Or was it Meavis Bacon? I like bacon.

Well it's gone. I deleted it. If I could remember the name I'd say it. There are hundred of such widgets in the Google play store. Just pay attention to the permissions when you install or upgrade something.
It broke. Maybe to encourage me to 'upgrade'.
But he certainly was hungry.
Recently I've had a spate of 'updates' to android apps that are asking for me to approve additional privileges.
One instance was a button on the main page to turn wifi on and off (rather than digging into the settings menu). This was quite useful.
Then it got an update and wanted access to post on my behalf, the internet, my phone lists and a bunch of other things. So I uninstalled it.
This has happened several times. I'm guess it's a common attack vector.
But I could use a better language outside of the browser. JS isn't a terrible language, but it's no Python.

So it probably works.
The POS in my wife's yarn store is text mode (python+curses).
It makes it a heck of a lot easier to maintain and you can log in from anything with ssh.
>why? why do you want it to stop? does it make you feel you age? or do you think technology shouldn't move on?
I think they should concentrate on making better monitors. 10,000" TVs from Costco are done. No living room can contain them.
So was I.
"LSB of a 16 bit DAC"
I've not noticed that to be true. I'll consult my Roku tonight.
Your volume knob doesn't have anything to do with the noise floor of the room and your ear. Certainly it adds some noise of its own, usually more than the quantization noise of the LSB of a 16 bit DAC with is in the same amplification chain, but is quite possible to do better if you pay attention to low noise electrical design.
In other words, I don't see a technical reason that 48KHz is better than 44.1KHz audio in the playback chain. It certainly has marketing merit, just like directional speaker wires and monster cables.
>You'll get fewer dithering artifacts at every frequency.
Interpolation and decimation are in every DSP course. The frequency ratio don't matter.
>But more importantly, bumping from 16-bit to 24-bit.
You're changing the subject. Nevertheless, the quantization noise floor at 16 bits is below the noise floor of your ears coupled to a room. 24 bits is handy during mastering because you can add and re-normalize without clipping.
Unless it was Oracle.
Fine.
Cibachrome was still awesome though.
