    Winamp's source code to be released publicly on September 24

    While there isn't a true scaling feature (hopefully one will come from it going open source), there is an option to double the size of the main player and equalizer. It looks pretty silly on my 1440p monitor, but it might look OK on a 4K screen. Too bad it doesn't also apply to the playlist and...

    Winamp's source code to be released publicly on September 24

    Winamp's source code is going public. Which is great news for me, as it's still the player I use, and it should only become better from this, and continue to be a usable player on all future Windows OSes. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7CJ6D0KZm_/

    Microsoft Shuts Down Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks and More Bethesda Softworks Studios

    None of those studios were really producing anything great. Some solid IPs in them, but not great quality output. I hope that Microsoft also did a bit of cleaning house of Bethesda's TES development studio, as there are lots of legacy developers in there who are just not near the cutting-edge of...

    Speaker dust-cap, frequency-tuning wisdom?

    I recently bought a pair of NOS woofers for some old monitors, and I bought a pair that had matching appearances. For whatever reason, available stock of these woofers vary a lot in the construction of the rear magnet, the colour of the speaker cone, and the size and material of the dust cap...

    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    I picked-up a Presonus Temblor 10" subwoofer off Craigslist for a really good price, to try out. I'd been increasing the bass on my Kanto sub over time and wanted to see what a 10" can do. But it hasn't impressed me. I find it gives a lot of generic rumbling, sort-of like if you have a gamepad...

    Russia's government investigating creating own game consoles and delivery platform

    Because it concerns a country you don't want to hear something potentially positive about? If I posted that a US company was aiming to create new gaming platforms, or that some Western country was overcoming challenges to successfully grow their tech industry, would you still claim it isn't...

    Russia's government investigating creating own game consoles and delivery platform

    I don't think that's the plan, and that it's more like the government wants to get Russian companies working on infrastructure for those things. If they can produce a Russian game delivery platform, Western and other publishers can then directly choose to list their games on them, rather than be...

    Russia's government investigating creating own game consoles and delivery platform

    Putin's ordered his government to look into creating Russia's own Steam Deck, SteamOS, and basically Steam itself The government instruction Google-translated from http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/73305 I'm curious to see what people think about the actual timeframes it might take...

    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    The Klipsch ProMedia and HiVi-Swans M10 Plus are a couple of 2.1 systems suggested in this thread. There may be others. I didn't try out many 2.1 systems, so I can't really comment. The Edifier s351db 2.1 setup I tried didn't give me the clarity I wanted, and the bass was too soft for my liking...

It began on February 19 in Kazan, Russia, and will run until March 3rd. It is being participated in by over 100 countries, apparently including some Western states, such...

    Oh Samsung, you had one chance to redeem yourself......Tech cuts guy's TV to void warranty and Reddit removes video from the post.

    I've had experiences that make me think I should always have a camera recording when people are working in my house, or being left alone in room with valuables in them. It's prudent to do. Better safe than sorry.

    An issue with my stereo amp emitting a choppy noise - any ideas of its cause?

    I will add, with the 1st amp connected and its wifi disabled with an ethernet cable, the amp, monitors, and sub are sounding great together, and practically inaudible in terms of white noise when no audio is passing through. The amp automatically goes to sleep after it's been idle for maybe 10...

    An issue with my stereo amp emitting a choppy noise - any ideas of its cause?

    I'm currently using the amp with an ethernet cable plugged into it, to stop the wifi noise. If I put my ear right next to the subwoofer, I can still hear some extremely-faint activity sounding in the speaker, but I need to have my head immediately next to the sub to hear it. So, it's not an...

    An issue with my stereo amp emitting a choppy noise - any ideas of its cause?

    The amp is connected to the same power strip as my PC, monitor, subwoofer, and some other stuff. The good news is that connecting it to an active ethernet cable stopped the noise. The bad news is that I have to be running an ethernet cable into the room, from outside of the room, to do that...
