The SNES supported ADPCM, and I don't think it has a wavetable built in. It was up to the game to supply and PCM audio needed. It was definitely one of the better sounding 16 bit consoles though. The PC-Engine with CD-ROM is unmatched, of course, at least for music.

I'm wondering what version of the Doom soundtrack they used. The MIDI files? Some specific sound card's rendition, or all of them? I still have a Roland SC-88, and no 90s sound card ever sounded that good.

There was an issue for a couple of days with MG car connectivity in the UK a month or two ago. Simply going to the menu and turning off connectivity fixed it until the servers came back up. So it seams that there at least the connectivity switch does actually work.

Android Auto kept working, of course.

You're assuming that everyone is one extreme or the other. And not only is this wrong, there aren't only two sides, no matter what the news says.

OTOH, Flock *seems* to be an example of the "benefits of the surveillance state". I.e., we only hear about the generally approved of uses. If you were to believe that those were the only uses, I'd think you a simpleton. And it's impossible for me to make a decision that they're a good thing without knowing what those other uses are.

"Jailbreak" definitely implied something illicit in 1974 when AC/DC performed the song, but in 2026?! No. Jailbreaking is totally legit 99 times out of a hundred.

Jails were once respected because they were a product of society's consensus. When DRM appeared, jails became anyone's restrictions, with no societal inputs and no claims to legitimacy.

If you break out of the county jail or federal prison, that's a whole other thing than breaking out of your neighbor's sex dungeon. And almost all the time we talk about "jailbreaking" now, it's analogous to the neighbor's sex dungeon. Nearly everyone would agree it's legit to leave, and any illicitness is on the part of the captor!

[I]t's important to note that jailbreaking a Kindle might violate Amazon's terms of service.

Isn't the context here, that there is no service? I suspect that whatever terms the two parties came to agree upon, Amazon is the one who has initiated the violation of those terms, by ceasing to provide service!

Slashdot is a website for the elderly.

Launch every Zig!

Much of the problem could be fixed if the police simply learned not to do what the computer tells them, and think it through first.

Wood burning in the UK usually involves a modern appliance and buying pre-cut wood to put in it. It's not as easy as turning the central heating on, but apparently it's easy enough for a lot of people to want to do it.

How big (volume) of an inflated station module could Starship carry?

Neither has Artemis or Starliner. Yet all are making commercial launches. Vulcan Centaur though it has had fully successful launches has those launches suspended due to the failures of the SRBs, New Glenn is suspended due to the failure to achieve a proper orbit on the 3rd flight.

Starship is not yet a production model though hopefully now much closer with Block 3. Those mentioned above ARE supposed to be production models (including Starliner with it's dodgy manned mission).

Given that he censors opinions he doesn't like that would be true.

OP was talking about FLAPS which the booster doesn't have so clearly he was referring to the Starship 2nd stage which DOES have flaps and can on orbital re-entry can reach mach 25 and beyond.

The same applies to Artemis.

Content licences aren't such a big problem. A lot of games now have a "streaming mode" where they don't use licensed music, only stuff that won't get copyright strikes on Twitch and YouTube. A lot of the work has already been done because streaming is a big source of free advertising these days.
