AI Thread Summary
To use Bose speakers with a PC, a regular stereo amplifier is recommended, especially if the speakers are large stereo models. The PC's sound card output is typically low power, making direct connection to the speakers inadequate. Instead, connect the PC output to a line input on the amplifier (such as CD, Tape, or Aux) and then connect the speakers to the amplifier for optimal performance.

Hi. I have two Bose speakers and I'd like to use them on my PC. Do you guys know what exactly I'd need for that?

Thanks,
Jack

If the speakers are big stereo jobs then you'll probably want a regular stereo amp. You can plug the PC output into a line-input (CD, Tape, Aux) and connect the speakers as you normally would. The output of the usual PC sound card is pretty low power, so just connecting them directly to the PC would probably be disappointing.

Ok schip. That sounds simple now that you described it.

Thanks!
 
This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
