I have a five gallon bucket that is 3/4 full of just various types of USB cables.

I can imagine a Doctor Who episode that starts with banana phobia, and later the Doctor discovers there are aliens posing as bananas in Sweden. Some young children can see through their disguise. And that’s why the minister has had a phobia since childhood.

I don’t think the “small dick” part needs to be thrown in. Seems counter productive.

I hope it pans out!

The last time I heard about someone being excited about new mechanics/paradigms in gaming it was Ken Levine. And then he disappeared for a decade. “narrative Legos” were the big idea.

He’s back, with Judas. We’ll see if he managed to invent new mechanics or not.

In the case of Judas tho, I’ll just be happy if it’s a good story and spectacle driven game like Bioshock Infinite.

Preview is an app on macOS for viewing and editing images and PDFs.

According to the Audacity manual it supports MP3. But you need to install additional software for AAC (M4A).

https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/importing_audio.html

So it’s strange that you are struggling with this. It seems something more is going on here…

Also, just in case it was confusing: M4A is just a file extension used to indicate AAC audio in an MP4 container.

That’s a bummer that AudioTimeliner is struggling with MP3 files. Small independent apps like this usually depend on outside libraries to play back audio. And looking at the version history, it looks like the author has had to make multiple updates to fix playback support over the years.

I see that AudioTimeliner is niche software that has been around for about 22 years, and it’s cross platform. It seems normal to me that it would be picky. Audacity on the other hand, something weird is going on.

I work in higher education, so I understand how relying on niche software like AudioTimeliner goes. I’m sympathetic.

But there is a lack of precision in what you are describing, and your symptoms are directly counter to the Audacity documentation.

The newly released Final Cut 11 coming with transcription now makes sense. Must be optimal on the newest machines.

Some systems define a slug as the part of a URL that identifies a page in human-readable keywords. It is usually the end part of the URL (specifically of the path / pathinfo part), which can be interpreted as the name of the resource, similar to the basename in a filename or the title of a page. The name is based on the use of the word slug in the news media to indicate a short name given to an article for internal use.

I’ve heard of everything listed in the article besides the focus of the article.

Both of those sound like recycled mechanics.

Preview does not play MP3 or AAC.

And what’s a program that’s not accepting of MP3 files that generally works with audio?

You seem to be a bit confused.

Depending on hardware and price point, this might end up being an interesting device to modify/jailbreak.

How VR Specs are only vague indicators of what your VR experience will be with a given VR headset.
