How about instead of all this extraneous bullshit Youtube implements the one feature I've been craving since day one: AN OPTION TO DISABLE FUCKING AUTO-PLAY.
It's so obvious that it's ridiculous that it's taken this long.
... and yes, I already have the Firefox plugins. But I'd prefer a built-in solution. #gizmodoremainders
The USB FM radio could be useful sometimes when you want to listen to a channel the doesn't or won't broadcast.
For example.. A local station where I live cuts off it's online broadcast when it runs live KU football & basketball games (which is the only time I would want to listen). They cut the online broadcast because KU wants anyone listening online to be paying for the broadcast through another service they have.
Also you could use it for easy rebroadcasting of a station online... Take what you pick up over the air and broadcast it online. There might be some legal problems there. But it would be a super low budget and easy way for a small station to get their broadcast online. #gizmodoremainders
I'd like to plug one of these up to an old styled phonograph-like setup, instead of plugging it into a PC.
Probably would get a much more 'organic' and ethereal sound, instead of the digitally processed sound of running it through modern equipment like the guy is doing in the video.
I can imagine under those conditions, it probably would sound spooky - especially hearing the 'voices' in the white noise.
Set that up in a dark room with good acoustics (like that one bathroom stall we have at work that acts like a resonance chamber at the right frequencies), and I bet you could scare the shit out of any unsuspecting passersby.
It's already the 26th, so I may not get to do that this All Hallows' Eve . . . but next year, I'm keeping this little idea on tap and going to work on ways of perfecting it for maximum creepiness for the big day next year. I shall do the Great Pumpkin proud. #spiritradio
You're listening to KTLU, your home for madness and music. Coming up, we have Azathoth and the Deep Ones with their newest single, "Eldritch".
And just to remind you, if you're hearing this broadcast, you're probably insane. So don't touch that dial. Because if you do, we'll eat your lungs. #spiritradio
So the resulting sound of this device plugged into the sound-in port on his computer freaked out Tesla? I wonder what OS Tesla used. I think he's a Apple person. #spiritradio
As a San Diego native that last post was interesting.
The ironic thing about such "nice" weather all the time is that we start to crave "shitty" weather. I just want it to rain so badly sometimes. Sunshine can get so boring sometimes. #gizmodoremainders
@Mad as a Hatter: I think if you move here from somewhere with actual seasons, you'll welcome the steady weather. But when you've lived here 98% of you're ready for something different. #gizmodoremainders
@Mad as a Hatter: Ah, I hear you. I lived in the Inland Empire for a few years during college. While there was slightly more variance in the weather there than here, it was still pretty consistent. Consistently ugly. I'll take SD's consistent beauty any day.
But I did spend some time in Toronto and they had this crazy thing over there. It was called "winter." Never heard of that before. #gizmodoremainders
