But would you have refused to buy that guitar if it looked a little more different than a Fender Stratocaster? You clearly aren't bothered by it having a different headstock shape, Suhr could and probably will just…
I've been playing long enough that I disagree. Fender's quality is very good now compared to when I started playing. But so is everyone else's.
This is completely true, and there's a good reason. Almost everything anyone has tried to do to modernize electric guitars in a non-compatible way has had big downsides. Almost any guitar with a pre-amp or whatever…
This is incredibly hard to believe, Fender is many times bigger than PRS. Fender sells at least 10x more guitars than PRS.
I play guitar, I own a Fender guitar and a Fender amp, along with another non-fender amp and 2 other non Fender guitars. I'm just super sick of hearing about this story. Guitar players online are way too worked up about…
Is this thing the basis of what Apple is doing in the Photos app in the most recent OS revisions? It seems to work a lot quicker than 30s now on iDevices and Macs.
All of it is good but none of it is a shortcut. The greats who became so good doing this had massive amounts of time to do it and put in massive amounts of effort.
I guess I'm showing my age but having read stuff like Michel Abrash's books years ago this article was a bit underwhelming. Like no one who wrote any code back in the 80s or 90s even for a homebrew game was skipping…
You might be able to argue he was a bigger star than any of them. His career lasted far longer. He had big movie appearances for 30 years, none of those people accomplished that. Norris' first movie role was in 1968,…
The only problem with Chromebooks and the whole Google educational toolchain is it ruins school! My kid is on it, every kid hates it and every teacher hates it. You just can't argue with the pricing. I'm amazed at how…
This won't actually work. A Fuzz Face works the way it does because it actually gets affected by the guitar's impedance changing as you work the knobs on the guitar and pick differently. The Fuzz Face has minimal input…
There are certainly guitarists who can play simultaneous melodies. If you're limiting to a 6 string guitar the distance between the two melodies would be limited compared to a piano but guitars don't have to be limited…
The whole thing about people being defensive is interesting. I love techno, but anyone who has learned other styles of music recognizes the repetitiveness and quirks of a lot of techno and some other electronic genres.…
LOL. Las Vegas water prices are ridiculously low for the paltry amount of water they have. It's hard to get people to not waste the water when the price is artificially kept low. Las Vegas water is less expensive than…
Reactions to your statement seem to hinge on whether or not the person replying has a CS degree from a math focused program! It makes perfect sense to me.
I still have an expensive Canon dedicated slide/film scanner from 20 years ago. IIRC at some point their value started going up as they became rare. Mine did something like 50MP scans of 35mm film/slides. The quality…
Another reason that this matters (which is artificial) is that at least in the US so many car owners are on "permanent car payments". They never pay off their cars and trade them in on another one and just keep making…
This actually sounds a lot like the US problems with energy (electrical, gas) infrastructure and also things like telephone and internet providers. They've almost always got a state approved monopoly or duopoly and then…
The Fahrenheit scale is European, not American. It was created in Poland well before the United States broke off from Great Britain. We're just slow to change.
People will grumble switching from Slack to Teams but it won't actually mess up the business. Our business unit within a large public company was using it and we were spun off, Slack was going to be $1M/yr and the…
I don't re-read that much "fun" material. But I totally get it, some stuff is so good it will seem like a better option to re-read it compared to trying something new. That is an elite level of book though. I just…
This says it. Actual "tech" circles were historically not super into the Mac. Of course there were some people who loved it, but the bulk of the classic Mac fanbase was design type people and people who were mostly…
The writer seems to be one of the older crowd that made being a Mac user a huge part of their identity in the 80s and 90s. In the 80s that was tied in with the Mac being a pretty superior computer only accessible to the…
It's the left wing gaslighting everyone over all the issues caused by making it harder and harder to build anything. You blame landlords and PE when in actuality the government has stopped construction in it's tracks.…
I worked at Cisco 1999-2001, it was my first job out of school. I worked in a group that did network management software, so we weren't touching iOS. But it was kind of wild at that point there were still company…
