I'm surprised there have not been any postings about Sol beta testing progress.

If you're part of the beta, you're getting weekly updates. Most of them read like this: "waiting for parts, you'll get them when we get them."

I'll have a new chapter tomorrow with some more detail.

Waiting for parts...good parts...

Right now I'm still waiting for designs. Remember when you talked about the problems that come from designs by committee? Yea that's me right now and it's going to be the death of semiconductor fabrication industry innovation. Or at least it feels like that right now. Too many cooks, too many egos, too many competing desires, too many unnecessary requirements and incompatible standards. I'd love to just be waiting for parts... or rather to be managing a project for a small company where the designer creates the design without seven layers of bureaucracy.

The joys of smaller scale operations. There is a video game developer I follow and he was commenting on how his first game (a fighting game called Skullgirls) was small so he could just push out software patches when needed. His most recent project (a game called Indivisible) is bigger. There were issues for PC at launch and he had a fix ready for it quick, but it had to go through an approval process before it could be pushed out. He was a little annoyed that a fix was being delayed for that, but understood the reasoning in this case. Then when the fix was pushed out, he had to wait for approval on the patch notes before being able to release that.

There are times when I'm very happy I'm unemployable.

I don't have much bluegrass in my musical diet but I've always appreciated the raw musical talent. I came across Billy Strings while watching some youtoob videos of Marcus King (search youtoob for Marcus King + Billy Strings, they're a great pair).

Billy Strings released "Home" last week and it's a damn fine listen. If you've only got time for one song start with the title track but let it play all the way through.

Billy turns 27 this week and Marcus King is, I believe, only 23. So it's nice to see the younger generations making good music.

Anyway, Billy Strings "Home". Available on Qobuz and Spotify but not Amazon Music. (Not sure about Tidal)

First track (taking water) - goosebumps. BTW found it on Amazon at 24/96.

Nuts. My post was directed at beta testers, not Schiit. I have no doubt Schiit is doing their best to get the Sol to the point it needs to be. I was hoping beta testers would report their experiences.

Glad you like it. I did find it on Amazon but, on my computer, it only shows up as 24/48. To say that I dislike the Amazon Music app would be a major understatement. "Ultra HD" = 24/48? Misleading at best. Amazon needs to do better, but I suspect the general public won't notice.

like the solar panel plant business some years ago: technocrats ordering from bureaucrats ... Shell didn’t like it
