The link doesn’t seem to work.

Is that the Duomo?

I’m learning Italian, just passed A2, and am probably gonna continue with B1 if the course schedule is right.

At the moment, I am having a vacation in Italy, and I realized that there’s no more effective way than having use cases that you can relate on a personal level.

Sounds about right. It’s supposed to be some kind of USB button input. But it seems only the audio device part is working.

I tried to detect button input, but it doesn’t seem to go thru in any way. I’m currently using Linux Mint on that (LMDE 7 to be exact). Haven’t tried using other setup.

It doesn’t bother me that much tho. The laptop itself has some standalone volume buttons, so that helps.

My dad gave me a nice audio set including a pair of speakers, a Rotel power amp, and a Rotel amp that I use as a pre-amp.

This thing sounds wonderful. The problem was, I only got a Thinkpad to drive it. Now, Thinkpads may have shitty speakers, but they are by no means bad audio device. That HD audio still does the job well enough for most case.

But this is not most case. For my case, I wanted something more, without shedding the convenience of internet. Sadly, a desktop PC is not an option, due to some constraints.

So I got myself a USB soundblaster. This thing sounds phenomenal! And I only had to plug it in. My only complaint is that the volume knob does not work.

It surely would if it fits you. Otherwise, there are other fields with stable prospect as well.

Of course, you can choose an engineering field and then pivot to something else that you’d find to be better fit. I’ve known a lot of people who do well that way.

But yeah, if it turns out to be a good fit for you, that’s great.

Not exactly in engineering, but studied computer science and currently am working in IT industry.

I can at least speak for my study: It can be difficult, but it won’t feel as much if you’re actually into it. People’s brain are built different from one another, so in the end it’s case by case and won’t apply to all.

What makes you consider engineering? I don’t mean to sound too discouraging, but if it’s easy money you’re looking for, you won’t find it here.

I feel like Indonesian is what Esperanto could’ve been.

I guess not.

Most default setup would have plymouth. I did spent a moment of frustration on it. That’s why I include this part.

If you don’t think you need it, then just do the first part. If stuff goes wrong, check out my note, then do the second part.

So many old computers & calculators here.

I have an Apple IIe, but at the moment it’s at my friend’s place. What I have with me are a bunch of Thinkpads: a barely working X60, a fine X200 with busted battery, and a combination of 20 and 30 series ones I am currently using.

May I insert some additions of analog here?

I got a Rotel RA-04 audio amp from 2006 from my dad that I am currently using, and I’m sure there are older stuff where it’s from.

Aside from that, a Yaesu FT-60 FM transceiver made in 2004 still running strong.

That’s a ham indeed…

What do you usually find on that weekly net?

Good bot.

And with the land they just discovered, they’d expand their settlements.

I guess the whole genocide thing is unintended, huh?

“Whooops, we accidentally wiped out the whole population of this land. Whadya know, nobody lives here now. Somebody should definitely claim it!”

I have to ask: why so many European country specific feddit instances?

Straight to jail! Right away!

You should be thankful it’s cooked.

If it’s undercooked? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

Aren’t we all here the family tech guy?

Dude, I saw this thing right by my door as I was getting out my house. My wife freaked out.

We live in the city center.
