  1. Totally convinced it was a joint Nato thing with the US as a key figure. Poland and Norway too (and let's not forget it happened in Danish/Swedish waters). They all have gas to sell and stand to benefit from this the most. Some online ship tracker sleuths found out that US Navy in the area turned off their AIS tracking around that time, which is really suspect. It was done far away from Russian waters and, for a job involving 1000's of kilos of explosives, was done with great care not to disturb the seafloor environment. There's the SwePol power line nearby and old caches of WW2-era chemical weapons all over the place. To pull this off in shallow waters, undetected, is almost unfathomable. Everyone in a position of power, or involved with signals intelligence, probably knows exactly what went down but we'll never get a confirmation. I don't think anyone should be too thrilled about explosions in the Baltic sea right now.
  2. It's a monster hit, what would you do? I'm just surprised Jeffries & co found out about it now, I assure you they've not been "waiting for 30 years"...
  3. The sample is a significant part of the track, especially as it's played in a mostly unaltered form... but I wouldn't consider it stolen right off. There were way worse examples from that era, everybody played by different rules... #xtalgate edit: I wouldn't judge Jeffries' comments out of context as people are being unnecessarily disrespectful to him online. I was personally shocked by how much that original sample made the track - the twinkly keys thing in the background was an ethereal experience when first hearing the track in my teens. 50% writing credits sound more than fair to me.
  4. Had the displeasure of yet another "gourmet" burger joint that doesn't even bother mentioning they smash their burgers. As if it's the new religion to love extremely greasy trashed patties and happily pay north of €20. The burger was named "Pops", presumably for the floppy cucumber resembling old man dick. Earlier example from another place. Just way too greasy which kills any flavor. Dirty fries were great though. Two recently homebrewed quickies. Nothing fancy but way better than the above at a fraction of the price. Prefab chuck patties on low heat on the cast iron, gouda/cheddar, Scorpion Tabasco for a few dabs of heat, raw onion, a lot of black pepper plus hickory bearnaise on one, whatever dressing I found in the fridge at the time on the other.
  5. Disregarding all the progressive anti-royalist stuff, she was an effective diplomat and has likely prevented many wars and conflicts... regardless of how you might feel about colonialism and the Commonwealth.
  6. As far as historically relevant people in our lifetime go, she kind of takes the cake. Respek
  7. I was looking up matrix mixers once and the options aren't abundant out there. This looks really good for solving all kinds of headaches with routing and FX chains. $1300 doesn't strike me as a lot for a thing like that, some pretty basic rack mixers and summers can be more than double that, but with these old big boxes I dunno how the upkeep is going to be... All thru-hole apparently.
  8. AI Rapper FN Meka has been dropped from Capitol Records after just seven days. The world apparently wasn't ready for a white guy using an AI avatar to get away with the N-word... https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/24/entertainment/fn-meka-dropped-capitol-records-cec/index.html
  9. Yes! And Derelic7 & Dr Drumatix - miss Mr Modular, wonder where he's at...
  10. I spent an embarrasingly long time trying to look for what was so funny about the video part...
  11. Has potential. People who don't dig the restrictions of Dall-E, for whatever reason, are going to have a field day.
  12. There was a Radiolab episode that brought up side-channel attacks, meaning that you could glean passwords using hi-tech microphones aimed at the processor or even monitoring the power draw of a computer. Cool and a little creepy. I wouldn't put it past mechanical components like a HDD to have a number of quirky flaws, whether it's crashing from a Janet Jackson song or accidentally broadcasting your bitcoin wallet.
  13. RIP Wolfgang Petersen https://variety.com/2022/film/news/wolfgang-petersen-dead-air-force-one-1235342734/
  14. People who piggyback on famous franchises with fan art to maximize their audience. The original twitter poster does a lot of pokemon & mario shit.
  15. Damn, RIP one of the OG's. I'm pretty sure he wrote perl scripts that automated the long-ass posts at some point.
  16. People have been whining about digital cheating for a long time. Big whoop, these cookie-cutter fan artists are easy for an AI to mimic...
  17. Ketron have released a ton of cool stuff over the years, like the instant Italo Disco machine:
