@lore Excluding for the Floyd Rose Locking System and some other one that people don't care about. Active pickups were a big development that enabled essentially all guitars to sound the same. That might seem dumb but it allows an Audio Engineer to quickly and reliably set up a new guitar.

There has been a lot of work on guitars over the years. At the end of the day it's a stringed instrument and there's always something wrong with it. Metal and wood have different expansion points and Steel rusts. The knife edge bridge was introduced around 70 and I've performed with one of those. A super strat from 40 years later performs better and more reliably.

If you can't tell, guitars would have to be included with Keyboards. Small changes make a big difference. I've run soundboards for performances. I think I had 48 channels on one, 12 channels on another...knobs and sliders. Having to manage Analog and Digital instruments during a performance is really fun. By fun I mean having to cut volume on the speakers near the bass guitar so it wasn't picking up the vibrations from the other instruments and managing the intricacies of each instrument while maintaining sound quality for recording. Two recording systems running at the same time along with around 24 different microphones.

I should probably start putting some of this stuff down so I can use it in my CV. I've done a fair amount of audio work in years. It's just that there were systems from the 70s, 80s and 90s that were being used. Needless to say, there were two ABC fire extinguishers within reach with a shutdown procedure in case of a fire.

The only fires were due to an old Roland amp, a keyboard that was destroyed and the thing that a Hammond B3 uses. None of those were my problem.

@thor I usually only approach the women who like flannel shirts but none have let anything other than amusement or anger show. Maybe it will be successful one day.

@lore Apart from enthusiast hardware, it's very underwhelming. The last cool synth thing I saw was the pad that Muse used in Madness. Aside from that pad thing, nothing really significant in big brand innovations.

Meanwhile enthusiasts made kits to recreate the legendary synths and much more. It just seems like a stagnant market in many ways. MIDI has seemingly changed more than synthesizers have.

@brainwart I remember having to work on an older version and I have to say something. Lenovo UEFI has backdoors and it's going to get hit with a rootkit that bypasses the security of the system. It's really deplorable to the point where I would recommend not using one at all.

Linux worked fine once I did a little trick to get UEFI to load Ubuntu. Performance was good, hardware support was fantastic and it seems that the Linux system wasn't affected by the malware in UEFI. I still wouldn't trust it.

To summarize, I would not recommend getting a Lenovo at all. Framework might be a better option because the security on Lenovo is absolutely horrifying.

@freemo @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance Bigoted asshats on bath salts trying to smash with their cousins but with gentrification that will certainly fix all the problems.

@VPS_Reports Just a typical day in California I presume.

@lore I've seen his code, yeah he will make it. Funny things happen when going from DSP to x86-64 to ARM. Not really funny but infuriating.

@thor Try Yerba Mate as it's easier on the stomach.

@lore whoop!

@thor @pre That's strangely beautiful.
