My favorite controller hahhaha

This will work, as long as you both have the same client version.

Your memory is in line with mine, I have no idea what pro-piracy things the previous commenter is referring to, but would like to read about it.

I absolutely did! I was really hoping to teach a class about audio at a nearby university, but was told last minute that they can't give it to me for bureaucratic reasons. It's my dream to teach someday so I'm hopeful that I will find another University that will let me teach

I work in audio and had a thesis in DSP, so I'll try to explain this. It is an interesting idea, and in some cases could work, but wouldn't be practically useful in most.

So there's 2 types of audio encoding: Lossy and Lossless. All audio starts as lossless, and in many cases is converted to lossy to reduce the file size. The processing for this is NOT like compression, and is somewhat context aware in that it removes frequencies you wouldn't hear because something else is more present and causing your ear not to really hear it (this is called masking).

If you were to upscale something that is lossless, it would probably work. Barring any inter sample peaks, you'd be inferring additional points in a waveform and that's fine. They're actually some audio plugins that do this as an intermediate step when processing a signal.

If you try to upscale something that is lossy, you can't recreate what was removed, because there isn't a way to infer that information anymore. It would be like if you were trying to upscale a photo but you'd already removed a dog that was somewhat obscured by a man's hand. Even if you upscale the picture you can't add the dog without somebody telling you that it was there before removal.

The other part of the equation is "why?", and while I'm a bit of an audiophile and I have my collection of lossless audio, the limitations of the system are typically the human ear. CD quality, (16-bit at 44.1 Khz), is really all you'd ever need. Most people can't hear above 20 kilohertz (if you're over 18, you're lucky if you even get close to that). In digital audio, you can reproduce any frequency in equal to or less than half of the sample rate. With 44.1Khz, that frequency is 20,050hz. If you want to go really crazy, DVD quality (24 bit at 48Khz). I consider anything about that nice to have from a archival and measurement standpoint, but there's no point in terms of human listening.

I have thought about that, the issue is I'd need to re-run all but 1 of my Ethernet cables to a place where I can put the Celeron box. Once I start messing around with VLANs this is probably what I'll do, but it's going to be a big project.

I'm definitely going to give Adguard Home a shot.

Any thoughts on the best solution for now, basically putting the firewall in between the router and modem? If I plug it into a LAN port on the router and set up DHCP so it is the new gateway, that should work, right? I really wish I could plug it into the WAN port but I don't think DHCP will traverse the WAN to LAN ports on the router.

I don't see any reason to believe that it would be different from the rockstar launcher. You can still buy rockstar games from steam.

Where are you seeing anything saying that CD project red games won't be sold on the GOG store?

I finished it yesterday. Played through the ending twice, and was planning to do it more but the second ending was so perfect and imperfect at the same time, that it just felt like it was the ending I wanted.

Amazing game, now I'm looking for similar ones!

I was a teenage exocolonist. I hadn't even heard of it, but it's one of the best games I've played in the last 5 years.

Kind of a visual novel, card puzzler, and social sim. Like if persona had poker instead of turn based battles.

Do you need transformer isolation? If you're not sure you almost certainly don't. I've been working in studios for 10 years and most of the time you just want a mult.
