Yeah, those kinda puzzled me as well. They didn’t look like they’re varnished, but I suspect I could be wrong about that. After all, they do work, lol 😂.
It’s for bias to the mic. Condenser mics need it to apply bias to one of the leads of the mic so it can amplify the sound before sending it to the input of the card. Some mics don’t require that (self-biased) so in that case, the R pin (middle ring) goes to GND.
Regardless, if it doesn’t require the bias pin, the mic is self-biased or biased through another source (use the same wire for the signal to get bias, this is easy, you just use a cap to decouple the signal from the bias).
If the board refused to do either, the Microsoft executives would move to Plan B: using their company’s considerable leverage—including the billions of dollars it had pledged to OpenAI but had not yet handed over—to help get Altman reappointed as C.E.O., and to reconfigure OpenAI’s governance by replacing board members. Someone close to this conversation told me, “From our perspective, things had been working great, and OpenAI’s board had done something erratic, so we thought, ‘Let’s put some adults in charge and get back to what we had.’ ”
And you’re about to trust copilot with your info after them openly saying “we can do whatever the fuck we want” 😂?
I was a forums guy back then. We did pick on each other, make stupid jokes on each other’s expenses, but it wasn’t taken to heart… like contruction workers roasting each other all day, that was mostly it 😂.
I (mostly) use Linux too, but I have Windows 10 LTSC 2019 on dual boot. I need it for work 🤷… not all the time, I’ve replaced most of the things I need, but for some things there is no replacing them (things tied to hardware).
Yeah, you can pirate it 😂. Heck, I’ve never bought a single license in my life 😂.
Seeiously though, I don’t think they seel it to individuals, only companies. I think you can buy a regular Enterprise license as an individual, but not an LTSC one.
That to be said, my partner still uses that Windows version and it is definitely the right thing to use, if needing Windows.
It’s the only thing I recommend using IF you just had to use Windows and there was no other way around the issue. In any other scenario, I recommend Linux with Wine.
Nah, I’m a late adopter 😂. Actually, a friend of mine got me into it, he installed Gentoo (his first distro if you can believe that 😂), but that was too scary for me at the time (2004, 2005 I think 🤔) so I used Mandrake for a while. Then switched back to Win7 and used that for a while and then got back to Linux and now I dual boot with LTSC 2019 (mainly for stuff that are too hard to transfer to Linux, like software that is dependant on hardware to work properly and meant only to be run on Windows).
Yeah, I know about the OEM keys, they’re basically resells, all of them 😂, including the LTSC ones… but why bother when you got KMS38 😂.
