@allquixotic heh, would need to get a dongle and new speakers. As opposed to a dongle or PCI card ;p

I might be able to jerryrig it through my monitor.

I just am kinda worn out.

bwDraco

04:09

@JourneymanGeek Does your monitor have audio out? This shouldn't be so hard.

Journeyman Geek

@bwDraco one does! But I need to find it

the other has crappy internal speakers that seems to work.

bwDraco

Both of my monitors do. My current setup has audio fed through the Dell S2417DG and into speakers.

Speaking of which... I keep forgetting that there are USB 3.0 ports on it :p

(and yes, the cable is hooked up)

Journeyman Geek

05:12

this is a tiny bit odd

I just turned on a QOS rule on my main server (yes, I've been mucking around and apparently breaking stuff) that sets SMB to low priority. APPRENTLY that solved some of the issues I had with backups slowing down the rest of my network segment .. without actually affecting my smb transfer speed

bwDraco

06:40

Well... my PXC 550 is behaving differently between when the power is on and when the power is off. If I put the left earcup on my ear and rotate the right earcup to turn it on or off, after accounting for volume differences, the bass is apparently slightly stronger when the headphones are off. This is tested with ANC turned off.

The headphones can be driven through a wired connection when off (e.g. when the battery is depleted), but the amplifier used when powered on has a noticeably nonlinear frequency response.

Now, this isn't meant to be audiophile-grade, but a $400 pair of headphones ought to have excellent sound quality. I would suppose that Sennheiser did some tuning that relies on the amplifier being active, since the unit turns on when the earcups are in the listening position.

Regardless, the sound quality is well beyond anything else I've worked with. A slightly nonlinear frequency response isn't really a serious problem.

(@allq)

Effect mode is off FWIW.

Journeyman Geek

that's actually pretty normal for ANC

there's actually a little amp as part of the ANC circuit IIRC

bwDraco

I'm well aware of that. When powered on, all audio signals pass through an internal amplifier. ANC can't possibly work without an amplifier.

And some degree of amplifier nonlinearity is to be expected. The question is how much, and how it affects the perceived output.

As such, this is not a defect, but a design characteristic.

Journeyman Geek

06:58

not much when you actually need ANC

That REDACTED Guy

Well, dev (at least some aspects of it) is much easier and streamlined on Linux or Mac

Or so I heard, I have no experience with this stuff ~~on Windows~~

Surely .net stuff will be much easier (or only possible) on Windows...

user226528

I've never seen anything as good as Visual Studio on Linux or Mac.

ToxicFrog

14:19

@ThatREDACTEDGuy .NET stuff is definitely possible on not-windows; I don't know how stuff like MonoDevelop stacks up against VS.NET, though.

user226528

Yes. .NET Core is cross-platform.

ToxicFrog

@FleetCommand VS is great (assuming you like IDEs in the first place) if you're working in the windows ecosystem. If you're not, or if you're doing cross-platform development, it rapidly gets painful. As does the lack of a package manager.

user226528

I only develop for the dominant platforms: Android and Windows. (Well, I am not a developer anymore.) I've used Delphi and Eclipse in the past (respectively for Windows and Android) but now Visual Studio does it all.

user226528

Linux development is painful. I don't go that way.

user226528

And as for Mac, Apple doesn't sell in my country. Almost no one has Macs here.

Bob

14:48

@ToxicFrog I'm not entirely sure how a package manager is relevant to dev...

ToxicFrog

@Bob it's super handy to be able to pull in library dependencies (or dev tools) with a single command rather than needing to manually download and unpack everything

(and then make sure your program is packaged with all the stuff it depends on, because god knows the OS won't install that stuff for the user)

Bob

@ToxicFrog I've also used VS as a code browser and editor and then compiled on Linux... because all the other IDE options were shit (and even Vim + plugins or cscope didn't really work out)

@ToxicFrog Ah. Library dependencies: NuGet

though I suppose that doesn't really apply for native code

ToxicFrog

I've never used nuget but I thought it was .NET specific?

Bob

@ToxicFrog Technically people have distributed full applications over it (see: OneGet, Chocolatey). But it's not usually used for native libraries, I think.

That said, it can be

@ToxicFrog Also, which was the latest VS you used?

I think NetBeans and Code::Blocks are my favourite non-VS IDEs and even then they're kinda eh in comparison.

djsmiley2k

@ToxicFrog plz get better os.

Bob

14:56

VSCode is getting up there, though. At least for scripts; I've not tried it for C++ yet.

ToxicFrog

@Bob not sure, this was around...2013? 2012? I haven't really been paying attention since I stopped having to care about windows for school or work.

I haven't used code::blocks in a looooong time, I remember it basically being like VS but slightly worse in every way, but this was like...2004?

Bob

@ToxicFrog Ah. 2015 and especially 2017 added/improved support for Makefile-based projects and remote debugging (incl. on Linux)

ToxicFrog

NetBeans I haven't used, IDEA is ok if you're using one of the languages it likes and have huge amounts of RAM, and Eclipse can die in a fire

Bob

@ToxicFrog Not used IDEA (paying for VS is expensive enough...), and I fully agree with Eclipse dying in a fire :P

@ToxicFrog What do you use now?

Funny thing about packaging. I can do simple archive deployments, easy. InnoSetup and other script-based installers, pretty easy. Finally figured out WiX (with the help of WixSharp) last month.

Supergirl is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Otto Binder and designed by artist Al Plastino. Supergirl first appeared in a story published in Action Comics #252 (May 1959) titled "The Supergirl from Krypton". Kara Zor-El is the biological cousin of Kal-El (Superman). Since the character's comic book debut, Kara Zor-El's Supergirl has been adapted into various media, including merchandise, television, and film.
