"Cat ear headphone people" is way funnier to me then it should be

Well, it'll be a first for me, but something tells me I won't be disappointed~

It amazes me how people will go out of their way to defend "gen" AI and LLMs, especially on a decentralized platform that aims to divert power away from the wealthy and their proprietary platforms. Does the boot taste that good?

Okay, I see. Thanks for the heads up. Are there any specific scalers I should consider for minimizing latency that you're aware of?

Ahhh thank you for the clarification. I tried to play the recording back and yeah, it was a mess. No colour and blurry as hell. It was a fascinating experiment if nothing else.

Doesn't Matrix also have ties to AI/cryptobro bullshit too?

Right, thank you I'll try to keep this in mind. What do you mean by the TV supporting it though? Like I said, CRTs have no pixels to the best of my understanding, so how would it be aware of the resolution in order to reject it? I can understand it causing problems, but how exactly can a CRT outright reject a signal like that?

I know, though it is a bit worrying that it was there in the first place

There aren't better ways, not in their current forms.

Thankfully, Mint allows me to output in 4:3 aspect ratio. Now, if the actual resolution will still be an issue, then yeah, I suppose I'll need that. But if I send a converter a ~720p 4:3 signal and it outputs it to composite, what does it matter to the CRT that doesn't have pixels anyway?

Ohhh as soon as you started talking about frequencies I realized the issue. I never even thought about how high video frequencies are. That should have been my first thought. Now, that said, I'll still give this a go. My interface does have a stupid high sample rate it can use, and if i use a DAW like Ardour and set it to ALSA mode, it should talk directly to the interface with no PulseAudio or PipeWire in the middle to limit that rate. I'll try it tomorrow!

Edit: re-read your comment and remembered that my interface goes up to 196khz or something! This MIGHT work!

Sadly it does not take VGA but I do have an old laptop with native VGA out so I could convert that to composite easier. VGA is already an analog format, right?
