Something somewhat related to this low frequency sounds are "binaural beats" sounds that purposely generate infrasound. You wear headphones, and one ear gets a frequency, and the other gets a frequency that is shifted away slightly. so the two beat against each other, which produces that third sound.

They presumably get your brain to sync to the infrasound, in relation to the Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta frequencies naturally present in the human brain - depending on what the person is doing at the time.

I think they work. Way back in the day, I wrote a program for my Amiga to generate theta waves, and still use the ones on YT while I'm working. I find Theta to be relaxing, and Beta to be annoying.

So I agree with the premise that infrasound can have an effect on people. But that it is very frequency dependent. Some frequencies of infrasound might produce relaxing effects.

However, My guess is that people who "feel" infrasound and think it is a ghost, probably would think it was a ghost if they were in an old dusty crusty house regardless.

Offended the BeemerBoyz! They are so sensitive, and are easy to upset.

There is a YT channel called "I do Cars" a guy who disassembles blown engines to do a postmortem. The BMW engines are just a mess to work on - just overdone.

As for how they used to be, I've seen some WW1 German submarine engines which are well ahead of their time. Very impressive engineering. Butyour assessment is correct. I believe the BMW engineers are having fun, but at our expense.

Showing you their watch! Like a dick waving contest, only with watches.

You know - that sounds like fun, I think I'm going to do that for the lulz.

I stopped wearing watches years ago, as I was working with both high voltage and high current-low voltage. And it took a while to convince the wife why I needed to not wear my wedding band - showed her pictures of the gruesome results and missing fingers. Even had special no metal glasses.

But now, I could safely start wearing watches again, just for data, observing people's reactions. Thanks for the inspiration! 8^)

I'm not certain why this has to be implemented at kernel level. Not today.

So let's take this at a practical level. If you are familiar with Direwolf, the best software TNC, it will no longer work? That Serial communications are gone? Serial to USB dongles deprecated?

APRS programs like Xastir and any and all programs that use AX.25 will not function on any Linux using the 7.1 kernel?

I'm just responding to the article that says "Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core networking developers," and they specifically say 7.1 is dropping Amateur Radio support.

That is a non-ambiguous statement. I'm going to need to know, because there will be a panic among some Amateurs who read those unambiguous words.

Surely could have been worded better, like kernel level Amateur radio drivers that are no longer in use are removed, rather that implications that Linux 7.1 is cancelling Ham radio use.

He was interested in them. I thought erroneously at the time that they would be good vehicles - vaunted German engineering and all. Turns out to be if there is a way to overcomplicate something that's what they will do. Either way, I'm not going to impose my values on him.

The guy I replied to didn't mention them on he Tesla. Regardless, that should be on every vehicle now.

I'm curious what ham radio apps are affected that aren't available in much better form that run on modern equipment. And really, if you really wanted to run ancient applications on an ancient computer, there are ancient Linux distros. There's no law that says we have to be on the latest versions of Linux and its kernel.

Jeep has backup lines superimposed on the image, that in conjunction with a sensor on the wheels, moves around and tells you where you will end up if you continue backing up with the wheel turned in the direction you have it. plus green, yellow, and red distance markers You can back up like a Boss, make super accurate 3 point turns, and in the woods on narrow roads with a steep drop it can be a lifesaver. If someone is coming the other way and we meet, I tell them I'll back up. I've done over a quarter mile just watching the backup camera.

Yeah, but it was not good phrasing on my part. Kinda a funny phrase though.

Oh, hell, that was an awkward phrase on my part! My wife has a good friend. The friend's husband had a gas field job. 8^)

I do try - The maintenance person gets treated the same as the general or admiral.

It actually works pretty well. I'm one of those guys who takes people to dinner to see how they treat the waitstaff. I'm not perfect, I have to work harder to be nice to the ostentatious - If I see a Rolex, I'm not impressed, make a mental note - but still be decent.

Incacerated? Is that some sort of kinky sex or something?

Yeah, and some forms of deafness just won't be cured. The only way so far to cure my tinnitus is to sever my auditory nerves.

I'd love a cure for MPB as well. My hair thinned, then stopped. A real pain in the ass because the wind plays hell with it, but the wife isn't at all wild about the idea of shaving my head. She says I'd look like my neck was blowing bubble gum.

Out of curiosity, do implants help with tinnitus? I have what can best be described as raging tinnitus, along with little hearing above 3 KHz.

My brain goes into interpretation mode, and My wife, who has really acute hearing tells people if I say something that sounds insane or funny they just need to stop and say it a little louder, and don't be afraid to laugh then tell me if I accidentally say something hilarious or a non-sequitur.

But hearing aids only sorta work - after 15 minutes, they are terribly fatiguing.
