Anything from Etymotic never failed me. The current ER3 SE has been going for 7 years, and the cable is replaceable (when/if it fails — they're still on the original cable).
All Etys have a peculiar love/hate neutral sound profile, so you should try them before committing to them. I exclusively listen to podcasts, so they're a perfect match.
I also have a pair of Shure IEMs, some 15-16 years old. They still work great, but I've been through at least 2 cables with them, plus an additional 3rd party Lightning cable. I've then switched to BT and couldn't be happier.
Yeah, paying a tad bit more for earphones with replaceable cables pays dividends. A cable doesn't cost much, and you also get much better sound quality (which has to count, right? Since BT sound quality often comes as an argument).
I also have a pair of these and they sound really good. Then I received a pair of the Shure Aonic 4s for Christmas one year and those sound amazing. As an added bonus, the passive noise isolation with proper fitting eartips beats any noise cancellation I've ever seen.
I am not sure I fully grasp what’s at stake here. Does it mean that:
* Only 1 person at a time can borrow play a retro game physically (in a dedicated library) even if there are more than 1 copies available
* Libraries cannot offer remote access to their retro games (I wonder, can libraries offer that for books? In know my university library had a digital library but that’s it) even if safeguarded
I don’t really understand the actual consequences of this new ruling, the article doesn’t really explain that in my opinion.
The big deal is that it can’t be over the Internet, even if restrictions are in place to ensure only one user can access one copy at a time.
Zediva and Aereo had the same issue, albeit in a commercial application. I was hoping libraries would be given a little more freedom since their purpose is educating the public.
Yes, but that’s not the impressive bit. The impressive bit is that a piece of software with a hologram projector (unless you were at the last Coachella, in which case it was the screen for you) sells out concerts worldwide and puts on a performance for “her” fans.
Yes, you'd just need to have a way to provide input (probably easiest as a demo file), and a machine big enough to simulate the pattern.
You'd definitely be waiting for a while to see any action, though :P
What I saw in a YT video related to piracy [0] was that game companies remove their DRM after the game has been effectively pirated, since it doesn't really matter anymore, and cost them money + worse experience for paying end-users.
The guy in the video makes the point that: Game is released --> paying users suffer the lower perf caused by DRM while pirates crack it --> pirates succeed, company removes DRM, paying users benefit from improved perf ^^
Hofstadter talks about such paradoxes in his book -- from what I remember, the paradox stems from self-reference (he also uses the example of "adjectives that describe themselves", aka the Grelling–Nelson paradox)
If someone were able to properly see themselves and evaluate themselves they are going to be much less likely to be arrogant as they will also consider their flaws
