0:00 hi so this is a project I'm working on
0:02 it's uh well you can see uh LPC to ISA
0:05 adapter basically it allows you to
0:07 connect old Isa cards like this sound
0:09 blaster 16 here up to Modern
0:11 motherboards this is a socket 1155
0:13 motherboard with a Intel 6 series
0:15 chipset and the ISA adapter is connected
0:18 up to it through its TPM Port which is
0:20 normally used for an encryption key it's
0:23 got a Sandy Bridge Core i5 in it so you
0:25 know it's still a little bit older but
0:27 it's certainly got no business having an
0:28 Isa slot connected to it but yeah if I
0:31 just uh do the old standard Doom test
0:35 we have audio
0:37 as you can hear that's full audio music
0:40 and sound effect so uh yeah seems to be
0:42 working I'm going to be open sourcing
0:44 this board as well as making a longer
0:45 video explaining how it all works so get
0:47 subscribed to my channel if you don't
0:48 want to miss that
I prefer text to video or audio. Text is a more 2-dimensional format – my eyes scan up and down the page looking for keywords. I read it non-linearly, reading the more interesting-looking sentences first (even multiple times), leaving the less interesting ones until the end. Text lets me follow my own attention, audio/video force me into a linear straight-jacket – I know I can rewind/fast-forward/etc, but that's still a lot more slow and painful than just darting my eyes around a page. A picture can say a lot that words can't, but that's why (hyper)text can have pictures, figures, diagrams, photos, tables, etc, embedded in it. Even embedded video clips and audio files, for those times when an audiovisual component is really adding something.
I've largely hated the slow transition of information from barebones html scrawlings to the modern video presentation format. One thing I've discovered is installing an HTML5 video speed controller extension that lets me run most videos at 2.5-3.0x speed. It really seems to help. I think part of the problem is that most videos are tuned well below the rate I like to scan in information.
I agree and also watch most videos much faster than 1x; it seems lowest-common-denominator-oriented "educational" videos require the most speedup, while with denser stuff, and some entertainment, I can only get up to 1.5-1.8x. An (un?)fortunate side-effect is that talking to most people in realtime becomes annoyingly slow; and likewise, others tell me that I'm talking too fast.
Oh man, thank you. The few that I click seem to be on an interesting topic. Yet they're always frenetically edited together and either don't explain anything (cooking shorts, for instance. Much worse than old school GifRecipes) or are just a teaser to get you to subscribe for the full video a couple weeks/months later.
I wish I could just wholesale disable the feature in my app, as it wastes scrolling space.
I agree and while you probably know this, it's actually only URL formatting, you can take the short URL and make it a long format youtube URL with the video ID and regain pausing etc
