Got my DAW basement recording area torn apart right now as I just bought a newer used computer. Replacing my old ex-gov’t i5 desktop w/16GB RAM for a newer and faster i7. The local fellow I bought this desktop from just had it custom built for his music production, but he’s switched over to MAC so didn’t need it anymore. He’s an Emmy award musician and producer; written music for over 4000 TV episodes and film scores. The computer’s a good step up for me. Here’s some of the specs.
Intel Core i7-5930K @ 3.5GHz — 6 cores / 12 threads (LGA 2011-v3), 64GB DDR4 RAM, 750GB storage, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Universal Audio QUAD Core DSP Card (PCIe).
Don’t have a clue what the Universal Audio device is. It has a whole whack of plugins in the folder.
Got it for $250 and so far it runs great. Doing the file transfer and software install thing now. And cleaning up the recording area a bit too. #music #recording #tech
#Meta will #stop selling and showing #politicalads in the #EU from October due to the EU’s Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising (#TTPA) regulation.

If you need therapy, a therapist is legally bound to keep what you say confidential. And if you use ChatGPT for mental health care? “… we haven’t figured that out yet …” CEO Sam Altman recently said on the This Past Weekend with Theo Von podcast. @Techcrunch has the story and link to their conversation covering a broad range of topics:
TechCrunch · Sam Altman warns there's no legal confidentiality when using ChatGPT as a therapist | TechCrunchIn response to a question about how AI works with today's legal system, Altman said one of the problems of not yet having a legal or policy framework for AI is that there's no legal confidentiality for users' conversations.

TL;DR: Canada's Bill C-2 could dramatically expand U.S. surveillance powers over Canadians, allowing law enforcement to access personal data with minimal legal barriers and potentially sharing it without user notification. This controversial bill raises significant concerns about privacy rights and the implications of cross-border data sharing with foreign agencies. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/07/canadas-bill-c-2-opens-floodgates-us-surveillance #law #tech #legaltech
