@avie Thank you for posting about opus recently, which made me want to try it out!

oh dang opus is pretty impressive!!

12 hours of stereo electronic music, at 48kHz, and under 700mb in size, while still sounding good?? I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it!!

all these age verification laws when I could simply log into my router (provided by a major UK ISP) and activate parental controls

any parent with internet can just do this without the law creating a Great British Firewall

"Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump #CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe."

"A team of volunteer archivists has recreated the Centers for Disease Control website exactly as it was the day Donald Trump was inaugurated. The site, called RestoredCDC.org, went live Tuesday and is currently being hosted in Europe…Restored CDC isn’t going to have continuous updates on this type of healthcare and disease guidance, but it has brought back all of the critical data that was purged in an easy to use, easy to navigate, and fast website."

Here's the site itself.

I need more youtube channels where they're going over the code of reverse engineered games

just Displaced Gamers isn't enough, even if super awesome.

I think to start with I should is just get the pi playing audio through the speakers and then measure how much power it all draws

@trans_lykanthropie Yeah even when we saw it in the 90s it wasn't that impressive x3

The mocap movements and synchro-vox mouths were very odd, lol

The boombox in question is a Panasonic RX-5010ls (the one pictured is not mine), but it's pretty worse for wear and the radio was the only thing that worked (for about six months, lol) and parts of it are falling apart.

Plan is to take it apart, give it a good clean, and then work out how to wire the raspberry pi into the speakers. I'd like to keep the actual audio parts (as it does have volume, balance, and tone) but time and ability are factors. x3
