sickofallthebollocks Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Maybe it's my imagination, but my Ears/brain gets tired from listening to music drawn from a digital source, such as mp3 etc.. the music seems too harsh and lacks finesse, I find the same with cd's. I've been thinking about buying a DAC (digital analogue converter) for a long time and have never got round to it, this may be of interest if you are interested in how your music sounds, there are many people who say it is far better to listen to anything on an analogue signal, with far greater depth, warmth, detail, and also more natural. https://www.whathifi.com/advice/dacs-what-is-a-dac-and-do-you-need-one Edited April 10, 2022 by sickofallthebollocks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaticWorld Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Google’s "Soli" Radar Chip: Real-Time Biometric Data Collection: "For example, since 2014, Google has been working on Project Soli, a very low-power, miniature 60 GHz radar device on a chip that can easily fit into a typical smartphone. It comes from Google’s Advanced Technology and Products division. Google’s new radar chip looks much more promising than smart clothing because of its extensive range of uses, including more problematic ones… like collecting real-time biometric data." https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/google-radar-chip/ Video reveals how Google designed the Soli sensor to always be on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFr8Whnx630 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2897824.2925953 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaticWorld Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 The FBI is spending millions on social media tracking software: "The FBI has contracted for 5,000 licenses to use Babel X, a software made by Babel Street that lets users search social media sites within a geographic area and use other parameters. The FBI awarded the contract for 5,000 Babel X licenses after telling contractors it wanted software to “gather information” from “Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Deep/Dark Web, VK and Telegram.” Also on the list: The FBI listed a slew of “preferable” — but not required — platforms, including 8Kun, Discord, Gab, Parler, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok and Weibo. In contracting documents, the FBI estimates that its 5,000 licensees will run around 20,000 keyword searches every month, though it cautioned that that’s “merely an estimate.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/05/fbi-is-spending-millions-social-media-tracking-software/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
