Dear #Fediverse #Video people, does there exist such a thing as a #VGA to #Displayport adapter? I have an elderly machine that only has VGA, and my KVM only has Displayport. The usual suppliers of cheap electronic tat are only advertising DP-to-VGA adapters, and I'm not convinced that cheap electronic tat will convert in the direction I need. I definitely don't need high resolution or ridiculous refresh rates - this is VGA, and I'm not an #̶a̶u̶d̶i̶o̶p̶h̶o̶o̶l̶ video gamer.

This is either "AI" #slop or someone who really, really doesn't understand electricity and audio signals. It's talking about a standard 3.5mm headphone/mic jack on consumer audio devices, and says this when talking about straight vs. right-angle plugs:

> Straight connectors provide a direct connection between the audio source
> and the output device, minimizing signal loss and interference. This results
> in a cleaner and more accurate representation of the audio, allowing you to
> fully appreciate the nuances of the sound.
>
> In contrast, right-angle connectors can sometimes cause signal degradation
> due to the sharp angle at which the connector is bent. This can lead to audio
> distortion or loss, impacting the overall quality of the sound output.

If this gentleman has discovered a population of electrons that can tell when they've made a 90-degree turn inside a conductor, I think a #Nobel physics prize is in store for him.

There's a reason we call them audiophools 😜

#audiophool DAC recap complete. Running some quick tests to make sure it works (and out of curiosity). As it typical, it offers a range of different digital interpolation filters. The one called "optimal spectrum" was selected. It's unclear to me what about it is supposed to be optimal.
What is it with #audiophool‍s and their capacitor fetish?
This is why we laugh at #audiophool‍s.

"The module designs apply diversity using separation and segregation to ensure that first, they do not introduce a single point of failure, which could potentially damage your system. Secondly, to mitigate the potential for feedback into your system. Feedback has a detrimental effect on both your system and the process to remove the un-wanted energy by presenting resistance. In the extreme it could stop the process all together by cancelling the flow."

«We didn't think it could be any better, but our New "Ultimate" is world-class and then some! We are now using a push-pull I Core design instead of the single core, and we have upgraded our Black Out powder mixture for a broader noise absorption parameter.»

It's a FUSE. A $225 fuse.
