It’s 2018 and I still have no clue how CDs work. It’s a shiny disc, how do they get data on that, let alone that much?? Magic
Like a vinyl disc, where a physical groove is marked into the vinyl, a laser marks the ink of a CD in a similar manner. A laser (your disc drive) can then look at the pattern in the ink and understand it.
There’s no grooves on a CD tho???
They’re just really tiny, hence the laser. The smaller grooves means that more info can fit on a disc of the same size.
Man how the fuck did they figure out how to make that
“What if we replaced the Diamond needle of a record player with a laser?”
it’s only comparable to the grooves on a vinyl record in the sense that a spiral is the best way to store a track of data on a rotating disc. the truth is far more impressive than any of you have let on
Audio is translated into an electrical signal by a device that produces alternating current at the same frequency and intensity (voltage) as the sound waves hitting it, a microphone.
The voltage of that analogue audio signal is measured 44,100 times per second on a scale from -32,768 to 32,767 and stored as binary.
That binary does not go onto the disc directly as burnt area = 0, as many sources will tell you. The change from a pit to a land or vice-versa is what signifies a 1. It is also modulated to allow the player to read it more easily and encoded in a way so that the disc can still be read even if there are many bits that cannot be read due to a reasonable degree of scratches or dirt.
That finalized set of binary instructions is fed into a laser that etches the pits into a glass disc coated with a polymer that falls off glass discs easily when hit directly by a laser. It is then put in a vacuum chamber, coated with nickel, and a negative copy of that is grown by the complicated process of electrodeposition.
That negative copy is used to mold a disc of clear plastic with all the pits and lands. After it is molded it is coated with aluminum and another layer of plastic on top of the aluminum.
You put it in the CD player and the sensor that measures how much light is reflected by the laser sends that data to a little computer that reverses those modulations and error-correction encoding and sends that data to a circuit that takes the now-raw binary data and turns it back into an analogue signal that is amplified and sent to a speaker.
So it’s like a vinyl record?
yeah kinda
if we being honest, rihanna doesn’t seem like the best person to text in a crisis
I feel like she’s the type to text back 5 hours later like “you good? 👀”
i want 2 be a she really did that!! kind of girl but i dont Do anything
why would i fuck a demon? simple, the status. imagine rolling up into hell already havin had ur back blown out by one of their own. imagine you and a gang of other losers standin at the gates of hell, they’re all crying, scared to death about having a pitchfork up their ass for eternity and you just walk into the arms of your sugar demon? legendary.
this is literally
you fucks better start using colored text everywhere like you’re a school girl who just got a pack of glitter pens for her 12th birthday
The Social Network (2010) was ahead of its time. It was made too early. People thought it was over-the-top in its depiction of Mark Zuckerberg, that it wasn’t totally accurate, that it exaggerated the way Facebook is exploitative and was born from exploitation and deception. It ended up losing most academy awards it was nominated for. The King’s Speech ended 2010 as the “best” movie, and it has fallen completely off the radar in the meantime. Meanwhile, The Social Network was truly a work of art. Like it had all the shit about Zuckerberg being a robot, the irony of him being a complete asshole that started a social media company that is supposed to “connect” us to each other, the hollowness of greed - Fincher had our memes before we had them, presented in a mindblowingly piercing and biting movie. David Fincher made a masterpiece with that film and I feel like it is only going to be viewed more and more positively as we all collectively realize how fucking true the film is.
