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.

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 :)

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.

The other side is that they’ll also push back against good stuff for the consumer since everything they do is completely out of self interest.

And that’s fine, I’m just sad how that type of content has significantly marginalised original films and shows.

Or the 100th marvel movie and tv show or some member-berries star wars show.

I never thought of that as a possibility. Best of both worlds then I guess.

Check out this list. The imax 70mm ones would be reels like this one.

Usb is a de-facto standard and are we still using usb 1.1?

A surprising number of films are still shot on film and then transfered to a digital intermediate for editing and later distribution. Not only the few film imax ones. I wonder if anyone is still doing their editing on film, I highly doubt it.

Had the same issue. Try clearing the app data storage.
