Arch Linux on Surface Book 1

Recently Microsoft told me that my Surface Book 1 was garbage and I should throw it in the trash. Even though it is old and only a dual core and only has 8 GB of RAM, I resent being told what to do.

Some Love For Interoperable Apps

I like to try different apps. What makes trying different apps incredible is a layer of interoperability — standardized protocols, data formats, etc. When I can bring my data from one app to another, that’s cool. Cool apps are interoperable. They work with my data, rather th...

Raspberry Pi cluster spotted inside $6k audio processor

Raspberry Pi cluster spotted inside $6k audio processor

People often ask me whether Pi clusters are useful besides just tinkering. I've built my fair share, including my most recent 'Lamp Rack' Kubernetes-in-a-Lamp cluster.

Well... I have a definitive answer: the Orban Optimod 5000-series audio processors:

It's time for Dolly to record that long-lost Prince song.

By many measures, 1986 was the greatest year of Prince’s extraordinary career. One of the most remarkable metrics was that he recorded over 250 songs that year, many of which were released on his own albums or that he gave away to other artists over the years. But one of tho...

BPS is a GPS alternative that nobody's heard of

I came to the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show this year with my Dad to learn more about time in broadcast and live production.

I was expecting to learn more about grandmaster clocks, AV sync, timing in protocols like Dante, Livewire, AES67, and more—and I have. But then on the first day here I found this odd little corner of the building with a completely empty booth:

When you see an oscilloscope that costs 3x the value of your car on a trade show floor... well, let's just say my interest was piqued.
