I know, right? That Sangean piece of you-know-what can't pull in MeTV FM worth an earthworm's spit, and it's supposed to be the creme-de-la-creme. The tube sets kick its you-know-what eight ways to Sunday. Even that crappy C845. Amen.

It's gonna be amazing, just wait! You guys are gonna be like.

I started coding the frame ranges support for the Curves filter. Meanwhile, Sherman is rebuilding all the IF cans on the C845. Britney's comment really hit him in the gut.

Hello. Do not know if it may affect dg tools or not, however I noticed this vapoursynth change:
https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursy ... /ChangeLog

since most plugins don't need api 4.1 you now have to define VS_USE_LATEST_API or VS_USE_API_41 to actually require it

Cheers

DGSource() relies only on baseline API 4, so that define is not required.

I've got ranges implemented. Just gonna check some corner cases and error checking and then I'll make a test release.

Don't believe all the crap about me guys. Daddy said just toss that Eico 368. The increductor primary was open so it wasn't sweeping. And it was sparking between the marker condenser plates when the marker was turned on. But no. The patient is alive and must be saved. I performed delicate surgery as shown below and restored the increductor functioning. Also shown is the sweep effect as I turn up the sweep width from 0. The marker condenser plates were adjusted to prevent shorting. The patient is doing great.

Hello. I just noticed this in the release notes of NVEnc.
Not sure if such means anything in terms of future possibilities for DG tools, or it's in the too-hard or not-worth-it or not-possible basket.
It seems there may be a "RTX" dependency which would rule it out as being generally useful I guess.
Anyway, just an fyi.

https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/releases/tag/7.56
Add AI enhanced resize mode using NVIDIA VSR (Video Super Resolution)
Add AI enhanced SDR → HDR conversion by RTX Video SDK

Cheers

Anything with AI-this or AI-that gets instantly rejected.

AI-enhanced, watch out!

VSR resize ho-hum, twiddle your thumb.

Still, it's interesting to see new stuff, so thank you hydra3333.

I guess you were doing your nails when I completed a swept alignment on it and it's performance is now indistinguishable from the X337. And it even sounds a bit better after I replaced the tweeter with a new piezo tweeter. Check it out! Even your songs sound barely tolerable on it now.

I'm on the hunt for a Philco tube FM radio right now. Philco used their own FM design and I'm curious to see how it performs compared to the Armstrong design.

Curiosity killed the cat.

I'm attempting to imagine it ...

the whole sparky clip thing ... and the mad scientist goggle-eyed smile in the freeze-frame at 12:29 ...

And of course one must adhere to safety standards ...

particularly when it gets to 6:56 ...

And as for dyi ... don't know why but I'm picturing something like this ...

Weird. Maybe you should stick to Sabine! Actually, she's growing on me after I saw her dissing the climate hoax.

Curly started a water fast today. Let's see how many hours it lasts.

A mere 8 days later and I already have a Philco FM radio that I have restored. Holy smokes, it plays great. It sounds better than the Zenith X337 and C845! Here it is for your edification -- Philco 49-909:

https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/philco_49_909.html

Some low-life jumpered a blown current-limiting resistor with a wire! I could tell from the burn marks and meIted wax that it must have run for some time like that and then finally popped an 117Z3 rectifier in the voltage doubler. So a new tube and a handful of new caps and voila. Doesn't even seem to need alignment. And no silver mica disease (thank the lard). The Philco FM design trounces Armstrong. Who woulda guessed?

You may bow down now.
