<p>Are you really making the argument that human flight hasn’t been effectively achieved at this point?<p>I actually kind of love this comparison — it demonstrates the point that just like “human flight”, “true AGI” isn’t a single point in time, it’s a many-decade (multi-century?) process of refinement and evolution.<p>Scholars a millennia from now will be debating about when each of these were actually “truly” achieved.</p>

<p>I’ll be honest, this was around 2005-2008 — it was a long time ago and at the time I really enjoyed the ritual of it all.<p>The main advice I can give you is to use ripping software that integrates with AccurateRip (XLD, EAC, etc) and use a widely supported lossless format (like FLAC).<p>Also — I can’t remember all the details, but there’s a way to store a CUE file, along with some metadata alongside your rip such that you can recreate an exact copy of the original physical media.<p>At least for now, I’ve moved on to streaming services, but I’m happy to know that I have a large library of music that I ripped myself to fall back to using instead, should I ever choose to.</p>

<p>Maybe think about going with the cheap table saw and spending the remainder of the money to get a nice track saw.<p>Of course, there are some things that you really do need a table saw for, but track saws are amazing and inherently safer in comparison to a table saw.<p>Particularly for sheet goods, I’ll never use anything but a track saw at this point.</p>

<p>The headline misses the mark here IMO. This actually seems really great, and critically it appears to make it very easy to help fix errors in ISP provided data.<p>For my location, the data generally seems accurate. I will be following up with a local provider that claims to offer 1 gig fiber — that’s definitely news to me.</p>

<p>The feature isn’t “locked” — it’s just a configuration option on one of the control modules in the car based on the original build configuration. Keep in mind that a specific module might be used on many different models of car.<p>Why not just have the rear speaker outputs enabled at all times even on vehicles that do t have rear speakers? I suspect it’s as simple as VW not wanting to show the front/rear fader control for a vehicle where it isn’t applicable.<p>FWIW, this absolutely can be done yourself using VCDS or OBD 11 to update the module settings.<p>I suspect in this case the dealer wasn’t telling you the entire truth — it may be as simple as them not having an established procedure for this in house and wanting to just get you to go away.</p>
