I wonder which ad agency come up with this brilliant hand-washing propaganda after all the shit Mozilla grabbed since the new CEO was in.

One thing no one will tell you HOW LOUD some HDDs could get under load. You may not want any of those disks around if you’re keeping your server around your living spaces.

Just check dB values in the spec sheets.

I find this comment pretty surprising because all my impression of Jane is about her influential activism.

Anti-war stance, HWPC, getting arrested 3 times at 80+ years old for climate change, supporting LGBTQ+s since 70s etc.

I know all these and I’m just a random guy from Turkiye.

Soma.FM

Surprised to see it’s not mentioned here. 24 years old internet radio, still kicking, over 30 channels with hand-picked playlists, almost all of them suitable for concentration. They are sponsoring Def-Con for years. Owner has a great Fediverse presence.

Channels have very interesting concepts like Spy Jazz, Ambient over NASA’s mission broadcasts, Celtic Folk, Vaporwave, 80s Synthpop and my favorite SF 10-33 Ambient over San Francisco Police Radio live feed.

This game feels like the perfect candidate for streaming from XCloud/GeForce Now since all those data doesn’t really need to be transferred all the time. And the game’s design can tolerate a bit input latency.

I happen to use it after the last year’s UI update but UX still needed a lot of work. Did that improved too?

Game Dev here. More specifically, audio director. Used to be tech sound designer and composer. I find it hard to explain even over here, among the geeks like me.

It’s terrible with direct streaming lossless Dolby Atmos (TrueHD) streams, not only where it’s not possible but there are workarounds (AppleTV / Infuse), but also on each and every platform it’s being done by other apps (Android, Xbox, PC / Kodi).

I only use it because I paid peanuts for lifetime premium and alternatives have egregious UX that I can withstand but my extended family cannot.

Is it possible you’re using your desktop’s GPU for ffmpeg encoding, and not the CPU, by chance?

I have to demonstrate to my friends every time how my MBP M2 blows my Ryzen 5950x desktop out of the water for my professional line of work.

I can’t catch quite the drift what x86/x64 chips are good for anymore, other than gaming, nostalgia and spec boasting.

I was there when Microsoft COFEE released on WhatCD. And it appears I’ll be there when the certain villains’s coke party released on RED.

That being said, I left Spotify after 18 years recently because my money wasn’t going to artists I listen anyway. Bandcamp + SoulSeek + Lidarr is the way.
