I guess I’m easy to please, but, recently I got myself a better bluetooth dongle over the holidays. I had one before, but it was stupid cheap, connection was frail and didn’t have good range. Now I have one with Bluetooth 5.4 and I’m amazed with what I can do with it.
I can funnel sound to any one of my bluetooth speakers so I don’t have it hogging my main speakers when I want something close by me.
Speaking of which, I wish I had really known this far earlier in my days of using a computer. But, being able to split audio in multiple ways. I can assign where sound is going to, program to program. One browser gets these headsets, that browser gets the TV speakers .etc
That kind of shit amazes me and damn shame I never explored this before.
Nothing anymore really. Innovation is all but dead in favor of unnecessary convenience or monetary gains. The few projects that could have a meaningful impact on the betterment of lives are either brushed away due to lack of monetization or brushed away because it could take away some other, worse technology that’s already an established norm.
Still using oil, folks.
Seriously?
For example extreme ultraviolet lithography is currently used to produce GPU‘s to train your dogshit LLM, that we all hate. This technology however is arguably the most insane machines humanity has ever produced, it‘s absolutely insane and fascinating.
