Believe it or not this piece was rescued from being scrapped by my father, who had unique interest in both horology and was a professional electronics engineer. This clock was expertly restored on our family dining table at home - including the build of a new solid state power supply for it. I think the museum still powers up this clock for display, and you can watch the large neon decade dividers doing their thing.
EDIT: appears to have been removed from display according to the linked archive page.
and that's fine in some sense if you're honest about what you're doing.
I have at least one guitar that I rarely play but I keep because I consider it a work of art and a collectible. But, I have others which are workhorses and I play daily.
It gets awkward when collecting is presented as a way to be a better musician, which is clearly false.
The only time I had this other than changing to SSD was when I got my first multi-core system, a Q6600 (confusingly labeled a Core 2 Quad). Had a great time with that machine.
Gemini and it's tooling is absolute shit. The LLM itself is barely usable and needs so much supervision you might as well do the work yourself. Then couple that with an awful cli and vscode interface and you'll find that it's just a complete waste of time.
Compared to the anthropic offering is night and day. Claude gets on with the job and makes me way more productive.
Currently inside is an i7-9600 which I limit to 3.6ghz and a cheap 1050ti.
The CPU is technically over the TDP limit of the case but with the frequency limit in place I never exceed about 70degC and due to my workloads I'm rarely maxing the CPU anyway.
There is zero noise under any load. There is no moving parts inside the case at all, no spinning HDD, no PSU fan, no CPU fan, no GPU fan.
And now for a feature request: LFO control the mix.
I'm starting to find that my mix is noticeably repetitive after a few minutes. I would like the app to automatically bring in and out other selected sounds over a period of time to reduce the repetition.
However, I know this flies in the face of simplicity, I don't know how you'd go about adding that in a way that's easy to use? Perhaps you add some "timers" and link them to sounds, such that each "timer" fades in/out over some preset periods (1/5/10/15 minutes ?)
