tape to tape recording (aka dubbing) was a thing. It would be done in real time unless your deck had high speed dubbing, but that often resulted in a slightly poorer quality.

You could also record direct to tape from radio, LP, or CDs, so not sure why the microphone and background noise thing is an issue. Even before dual decks you could have separates where you could plug the output from one unit into the input of another.

Duplicating tapes from sources was a thing in the 80s for sure.

Trackers can show which users are active in a torrent at a given time. They may indicate whether a user has a complete copy of a file or is still downloading it. If investigators followed newly posted torrents over a long period, they may have been able to identify an IP address that repeatedly appeared as the first source with a complete copy.

That's some dedication

And Accenture itself reportedly started requiring senior staff to start using AI or risk losing out on promotions.

Every time companies urge employees to use AI and then regret the cost. The fuck is wrong with people? Why are they pushing it so hard? Does Sam give them hand jobs if they use the most?

I don't understand this need to pressure staff into using something and threatening punishment if not. Are they worried that their employees are not efficient enough? Pay them the token prices on top of their salary and see how stuff changes.

Zuckerberg offered employees access to permanent desks, a symbolic gesture that unintentionally illustrated how expendable many of them had become.

IQ and wealth seem to be inversely proportional to each other.

Apologies if this isn't an appropriate post. I am in the UK and have recently moved and am lost on finding a supply now my usual plug is too far. I am in my late 40s which makes it harder to find like minded people (IMHO). Maybe I'm over thinking it

How would one go about finding a plug iny situation? Any advice appreciated.

I am looking for some advice on how to (if possible) setup a wireguard network for my home network and when I am connected to that network have a remote wireguard server act as an exit node, so that all external traffic appears to be coming from that remote server whilst keeping traffic bound for the home network local (only accessible via wireguard network)

Local server is a Debian box and other devices will run a flavour of linux. Remote server is already running wireguard and I can connect to that if I bring up a route on each device, but ideally I want to connect to my home net and automatically have outbound traffic go via the remote server. The remote server's wireguard config is not under my control, which may make this unfeasible

I use IronFox and have no qualms. Vandium on graphene is also popular. Buy apart from that I can't offer up much more
