The $10k ethernet cable
-
I don't exactly know the details about how Ethernet works, but wouldn't (gigabit) Ethernet use mostly at a single frequency anyway? I.e., why exactly are there different frequencies?
What's this nonsense, of course there's multiple frequencies. Each note has a different frequency, otherwise it wouldn't be a different note. Sheesh.

Well, I didn't tell you that I listen to this all day long:

Looking for the pure sine wave on youtube, I also came across this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xpI00ShS4MAs far as I can determine, it's 45 min of the same thing, and it has 1.3M views.

Binaural beats can have a certain hypnotic effect. (For that matter, so does heavy bass-drumming in late 80's thrash metal).

Speaking as an expert on cheap cars (I race them), most people just aren't willing to put in the legwork to get a good car cheap. It's very hard, and involves stalking Craigslist and similar,and when something pops up, immediately leaping into the truck (with trailer already attached) with a wad of 50 dollar bills to go get it. Just being there with cash ready to do the transaction RIGHT NOW is worth an astounding amount of money.
Do you find stolen cars often? What about cars that have almost no brakes? Cars with three layers of paint? Completely wore down suspension? Rusty everything? Doors or engine from another car? Frames welded from three other taken from crashed cars?

A square wave consists of a fundamental frequency plus all the odd-numbered harmonics of that frequency (f0, 3f0, 5f0, 7f0, etc.). A sequence of pulses that carries meaningful data is more complicated, but the same idea applies.
If the various frequencies travel at different speeds, the pulses tend to blur together. If it's bad enough, it can be difficult to distinguish between ones and zeros. ECC, resending un-ACKed packets, etc. can help, but if it's that bad, your wiring is seriously out of spec.

Ah, yeah. *facepalm* Forgot about that.
-

Someone who listens for 10 seconds, says , and goes elsewhere still counts as a view.
-
Those are a thing in all communications.
Every method of getting data from A to B boils down to either radio or a waveguide.
Copper and Fibre optic are both waveguides, just for considerably different frequencies.IIRC, Ethernet uses a square wave (10base was Manchester)
A square wave is actually an infinite series of sinewaves at ever-increasing frequencies (all the odd harmonics of the fundamental).
The highest frequencies can be lost and the data still be recovered as __/ still looks close enough, but _/ might not and v doesn't.Further to that if the frequencies travel far enough at different speeds, their phase relationship will change and your square wave may not even resemble a square anymore, instead looking like a rabbit. Or a nasal demon.

What if the signal comes in as

?

It is oddly relaxing. Wouldn't listen to it for more than ... err. 3.5min and counting, though.
-
You know which direction the evil ideas thread is
Yes, but is the cable running in the right direction???

Well, yes, see, 528 Hz is the tone of harmonic Fibonacci spiral pulsing at the rate of π and it produces 1.21 jiggawatts... No, I give up, it's so stupid I can't make it funny. My brain starts melting halfway through trying to make a joke.

I've tried sleeping to such things before during periods of insomnia. They won't put me to sleep, but it does somehow relax me enough for it to be slightly more restful than not sleeping at all.

I had to repeat every line in this video ten times because I couldn't make out what they were talking about.

Stolen basically never (you need to filter out everything without a title that's newer than 30 years). It helps this guy that he's a cop. He mentions it on the phone.
No brakes only in project grade. 3 layers of paint practically never (0 layers is more common). Busted suspension depends on the state (if they have inspections its never very far gone). Door swaps are rare. Engine replacement is roughly the same rate as the general automotive population (basically never aside from certain problem models and anything with a first gen small Block Chevy). Rust is always a concern, but it's worth a stiff discount if it's not too bad, and if it's unfixable and you can be confident about it, you can more often than not get them to sell it to you for less than scrap value and drop it off for a profit on the way home. Major frame repair is a dealer scam and basically never seen on the private market. If you find it, it's the same as bad rust.
Even when you find broken shit, if you get it for the right price and do a quick brake or suspension job with cheap parts, you'll more than make money on it. You just have to have the encyclopedic knowledge to know how much time and money fixing it will cost, and then how much it'll be worth when you're done.

This post makes me think that ./ is synonym for /b/.
The articles may link to interesting things. The summaries may be debatable. But not in the comments, which you should stay away from.
I think.

Did you find @Gaska's old car that was stolen, I think is the question being asked here?

Seems like US used car market is nothing like Polish used car market. Another reason to go west.Did you find @Gaska's old car that was stolen, I think is the question being asked here?
No, thankfully I never had a car stolen. Though recently I was looking for a new car, and out of several dozen I looked at, the only one under $4000 that wasn't complete garbage had questionably legit papers and very unclear ownership history.

All this talk of "frequencies" and "signal rates" is fine, but this is music. What really matters is hard, quantifiable metrics such as "Warmth", "Brightness" and "Soar".
No, wait. What really matters are the $9,995 markup on a length of cat-5e, being the seller rather than the buyer, and the 109th rule of acquisition. Never mind.
-
No, thankfully I never had a car stolen.
You keep telling youself that, if it makes you feel happier. If it's any consolation, it sounded like a terrible car anyway, so I think the thief did you a favour...

Actually, I'm pretty sure the $10k cable is to make the $1k cable look like a bargain.

Did you see it? They seemed to want to protect it from nuclear warfare.
It seriously looks like, if the thing to put in a Spartan armor suit, is a cable, rather than a badass soldier.
I mean, some defense contractor should seriously consider stringing them together into reflex armor.
I mean, if the end came, this cable would survive it.

Here in the First World, you have rental car turnover, leases, and people who just buy new cars every few years. Presumably other cases, but there you go.
Here in the
second2.5 World, you drive the damn POS until even a scrap metal dealer won't take it off your hands if you pay him, then put a little paint job, tweak the odometer, and sell as "fresh and new, 5k kilometers, previous owner German, used only for going to church on Sundays, guy cried when he was selling".Well, yes, see, 528 Hz is the tone of harmonic Fibonacci spiral pulsing at the rate of π and it produces 1.21 jiggawatts...

Maybe it's actually the brown note.

previous owner German
And if it's also a German car, oh boy, premium! Find an ad for a beater in the same class and double the price. You'll probably sell it for that.

Fiat 126
My family actually did have that for a while. Even with the size, my mom still managed to dent two cars at once when parking.
-
Well I went for the 126 on purpose. Wasn't sure if you got Zastavas over there, but I was sure you had 126s ;)
(The standard joke involves Zastava Yugo around here)

Zastavas
Haven't seen any in the wild, and I don't even think I've heard about them before, even though allegedly we've produced them for a while.
As far as jokes go, 126p reigns even today.

528Hz is a bit high. The "brown note" is somewhere in the 30-70Hz range, depending on the person. (You want to hit the resonant frequency of a person's intestinal system, adding additional vibration which interferes with the normal course of operations, and ideally provoking a spontaneous evacuation... evil ideas thread? Yeah, I'll see myself out...)

Ooo that's a good one.

Pro tip: for a few years now, saying what result number something is on Google is not that much of a proof of popularity of content, but more an indication of your own browsing habits / search history. See? I got Memory Alpha as the first hit...

Also, just to be clear, when I googled it, I got the same result as you.

The true butt of the joke in the UK is the Reliant Robin. What do you call the special edition Robin with twin exhausts and a sunroof? A wheelbarrow.

I'm not sure what that would involve, but pretty sure DO NOT WANT!

WAtching Ferengi por
First off, it was a story, not a video. Second, it wasn't even porn, it was "literotica". What that means is a human woman tells you a couple of times she gets naked to perform some Ferengi musical instrument in concerts.
I read the whole 10 or so paragraphs because I had a strong sense of WAT. It was, like, the lamest porn ever. Bluenoses would be disappointed.
