that yet.

Haha, my first gut reaction to reading your second paragraph was "No, it'd be better to compare it to compositions written for harpsichord and played on piano".

I guess history has shown that most composers (and listeners) preferred the piano sound over the harpsichord sound the majority of the time.

That may be true, but the sound designers were still making the best of what they had. They could probably imagine how the same composition would sound better.

When you play e.g. Gamecube games in an emulator, do you run them in 480p or do you render at a higher resolution? The former is clearly what the designers were targeting, but I think there’s rarely any benefit to eschewing higher resolutions. It just looks even better.

sure, and you know what their design intent was right?

>what if, instead of accurately emulating how the GBA PWM hardware works, the emulator uses its own interpolation algorithm to resample from audio channels’ sample rates directly to the emulator’s audio output sample rate?

Then it would be less accurate to the actual console, and thus a worse emulator.

Accuracy isn't always the point of video game emulators since gaming experience is a subjective thing. Most of old games were crippled by the limitations of the hardware their run on. Inaccuracies can very much improve the experience, like removing sprite limits, displaying wider aspect ratios or in this case improving sound interpolation.

>improving sound interpolation.

To make it sound subjectively worse, for every sample in that page. Others noticed as much.

It sounds better... on paper. In reality, it doesn't, simply because it isn't how it is supposed to sound.

Because it is more profitable for smartphone makers if you need to buy a new one.

Unless there's legislation to force them to allow enrolling new keys or otherwise disabling secure boot, the abuse will continue.

Third party roms also do not include all the bloatware and spyware they are loading into the phone, they aren't a fan of losing control.

** Spyware and bloatware that they are being paid to load onto the phone unfortunately

This is true; there is additionally a valid argument that there is security benefit to locking down the bootloader. I don’t like locked down bootloaders, but I get the argument.

Yes, locked bootloaders secure the profits of the manufacturers who want to run crapware on your device for their benefit.

The hardware is theoretically yours but they won't allow you to use it in the way you want, it's shocking.

It should be well-known by now that throwing money at education doesn't solve a thing.

How are they gonna fix education, if they cannot even grasp:

    If the method does not work, try a different method.

And hopefully 64bit Steam Client.

(which isn't a thing yet on Linux)
