What's bothersome about Group DIY is that if you speak the truth, and support it with facts and primary-sourced authoritative sources, some people don't want to hear it. They won't even look. Their minds are closed. That's OK - it's their choice - and they scream you are a conspiracy theorist and sp...

BTW you won't be seeing chief shit-stirrer JR here. I deactivated his account. It is he that started many of the contentious threads at GDIY. In 2007 JR wrote: I've been wrestling with the pigs in the mud down in the Prodigy brewery, I don't claim to have the only true sense of what is going on in t...

I had a Ubuntu 16.04 installation that recently had a drive failure and the machine was too old to install a later distro. Although on a slower PC it ran circles around identical hardware running Win 7. In test and measurement I write about a recent IT upgrade and having to uninstall One Drive on Wi...

Was that David Blackmer's son Michael? I seem to recall him working there. I met Michael at Blue Jay Recording in Carlisle and we became friends. I commissioned their SSL. Later on Michael's and "Pinky's" home was the Boston receive site for my pre-internet dial-up broadcast monitoring ser...

After turning Glen down I laid low to keep from being drafted. Good thing I did considering I went into the hospital in late August.

I had been running 4 PC "floortop" units whose motherboards dated back to 2006. I'm obviously somewhat frugal and have upgraded drives, memory and power supplies as well as recapping bulged caps to keep them running as long as possible. They would run Windows 7 well but with Chrome-based b...

I found that both mu USB interfaces, a Focusrite 2i2 and Roland Quad Capture were quieter when I installed the iFi iDefender which basically insert a resistance in the USB DC ground line and provides external power injection. I can hear almost no "helicopter" noise deep in the floor when t...
