The struggle was, when the power was already attached and not easily reached without moving furniture and you had to switch something, thus trying to this without seeing.
Idk about everyone else but these were heavy-ass blocks of metal and plastic that were placed on these tiny-ass desks that felt like they’d tip over if I turned them around enough. I literally had to put my head against the wall to be able to see between the little gap I had to work with. lol
Not only that. People used stars and other predictive technics to navigate their lives, warfare included. Methodical collection of the basics made it the ABC of war. Man invented it as the science.
I understand finding these things funny when you are a cool, level-headed person or not in a moment of fight or flee situation, but many of us fall prey to dumb reasoning in emotional situations.
Going slightly off-topic, but I’d wager many people have spent a lot of unnecessary money or gone to jail in the heat of the moment. And many of Sun Tzu’s or Lao Tzi’s (Tao) advice is like: “stop, breathe, and think it through mofo, stop being an impulsive idiot and paying a high price for it”
Nobody who is at risk of getting in a bar fight is having their life turned around by The Art of War. If you’re reasonable enough to take a breath and step back from that Chad about to pound your face in, it wasn’t Sun Tzu that did that.
I worked at Best Buy and you’ll be amazed at how many people couldn’t figure that out. I was also a genius for showing my in-laws how to select input to display their dvd player.
I won’t be worrying about the zombies … I’ll be in more danger from other healthy people who will all be going bat shit insane and want to kill me, the neighbor and everyone else around for food and supplies because they all want to live five minutes longer than me.
In the end the survivors will probably kill more survivors than the zombies will.
Exactly, I’ve spent my entire existence doing the right thing, the second it hits the fan I plan on going the Dexter route and letting loose and taking down the crazies.
This was kinda overstated though. It really only works when you already have a dataset of that specific type on that specific keyboard. It’s not gonna just work on anyone.
Good distinction. I imagine anyone typing into a google search bar with an android device nearby could have their keyboard mapped though, if Google ever wanted to do such a thing.
I’ve scrolled past this meme countless times, but somehow I didn’t think of this before now: What does an composite video signal sound like?Anyone have the hardware to test it out and record the sound for me?
I’ve opened serial terminals to serial mice, and I’ve abused /dev/dsp with random binaries I’ve fancied at the moment, but it never dawned on me to plug the red or white RCA jack into the yellow port in the mame of science, and now I only have audio RCA…
In the worse quality TV, putting the composite video into an audio line would make the speakers do a short distorted buzz, then cutoff. The higher quality TVs won’t even flinch. Their internal processing was fast enough to detect the wrong thing was connected, that the signal modulation never even made it to the amplifier. But to our ears it was probably just a bunch of electronic farts.
I do t m ow what it sounds da like but i know what it looks like. It’s basically modulating for every line of your TV high is bright and low is black with a marker for each line.
S-video was a mini DIN connector which wouldn’t have fit into one of these RCA jacks.
If you’d put composite video (the yellow RCA cable in this setup) into one of the audio jacks, pretty much all TVs would not do anything with it as an incompatible signal. If they actually tried to turn it into something, it wouldn’t be audible. Composite video generates a signal at something like 5-10Mhz, human hearing tops out around 20Khz (250-500x lower)
You can always drag out the signal to frequency shift it or something similar. It’s done all the time in astronomy as an example to create visualizations.
I guess it depends how much of a frequency shift you do, but I imagine with the blanking intervals it will mostly just sound like a nasty sawtooth wave?
