The dark side of wendell is soo much better

The rain is like ASMR embedded into the video. Itā€™s a good counter balance to the depressing pre-recoded news.

iLaughed.

@wendell about your audio situation.

There is popular freeware open source ā€œAudacityā€, which can filter the previously marked background noise. Super easy, super effective, sexy, fast to ā€˜learnā€™.

I think every other editor can do this too, as well as Normalization.

EDIT:
Did you document how to remove Cortana dlls and other win10 privacy tweaks?
(Do you have a new laptop yet? Still stuck on my Surfacebook)

The sarcastic statement of ā€œ7 sets of cables to your homeā€ seems so strange.

Thereā€™s got to be a better way of providing internet than having each company that does it having to lay cables everywhere.

Really feels like weā€™re in a ā€œah well, weā€™d like a better situation, but itā€™s just not possibleā€ kind of political ad. Surely there has to be a way.

I wasnā€™t sure what to think of that either.

Sure 7 cables is inefficient, but what about making companies share the infrastructure? Thatā€™s how itā€™s been in germany sinceā€¦ basically forever. Mainly because the infrastructure is partly subsidised by the state, so in return companies have to share. Isnā€™t it supposed to be this way in the US too?

Yep. That was the plan that everyone agreed to twenty years ago. And then fought tooth and nail against. So now we still have cable tv, phone and optionally Google fiber. 3 wire providers

Well, to be fair we have Cable and phone/DSL as well.
Iā€™m not 100% sure how itā€™s with Cable tho, but I think that is shared as well. But it is like you mentioned in last weeks news, each house owner (for an apartment building) typically chooses one cable provider and you either take their cable package or you donā€™t (you donā€™t have to take premium packages though). Can also get Internet with that, if you want (or only Internet without TV package, whatever). Alternative is only IPTV (which comes with internet access obviously, and that one has actually usable upload too).

Weā€™re going to have problems with Cable in the near future too thoughā€¦ Kabel Deutschland, the primary cable provider, was bought by Vodafone a few years back. And they are now also buying Unity Media, which is the second largest cable provider (still needs approval of the regulatory arm)ā€¦ We still have a lot of smaller providers, some operated by the commune though (which are usually not as cheap as the big providers)ā€¦ so itā€™s not quite as black and white as in the US where itā€™s either take the one provider or donā€™t get internet.
