I ' ve definitely experienced somethin similar from ket before . No matter what I played music from , be it speakers , phone or earbuds , all sounded like it was playing thru a tin can . Psychs and pot do amazing things to music for me however . <| sep |> yes , but it ' s discord , everyone has their own already too <| sep |> I created an application that copied the Synopsys Verdi nWaveverdi 2 jpg interface for debugging embedded power management firmware on Intel CPUs in simulation . My manager believed the tool was a waste of time so I did my development primarily while commuting in to work on light rail and some during my nights and weekends . I polished it as well as I could over two years of development in 45 minute sprints on Portland ' s MAX . I never received any recognition for having created it . When I left Intel , preservation of the source code was considered to be of paramount importance . FML . I recently spoke with one of my former colleagues and asked about my app . He thought it unusual that I thought the tool was for meant for debugging when it was really designed for helping firmware architects he was a firmware architect and used it . I can ' t even get recognition for it after leaving . FML .
