This happens easily for big successful organisations. Over decades a strong culture aligned with how they succeed forms. Once the market changes requiring a culture change, a seemingly invincible company suddenly stumbles. They simply can’t respond even if they what they should change.
Ex. Rolls Royce CEO stated this phenomenon well: culture eats strategy for breakfast.
The story of Nokia the company is long and meandering. Its roots go back to late 1860’s in the town of Nokia in Southern Finland, near the city of Tampere, from where they’ve gone through all sorts of businesses, including rubber boots and industrial capacitors to name just two. You might even find an old Nokia TV knocking about. The mobile handsets phase was in some sense but a blip in the story, although a spectacular one. I’m sure they’ll keep going in one way or another for a fair while still.
Here are Myles and Ronnie.
I have seen that pose before!
“Torvalds sold out.” Would you mind elaborating what you mean by selling out in this context?
The number of arsehole men is too damn high. Whenever I see or hear these stories my blood boils.
Look, we are all getting older and wiser. Wait…
Master Handbook of Acoustics is your friend if you want to learn what to do to your room. Overkill for most, admittedly, but it contains everything you need to know.
Never ever let facts get in the way of a good story!
Neighbouring town has a street called Pig Lane. Where the police station is. Perfection.

I made couple of bass tramps tuned to the room’s main resonant frequencies, which I measured. I followed instructions from the book.
I added sound absorber panels to the walls and ceiling to kill immediate reflections from the main speakers plus a sprinkling of additional panels to kill reflections and also act as decoration. I also needed to move one radiator because it was in the worst possible location for my setup.
The room got thick curtains to improve absorption, and they also darken the room as it is dual use music listening and home cinema room. A few defraction elements went into the ceiling for a good measure. The ceiling is made of custom panels that I made myself from wood and fabric to allow sound energy through to the various acoustic elements behind them.
I also spent a fair amount of time with subwoofer placement, but in the end it became a bit of a compromise between sound and placement of furniture. Nothing a bit of signal processing can’t deal with, mind.
There are a lot of people like me who are deeply envious of people who somehow just drifted away from alcohol.
I think there is another aspect that is important: limit the blast radius. Shit inevitably happens when you create something new and complex, and when it does, you’d rather minimise the impact where possible.
Yes.
All important automations should run fully locally. I also find that focused and simple automations are often most useful. When I say simple I mean in terms of automation logic, not necessarily in terms of interfacing devices, which can be tricky at times. Example of simple automations I like most would be switching amplifiers on/off based on audio state changes, switching lights on/off relative to sunset, and switching electric water and floor heating elements on/off depending on energy price.
While I feel a bit nostalgic to leave Reddit behind, I recently realised it had become stale for me. Time to move on.
Shitware, I’d think.
You love what you love. If others don’t, that’s cool. I quite like some songs by Nickelback, but they aren’t quite my favourite. I find myself listening to Creed from time to time and I think they are great.
As for AB, the best band ever as far as I’m concerned. There is not a single AB album I haven’t played again and again. I’ve seen them live ten times or so, and will go see them every time I get the opportunity. And Myles could sing the phonebook and I’d still love it.
Trump playing ‘the wisdom and experience angle’ seems like a great strategy. I wish he goes for it!
Road crew!
I think the bullshit picture aligns well with the product!
I mean a good approach would be to just go through Apollo and … copy with bride! Christian did an amazing job with it.
Latinum. Fix that for you.
And boy do we love beans! Dozens will demolish a lot of that stuff.
It is not the quantity, it is the quality!
My introduction to the internet was way before www. As a first year student I mentioned a topic I was interested in to a professor. He said I should email his friend at University of California, Berkeley as he would know about the topic. He gave the address and I went away to find out what this email thing is. The next morning I had a reply. For a farm boy for whom snail mail and telephone were the means of interaction beyond the neighbours this was totally mind blowing. I got advice from a professor in one of the top universities in the world just by emailing him!
spetzel: in complete knots yet somehow still soggy and limp with no substance
Good to see you here @PoppinKREAM@sh.itjust.works !
