patchtopic··on Why has the hearing aid industry gone completely digital?
I don't know about the technical tradeoffs in hearing aids, but the other stuff in this article is breathtakingly ignorant.
patchtopic··on Luxembourg to be first European country to legalise cannabis
What about Portugal, or is that decriminalisation?
patchtopic··on Notqmail: Collaborative open-source successor to qmail
This would be great if some of the excellent components that work with qmail to make a nice email appliance also got updated. qmail with vpopmail and qmailadmin used to make a great email appliance, but previously the overhead of maintaining it made it un-usable long term so I ditched it for postfix+dovecote+postfixadmin

but there was a lot to like about qmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin

patchtopic··on Australia's tech industry savages Labor for backing bill
I am disgusted by these clowns and as an Australian embarrassed that somehow these people ended up in power and representing us.

also: https://twitter.com/beneltham/status/1070276535007948800 i.e. it appears one the new powers cant be used by anti-corruption agencies.. funny that..

patchtopic··on Do I really need to get out the soldering-iron again?
I think the author of the article just wanted to get out the soldering iron.. as otherwise a few minutes on a search engine would have revealed the existence of the CMOY headphone buffers and a plethora of similar devices for laptops and phones already out there, including ones with their own high quality DACs.. unless there is something I'm missing here?
