Analog connections are very universal. You don't need to deal with handshakes between devices, sample rate differences, clock systems etc. because each device receives and outputs analog signal via mostly the same 1/4" jacks and plugs.

While a digital signal chain would have overall latency benefits and fewer A/D/A conversions, it just doesn't matter that much with modern hardware.

So they are bringing back what is left of the units they moved to Ukraine?

What a nonsense article. Shareholders have never motivated workers in any way, so this is like saying, "Water is wet." Then they quote some Tiktok crap?

Companies catering to shareholder whims and the demand for perpetual share value growth are the reasons why many companies go to shit when eventually that growth comes from layoffs, worse work conditions etc.

Pay your workers fair wages, offer a good work/life balance and keep them happy to work for you and they will go above and beyond.

Movies are unrealistic because they never show the angry stud finder part of punching walls.

You ever manage to hack into the Pentagon by furiously typing for about 5 seconds?

Some kids claimed you could run faster if you hold your fingers straight, because that's how T-1000 (Robert Patrick) runs in Terminator 2.

God just doesn't want the paparazzi hounding him.

"Can't smite even one guy without everyone going all New Testament on you and writing about it in the newspaper", said the Lord when asked for a comment.

I think you could do almost anything for a day. One day is "Here's Jim, he's new, and we are going to show him how we do things here" stuff where little actual work happens.

A month would be a more realistic situation. I wouldn't want to be military in an active war zone, work for a drug/trafficking cartel, or any other dangerous profession where the likelihood of dying or going to prison is high. Or professions where I'd have to actively harm people.

That's why lifestyle creep is a tough one. You make more money and then start thinking you want a bigger home, nicer car, eat out a lot more etc. It's hard to scale back from that when the times get tougher as selling a multi-million home isn't that easy.

The punchline was "It's a good shart ", right?

Infinite growth and the shittification of services and products while exploiting labor to make that happen are the real problems.

Billionaires should not exist and companies should be doing what is best for the company, its employees and customers, not what pleases their stockholders.

The future in Terminator is set in the year 2029. The movies just missed the mark by a few decades so we can expect the machine uprising in 2029 and the future hellscape ruled by machines is 2049.
