AI Thread Summary
The NES sound card, known for its unique audio capabilities, can be challenging to extract and repurpose for building an 8 or 16 step sequencer. While constructing the sequencer itself may be straightforward, understanding the complexity of the NES sound card is crucial. The sound card features multiple channels and specific programming requirements, which can complicate integration with new hardware. Additionally, the physical extraction process may pose difficulties, especially considering the delicate nature of the components. Researching existing projects, such as those found on forums dedicated to electronic music production, can provide valuable insights and guidance for those interested in this endeavor.

How hard would it be to pull the sound card out of an old NES game system and build a 8 or 16 step sequencer for it. Building the sequencer would be no prob, but I'm just curious as to how complicated that NES sound card is. I have a couple of NESs at my parents house, but I don't want to make the 300 mile drive or have them mailed without knowing how complicated it will be hahaha. Any help is appreciated.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
