no one here knew any "hifi nuts" back in the 50s? wow.
our family had a friend who was obsessed with woofers and tweeters and stuff constantly. he had wires and speakers all ovetr thr room. it was 1957.
obsessions occure when opportunities are made available. i think the forumula looks like this:
interest + spare money + spare time + opportunity/availablity = OBSESSION
took my 12 year old nephew to a rc car race trak once with his $50 rc car. what a joke. the track was lined with 50 year old MEN who had invested $thousands of dollars in highkly specialyzed part, bnatteties, test gear, tools, premium car parts and the like. Guys makingh 6-figires income with oodles of money to waste on toys. that's when I understood obsession in hobbies!! LOL

I never found music and movies to be social activities. Neither is reading. Little lady and me watch baseball, and do lots of jabbering and joking about the game. But a movie? Not to much.

js offered the best platform possible for highly reactionary figures. while nominally poking fun of them, he gave them massive airtime and access to his prized audience of mostly young people. that's how subversion works. never the obvious!! highly rich dudes prize reactionary figures for the most obvious reasons. $30M a year guy doesn't make enemies with them in power!!! LOL but he m,anaged to pull big wool over many eyes for many years! LOL
one of the most clever illusionists ever. he disarmed most analysts with dumb humor.

I have 8.1 with Classic Shell. I have update turned off completely. But yesterday I began getting big screens asking me to update to Ten. I think it explains why my system was so dogfish for two days.
I have no need of a new OS, but I sense my resistance is futile. I want to be able to use Light room for at least a couple more years, so I may have to give in. I hate being manipulated.

By all accounts it was a real circus. A barn burner.

The masses have decided that the value of privacy was just a myth... In fact we don't care. It required modern technology to flush that truth out. Amazon is now successfully selling a listening device that you place in the room and it is ON 24/7 and will take orders or answer questions without having to speak directly into it. Ha ha.
I tried the Amazon Echo for 1 week, it is now back at Amazon "full refund" I used it only when I was home and awake. Otherwise it was unplugged. Thought it was cool at first than relized it is still in it's infancy. This whole thing is a race to see who gets the bragging rights to the best Digital Assistant the major players right now are Siri, Alexa, Cortana and Google Now. Facebook is looking into this venture as well.
I
just got back from a demonsxtration of "HOUND" - and it far more advanced than Siri, Cortana, OK Google. Not release to public yet, but watch out, it is a killer.

i dont think people are apathetic about privacy. they just decided they didn't need it as much as they thought during the dystopian era of 1984, brave new world, and such. they are leveraging and selling their priovacy and so far, they like the deal. they discovered there is no viscious tyrant at the back end,. only advertising agencies begging for eyeballs. kinda stupid acyually.

This is free??
paste from MS:
“We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to,” Microsoft wrote in its terms of service.
Microsoft has compiled a huge 45 page document detailing its privacy policy in intense detail.
LOL - -well, maybe priceless is more like it? LOL!!

Free? LOL, i guess they don't charge MONEY for it, but Iam sure it ain't free. well, im pretty sure.
MS is in the business of selling licenses. their stock is in the tank compared to many other tech companies. the PC is dying off. mobile devices are the big growth. MS is a very insignificant player in mobile, and recently had to write off the entire NOKIA cell phone business they just paid about $8B for a couple years ago. they have all the appearance of following IBM down the sink hole of irrelevance. now....how could they recover some relevance? Getting W10 on all the remaining PCs? and then? I dunno. I'm not a conspiracist, but I do watch the money markets.

As I understand the idea of snake oil, it's lots of promise and just benign ingredients. If so, the greatest snake oils I can think of are Microsoft windows. "Step right up! Now the icons are rounded and shaded instead of flat and monochrome!"
Fascinating thread. Idint know so many people still relied on tube sets!!! Lol!! Where do you buy such stuff??
