| Streaming question I used to use OpenVNC a number of years ago, and was happy with it. It appears to have been forked a few times. A reasonable looking version (which should be free based on the GPL license) is at https://tigervnc.org i have not used this particu... | |
| Insurance for system What you’re looking for is called a Personal Articles Policy. It’s used to insure things like art collections, stereo equipment, and other expensive collectibles. It’s one of the cheapest insurance types to have; don’t try to list these on your re... | |

| A.I. music @falconquest I will argue until I'm blue in the face that AI is not a source of creativity equal to that of the consciousness of humans. Another perspective: We think of intelligence as an individual thing. But another way to look at it is a... | |
| A.I. music @mahgister Well articulated, and I share your pessimism... also, like you, optimistic in the long run, should we survive the short-term consequences of our actions. Read up on the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter... this could be one of the de... | |

| A.I. music @hilde45 Be nice if we cured cancer with A.I., no? That’s in part what I’m working on. Caveat: for reasons too complex to go into here, my belief is that we will never completely cure cancer, because the same mechanisms that drive and optimiz... | |

| Can DDC of another brand be used on Denafrips Dac?Audio GD etc No experience with the Audio-GD DI-20HE (it looks awesome, btw!), but I have successfully used a Holo Audio Red in DDC mode, feeding it USB to convert to I2S for a Pontus II. I have the Iris as well, and it's great, but I was curious about I2S ou... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @nyev And, one kid is playing games online and the other is FaceTiming friends in a marathon call. @wsrrsw Have you asked, bribed or manacled your kids and others to cease web activity during the sound downturn times? There is a much bet... | |
