It’s not perfect, but at least you’re only seeing others’ activity.

There’s hopefully a “discover” email notification you can disable. I haven’t been bothered enough to check yet. Worst case, it could be filtered out pretty easily.

You opted out, but they didn’t

It’s just replacing the second letter in Mr or Ms with an X as a neutral variable

You looked at the text but clearly didn’t read it.

They’re saying that if Apple won the same lawsuit when it’s appstore is an actual monopoly, then Epic doesn’t stand a chance against Google.

Oh yes, the U.S. military… pretty much the last people in the world you should trust.

HDR on a proper panel is where the real difference would be for most people.

The pixel density isn’t very noticeable unless a tv is 70 inches or larger (at normal viewing distance).

Pixel quality is often far more important than the Pixel quantity. It’s even more noticeable on physical media since streaming is often pretty compressed, especially when it comes to audio.

It was the chronological 3nd until the Jigsaw and Spiral reboots which take place 10+ years after the death of Jigsaw. But yeah I only refer to it as Saw VII for that reason

Saw X takes place between 2 and 3

Edit: I love Saw 2 for the story development but yeah the needle pit is unbearable I can’t watch that part

Same I’m finally looking to build one in January or February

Good human

Saw 3D was the marketing name but it’s more commonly referred to as Saw The Final Chapter (the other official name) or Saw VII

Electronic throttle and braking have redundancies, you should be safe in that regard

oh neat they upgraded, it used to be 192kbps which is abysmal, they should have updated to at least 320 but whatever

Tidal’s entire library should be lossless unless you’re on the free ad tier. But the high quality should be 320? I don’t have a subscription anymore

Yea it was pretty recent, 2-3 months ago. I’m not sure if they’re done migrating replacing all of the MQA files though because even the Hi-Fi (below Master) would get a downsampled MQA instead of a FLAC. It should be HFLAC and FLAC now

Spotify is inching toward adding the level of personalisation that Google Play Music used to have and YT Music is still playing catch-up. GPM used to have playlists for location and time of day (Wednesday afternoon at home, or Friday night at work, Tuesday morning on the road, etc). I’m still salty they killed it. Unfortunately they all sound like trash if unless you’re listening to Bluetooth. The lossless files make a tiny difference on old car Bluetooth but not much, it’s a tad cleaner when it’s only being compressed once as opposed to twice. On wired headphones though it’s a night-and-day difference

Tidal dropped MQA a while ago they switched to hi-res FLAC. They sold MQA off to some Canadian company

Spotify and YT music have the two lowest bitrates at 192kbps for YT and 328kbps for Spotify so they both sound like garbage. I’ve never listened to music less than when I was using YT music. Bad personalized playlists, awful sound quality, it would mix in music videos and shit. I’d rather the radio at that point

Tidal sounds vastly better (1441kbps lossless CD quality at the same price) but their personalized playlists are quite lacking.

However… I’ve found Apple Music to be the best one. Its audio quality is even higher than Tidal, supporting not only lossless, but also high-res lossless (between 4608 and 9616 kbps… far above above CD quality, great for studio speakers.) Its recommendations are almost as good as Spotify too.

I don’t own any Apple hardware btw, the app works great on Android. The Windows app is “in preview” but it’s pretty stable and both of them support lossless audio (just don’t use the website to listen, that’s not lossless)

Edit: spelling and formatting looked okay on my tiny phone

Edit 2: I forgot to mention that both Spotify (and especially YT Music try as hard as possible to not pay artists. Tidal was known for paying artists really well until a year or two ago when new ownership changed things. Apple Music still pays pretty well (for a streaming service)

Edit 3: Tidal also has high-res lossless but the “Max” tier is twice the price

Okay but 7zip can open and create .rar archives so why would anyone ever use WinRAR

It’s GPT itself that’s shittier. All of these cloud AI platforms are very expensive to run. These are both well-known and you definitely didn’t have to talk to “Microsoft” to make that conclusion.

It’s been shown off for months. You click the volume speaker and then a second click will get you to a mixer that almost looks like Ear Trumpet. I’ll probably stick to Ear Trumpet though since it’s just one click
