This is possible, but via a slightly different mechanism. Using piezoelectric sensors that effectively vibrate to harvest energy.

My brother worked for a large Korean tech company that was evaluating similar technology for consumer grade application (think whole room wireless charging...) Another aspect they were looking into was using low frequency sound waves to emulate the sensation of a physical button so that washer/dryers could have virtual knobs that feel analog.

Likely not something scalable at this point, but in theory it is possible.

I honestly enjoy a tall crisp glass of water with my relatively high end audio setup. I just pulled the trigger on some major upgrades (bigger subs, better amp, better dac). Typically listening to a broad variety (classical to norteño to thrash metal to anything sonically interesting).

Recently it's been tracks that I know really well to evaluate the setup. Not a huge Billie eillish fan but she can push bass in Xanny or Bad guy. Same with Lorde on royals. Deacon blues and Peg. Some Bubbles because all audiophiles really want to listen to is ping pong balls being dropped in the room around you. I want to pinpoint that balls location within 3 inches.

From there I typically relax enough to listen to something I actually want to bump like Angelina Aguilar or Overmono. Maybe some deafhaven.

I do like a good ipa but have been sensitive to hangovers. If anything there's a preference for a good ol left hand ciggie but that was more common when I lived in Seattle.

I would kill for a small electric truck... Telo is calling my name, but they don't have a functioning product yet.

Lol yeah the comment was previously "I like the fact that I get a on mobile" or something that didn't make sense. All good.

All the time. Links either 404 or are made up. If someone's vibin hard, copy/pasting, there's a non-zero chance to link out to something malicious "accidentally"

What flavor of Linux were you trying to install? My experience on endeavoros has been pretty plug and play. I imagine it would be similar on mint, Ubuntu, fedora, Debian. If it was Linux from scratch, yeah that's likely going to be frustrating.

Earlier this year when I made the switch as I was getting blue screens at least once a day while gaming. Initially to endeavoros with cinnamon, then switched to Hyprland.

There have been some fixes that make me wonder at what point am I tinkering vs implementing a fix that should be included in the base version of the Linux flavor... Many rabbit holes over the last 6 months, many more to come.

 

Consistently get an error message that I can't dismiss saying "no messages returned"
