I was just being silly in don’t see anything strange about their hands to be honest. But it’s funny to me that “AI hands” is something we look for now 🙂

Yeah that's a great source but how did they made the hands so AI-looking back in 2011 🤨

It's basically an NEC VR4300. Produced by NEC based on a MIPS R4300i.

Yeah, as low as $61 on Amazon for 1TB. Pretty amazing if you're old like me and remember diskettes.

Billionaires of lemmy, what, if any, are some of the draw backs of capturing traditional media sources and having them do your bidding? in c/[email protected]

Dealing with 6 different media companies is exhausting. You have no idea. When they finally merge my staff will only need to pay one of them. More time for everyone to play golf. Win-win.

Is the thousand applications and 50 interviews post real? in c/[email protected]

Companies use the same kind of systems to (poorly) automate the search for candidates, which is also spammy, inefficient, and wastes job-seekers time. This just levels the playing field.

Israeli military says Iran has fired missiles at Israel in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

My guess is it depends on the damage this attack will cause. If the missiles are all shot down or hit desert, it will be some punitive F-35 strike on an Iranian airfield somewhere. But if there's significant damage and casualties it could escalate.

I don't think Iran is going to risk all out war with Israel and the US. I suspect they expect most of their missiles (like the drones) to be shot down. Perhaps that's wishful thinking though...

How is Patrick Boyle (Finance YouTuber) regarded as a trusted source of information despite most of his videos lacking sources? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Who considers Patrick a trusted source of information? He’s basically doing comedy news with a focus on finance. Entertaining, interesting, but not like a full-on serious reporter.

It’s surprisingly calming to listen to Patrick cathartically vent, after what must’ve been a stressful education and career in finance.

Keep Lemmy small. Make the influence of conversation here uninteresting.

What's going on? Everyone interacting with Lemmy world seems to be getting banned for "URL Blacklist" and lots of comments are being "Removed by mod". Communities are being removed also.

Best amp/fx setup for that classic metal sound at home (lemmy.world)
 

I mostly play and enjoy the sound of "classic" metal. 1980s Judas Priest. Metallica. Maiden. Etc.

What's a good amp/fx setup to reproduce this sound at modest volumes?

I have a friend with a Marshall stack, which sounds amazing but I have neither the budget or the space for something like this. I currently have a Fender amp with a Boss GT-1 effects pedal, which is quite good but no matter what I do I never quite get this to reproduce the tone I'm looking for.

Will a small Marshall combo amp like a MG30GFX work for me? Does it make sense to go for low-wattage tube amps over solid state? Thoughts?
