Even my super basic washer has a delayed start timer that solves that issue without wifi modules or whatever. Then again insurance doesn’t cover a water leak or oven fire if I run stuff when I’m away so I never do that.

The “communists” (hardly…) are bought by lobbyists?

Every influencer/whatever should strive to be like Tom, his series is the greatest on youtube of the last decade and I’m sad to see it end.

At the same time I’m looking forward to whatever he may try out and hopefully he’ll remain somewhat relevant even though we don’t deserve him at all.

Bluetooth and bluetooth audio are very different things. Bluetooth audio support seem rather weak and users seem to be using usb audio blootooth dongles created for pa4 and ps5 such as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MF5S5YX rather than a generic bluetooth transciever.

What little freebsd support for bluetooth audio there is seem to rely on specific audio backend software and since I’m assuming ps5 has surround sound, atmos and whatnot they probably threw that out of the window early on during development.

With that said sony has done plenty of graphical stuff on what I assume is their custom display driver suchas 3d, vrr, hdr. So them having plenty of custom modules on top of freebsd can’t really be an excuse so I’d just cook it down to sony priorities.

Also, fuck developing for bluetooth. Hate that janky specification…

Because bluetooth audio playback is part of the kernel and pulseaudio/pipewire (and more) and unless sony want to run those on the ps5 (which arguably would be a bad idea at this point) that’s not really a useful analogy.

A better question is why a dedicated gaming company like nintendo could at least get some audio working while ps5 made by a much bigger and more diverse company can’t.

Arguably it’s because ps5 is a home console and audio playback is the realm of the tv or receiver/soundbar in that setting and they are more concerned with showing ads and spying on you than basic functionality nowadays…

Linking is enough to be illegal in places. A torrent file or magnet link is just a link and contain no pirated content itself yet here we are.

Which seem perfectly reasonable to me honestly. This all seem like a nothing issue when we have larger problems concerning things like planned obsolescence and no maintainability to deal with.

Drone strikes are the holy grail of the military-industrial complex. They are cheap to run meaning that the air force doesn’t have to give them a huge budget yet consume precision bombs and missiles at a steady rate meaning that the weapon industry get a secure revenue stream. And they can be scaled up almost infinitely since there is no bad news coverage of wounded veterans or crying widows on us television.

If my mom saw that on her phone she would call me and say her phone was exploding. Or go and buy a new phone.

Doing stuff behind the scenes is fine because people are ignorant and easily panic. But it should have been visible in the battery power menu or something.

Isn’t it just a web app/electron on windows anyway? I’ve run a whatsapp “client” on linux for years without problems.

Hard to describe since it’s literally called livetv… It uses the saint martin top level domain… ymmv

Don’t download their player obviously

Maybe he’s referring to that even if the source is 44.1/16-bit flac or wave (cd) the entire chain maybe isn’t. Maybe the firmware (android in this case) uses a fixed 48kHz sample rate which to me makes it sound a lot more dull. Maybe the dac in whatever is playing the flac file is objectively or subjectively worse than the one in the cd player (this matters a lot). Maybe the firmware doesn’t allow for exclusive access to the dac to whatever software is playing the flac file. A cd players is comparably simpler to program software for since it’s only made to do one thing which is to play one format at one sample rate and bit rate. That’s it.

Lossless sources doesn’t mean a lossfree playback chain from the software to the dac.

Ok

The admins of lemmy.world, see the main post you’re commenting in.

Transcoding kills audio but whatever :)

So 128kbps transcoded to 96kbps? Seems like quite a significant price to pay, but whatever you’re happy with works for you :)

Some. There seem to be no problem with reforming the mod ranks…

So what reforms have they enacted the last decades that could be considered socialist. To me the chinese communist party seem closer aligned with the ideals and actions of the NSDAP.

I really don’t get China being seen as a communist state. At this point it’s a straight up fascist dictatorship.

Oh I don’t know, starting or popularising the trend of gluing the phone together, removing the 3.5mm jack, not adopting the standardised method for post-sms communication (rcs vs imessage) to name a few.
