The bottom right one should be tor-rent, not torr-ent. It’s a peer-to-peer media rental service running over the illicit TOR network. TOR is yet another project the notorious criminal hacker Linuxos Torvaldos made and named after himself.
People always told Linuxos to keep his legal name and his illegal software separate but he wouldn’t listen. He got caught in a San Francisco public library reading with his wife Stella Richman. What a git.
Picture translators add text boxes in another language on top of recognized text. They don’t contain such artifacts and can be rendered at any resolution. These artifacts will only appear if output from a picture translator is processed further.
It’s most likely upscaled. The pictures have the same artifacts.
The pictures have the same kind of artifacts though. This is AI upscaled at the very least.
For any harmonic, you first need to get a sound source of that frequency such as a tuning fork or speaker. It’s best to place the source where you expect an antinode to be. You can try to just pluck the string at that point but that will probably also produce a lots of harmonics you don’t want.
For the kth harmonic, there are k antinodes at (2i-1)/(2k) of the string length, where i≤k; i∈ℕ.
Fundamental (A1):
2nd harmonic (1 octave up, A2):
3rd harmonic (perfect fifth from A2 or approx. E3):
4th harmonic (2 octaves up, A3):
8th harmonic (4 octaves up, A4):
Using fractional frets is cumbersome because they are non-linear. You’re probably better off with a tape measure or ruler.
the 12th fret is 1 octave up
Yup. 12 semitones is 1 octave so A2 on the bass guitar’s A string. The frequency ratio to A1 is 2:1.
5th is 2 octaves
What? No. That’s 5 semitones or 500 cents from A1, which is D2, close to a perfect fourth from A1 (frequency ratio 4:3 or 498 cents).
Two octaves would be 24 semitones or 24 frets (not available on most fretted instruments) for a frequency ratio of 4:1, or A3.
just past the second fret is 3 octaves
No! The 2nd fret is 2 semitones or 200 cents above A1, which is B1, close to a major second from A1 (frequency ratio 9:8 or 196 cents).
3 octaves would be 36 semitones or 3600 cents for a frequency ratio of 8:1, or A4.
As Frozengyro@lemmy.world mentioned, you can have interesting results by using harmonics - tones that are a whole (k) multiple of the base frequency because then the string vibrates in a standing wave forming a series of k+1 nodes (including ends) and k antinodes equally spaced across its length. Such notes are:
| Closest note | Freq. | Harm. | Relation to A |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 55 Hz | base | (aka fundamental or open string frequency) |
| A2 | 110 Hz | 2nd | octave above A1 |
| E3 + 2 cents | 165 Hz | 3rd | perfect fifth from A2 |
| A3 | 220 Hz | 4th | octave above A2 |
| C#4 - 14 cents | 275 Hz | 5th | major third from A3 |
| E4 + 2 cents | 330 Hz | 6th | perfect fifth from A3 |
| G4 - 31 cents | 385 Hz | 7th | far from a note on the chromatic scale |
| A4 | 440 Hz | 8th | octave above A3 |
| B4 + 4 cents | 495 Hz | 9th | major second from A4 |
| C#5 - 14 cents | 550 Hz | 10th | major third from A4 |
| D#5 - 49 cents | 605 Hz | 11th | very far from a note on the chromatic scale |
| E5 + 2 cents | 660 Hz | 12th | perfect fifth from A4 |
| F5 + 41 cents | 715 Hz | 13th | very far from a note on the chromatic scale |
| G5 - 31 cents | 770 Hz | 14th | far from a note on the chromatic scale |
| G#5 - 12 cents | 825 Hz | 15th | minor second below A5 |
| A5 | 880 Hz | 16th | octave above A4 |
Frequencies and relations are exact, closest chromatic (piano) notes other than A are approximate, the deviation is expressed in whole cents (hundreths of semitones). Notes more than 20 cents off the chromatic scale will probably sound off so they are discouraged. You could continue forever but frequencies above that will have a very weak response.
Yes, you will get some resonance on non-integer multiples but way less.
I think that would make a standing wave with a series of nodes/antinodes on the string, and how well it works would strongly depend on where the tuning fork is along the string. This has the potential to be more interesting but it’s not as easy. See my other comment for a table at which frequencies a standing wave occurs on the A1 string.
For context, bass guitar strings are tuned 3 octaves lower than that. The frequency of the A string is 55 Hz. You can’t even reach 220 Hz using the 12th fret on the highest (G) string. Tuning a bass A string to 8 times the frequency would require increasing its tension almost 3 times 64 times. The guitar body should will not survive such forces but the string will snap long before you reach 110 Hz.
Edit: got the quadratic formula the other way around
You can do the experiment on a non-bass guitar: “shorten” the high E string (330 Hz) by 5 frets to reach close to 440 Hz. It’s a chromatic scale and not a perfect fifth (error of +0.02 semitones) but that can be corrected without damage by holding the 5th fret and tuning the string to exactly 440 Hz. This shorter string will then react to the tuning fork as intended.
Kind Mita obviously, the 4th one in the list. Short-haired Mita is a close second.

It’s easy to fix. Connect another keyboard and use it to install Linux.
That’s the main problem taken care of. As for the beans, IDK, maybe bring a couple of chickens into the office while the installer is copying files?
Life can be tough and it’s OK to seek hope but this corner of the internet is mostly atheists so you can’t appeal to faith here. Even Christians agree that God does not interact with people as directly as 2000+ years ago so you cannot rely on literal signs from Them. If you want to apply quotes from the Bible in your life (I would personally advise against that), speak to a member of your preferred church or an explicitly Christian community online.
