I'm pretty new to all this, I just got a smart light and hub, etc. With the idea of using voice commands on my iphone/ipad.

But I was really disappointed to find out that I can't voice activate the command "living room light on", because as soon as Siri hears this, it responds "oh you havent setup a homekit device".

ExpressVPN is the only one I've got working with iplayer, thus far. There used to be 'tvcatchup', but that got nerfed then killed. I haven't found anything else since.

The internet, as experienced by most humans today, primarily consists of ads, sponsored content, propaganda and spin. I don't really see how it's contributing to our development in a constructive manner.

Might have been more apt if they'd written "recognised", instead.

He was more like that Bond parody with Rowan Atkinson. Bumbling and fumbling while bragging and shagging.

Britain is not holding up its end here, producing the mega-shagger we need to save us all.

back before internet days, me and the boys got the fear while out smoking, seeing this in the night sky.

Try posting non-US news to !news and see what happens.

Well that's some high grade bullshit. "The World’s Internet Frontpage".

It'll go unnoticed, but I think it's appropriate to remind Americans that theyre co-opting terms like "news" to mean "American news".

 

Hey everyone, I'm a bit out of the loop with these pedals, and I'm trying to understand the ways people are using them.

I understand what they do, I'm just wondering why someone would use a pedal instead of just setting on an amp that has the gain or tone shaping characteristics that they're looking for.

In particular, because the pedal then (presumably) gets plugged into the amps preamp section anyway, which is going to colour the sound again. So then, would the optimum use be to plug into a really transparent, clean amp?

To be clear, I'm talking about pedals like the UA Ruby, Zvex box of rock, Benson Preamp. Not so much about Helix, ToneX, etc. I know the latter are more like an all-in-one recording solution, so you can DI and still get great sounds at home, but the former? I'm not so sure what they're best used for!
