AAC is generally better than mp3, but idk about Opus.

It didn’t “run a red light”. In the video, the lights were green when it entered the intersection.

But yeah, it should not have tried to make that turn from that lane.

diagnostic

I think it is useful to send crash reports, but the user should have power over it (see: when macOS generates a crash report, it asks the user if they would like to send it)

engagement measuring

That is your data they are taking to make money off of without your consent, and I consider that malicious. There are ways to do that with consent. See: Steam’s annual hardware survey

Honestly it largely is.

Personally I like sharing crash reports, but even then, the user should be able to turn that off if you like.

Telemetry should be 100% opt-in.

I’ve had 8 joy cons drift. 6 of them I sent in to have Nintendo fix, the last pair I fixed myself with Hall effect sticks. I’ve also replaced some friends joycons with Hall effect sticks.

All potentiometer based controllers can drift eventually, the problem is the joycons are very thin and drift fairly quickly. Normally it takes years of heavy usage (think a competitive smash player jamming the thing back and forth) to become a problem. Joy cons fail under relatively average usage in a year or two, which is not normal.

Everyone assumes the Switch 2 joysticks are going to have the problem because they look almost exactly the same as the Switch 1 joysticks.

If the ISP doesn’t provide V6 though it’s time to switch ISPs.

I got a huge reduction in random login attempts when I changed my ssh port away from the default.

(Of course I also have actual security measures like log in by key only)

It’s still there, buried in the settings. TBF I wouldn’t expect them to remove it, because some people probably do use it.

Rumble has been basically a variant of a traditional speaker in many devices for a while now.

Also it can still heat up, although it might not be as prone to burnout as a motor.

While selling data in general is shitty, I want to push back on the fear mongering a little bit.

This only applies to new accounts, can be opt-out of, and doesn’t apply to self-hosted content.

I tried jellyfin but it isn’t even close to as a good as plex

It’s just as true a statement to say each of those 0 people at a billion slices of pie.

However, with these types of word problems, there’s usually the implication that the pie is now gone. There’s kind of a problem figuring out where the pie went when nobody ate any pie.

Possibly. I haven’t played in a while but it was quite good when I did play.

BattleBit Remastered

Are you confusing CRF with CBR?

CRF is the video equivalent of VBR music. The music equivalent of two-pass video encoding is ABR music.

When tuned for a specific file, CRF and two-pass video will give similar results. They both result in a variable bitrate encoding.

When using the same config on different files, you might find that two-pass encoding produces unnecessarily large files for something with little movement like anime, or has quality issues for something with a lot of movement like a lot of shaky camera or film grain. Meanwhile the same CRF setting will work well in just about any scenario, using more bitrate for files that need it, and less bitrate for files that don’t.

2 pass encoding is only to get the benefits of variable bit rate when targeting a specific file size. If you don’t have a specific file size in mind, that’s what CRF is for.

I meant the productivity suite not just file sharing. I edited my comment to try to make it clearer.

There really is no competitor to Google Drive’s online collaborative document and slideshow editing right now. Apple and Microsoft have made some weak attempts but until their software works fully in a browser and is 100% free to get started, it won’t catch on. It not just about email.
