chenGOD Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Fired up the 2.1 system for the laptop at home, (Altec Lansing VS4121), worked fine the first day. Second day, right speaker isn't working. The headphone jack on the right speaker is working though. So I'm guessing that the problem in the chain is between the speakers in the cabinet and the spot where the audio cable routes the signal to either the headphones or the speakers. Any thoughts from people on here about how easy this would be to fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising for burgers Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) so i bought this metal drums library (15GBs) to use with NI kontakt for 80 USD to keep myself entertained practicing tech/math metal drums... turns out you can only download it trough NI Native Access app that only works on a PC... problem is that i'm using my cellphone mobile data (sometimes around 2 MB/s when close to coast) to make downloads because my ship's wifi speed is around 45 kB/s, which would take me around 1000 hours to download... i've contacted customer support to see if they could host it somewhere else but they say it's not possible... oh and i could eventually share a mobile hotspot with my laptop but apparently there's a limit and i've used it already... honestly didn't know about this, like, i have unlimited mobile data on my cellphone but when sharing an hotspot there's restrictions, how that fuck does that work? fuck this shit...

The idea is that the guards are in a central tower with something obscuring the prisoners from seeing them. Like one-way mirrors, for instance.

You need the serial to download it and the serial is linked with my mail which is linked to my NI account so i don't think it's possible... Totally anti-piracy... But honestly thanks a lot!

Like one-way mirrors, for instance. Yeah i thought about that but didn't saw it mentioned anywhere, the preface of the explanation is quite misleading... Quote The concept of the design is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single security guard, without the inmates being able to tell whether they are being watched. Although it is physically impossible for the single guard to observe all the inmates' cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means that they are motivated to act as though they are being watched at all times. Thus, the inmates are effectively compelled to regulate their own behaviour. The architecture consists of a rotunda with an inspection house at its centre. From the centre the manager or staff of the institution are able to watch the inmates. Edited April 2, 2020 by Tim_J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have those in late 1700's when Bentham came up with the concept. *but I think wearing those cool 80's shades with the lines across the lenses is an important addition for the gaurds.
