He is a reverse midas. Turns gold into shit

it’s crazy that about 50% pays to watch ads.

I am not looking for anything specific since i am not planning to use it, the issues I pointed are deal breakers as I said.
Regarding the roadmap,I only expect them to share it. They have talked about their vision and desire to be self sustainable. It would show they have a clear plan even if it involves testing features.

I will never switch to something that only treats phones as “primary device” and adds extra hassle to support PC as a “secondary device”. I also find very concerning the lack of understanding of the value of anonimity even when communications are private, they even mock people that want privacy and anonimity.

another non-deal breaking but still telling issue is the lack of a clear roadmap for signal.

If you want android you’d normally go with a phone that is supported by the main contributors /maintainers. doesn’t even have to be made by google. but I think that was already pretty clear so you might just be a contrarian. please correct me if you actually had a point.

they had a chance but decided to self sabotage . they have no chance now that they are using android. who would pick them over the real version?

I call them peddlers

Unfortunately the fediverse is very appealing to doomers and people who are jealous of those who have more than them. you can see how some of them call for the assassination of wealthy people in other threads.

Unless you have no hobbies and no free time You can lead by example and show them.

I think they could have made it less clickbaity and more ojbective if they focused on the fact that the repair guy offers a better service since he will try to repair the components instead of just swapping them for new ones. in this case the official tech service wanted to replace all the components that showed damage. that’s not unreasonable. again they should have focused on the good parts of the third party service instead of trying to frame the official support as a scam.

They lost me as a user when they decided i wasn’t smart enough to manage my installed extensions so they effectively implemented a “time bomb” to disable them while promising that they would update the certificate before the current one expires. Well they didn’t and broke firefox Iirc it took them 1 or 2 days to fix the problem they created. I don’t have confidence in them after they messed up like that.

I was interested in this game until I learned it won’t have support for dlss

this should be in a politics or news group. it’s not related to technology any more than new woodworking tools with some minor technological improvement.

I have a better solution. If it’s too much work to list it then it’s not worth charging it.

I hope you are using a UPS or some form of offline storage if you really can’t afford to loose your data.

You also need some moral ground before you shame others. the verge does not have it.

I think this article covers it more succinctly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2%80%93Shannon_sampling_theorem
edit:
also relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-sigma_modulation#

the benefit of sampling above 20khz is that you can even out the signal over a period of time which will make it more accurate for frequencies up to 20khz. you will get a noisy signal but all the noise is in frequencies you can’t hear.

you also need to consider how the voltage is generated. in general there are limits regarding how quickly can voltage surge. e.g. you can’t reproduce a square wave properly in most cases after amplification. in the end this makes dsd much less relevant.

you also need to consider that the reproduction is not perfect and neither is the recording. e.g. a square wave will not be captured properly

edit: I forgot to mention that the slew rate limit has a parallel on the speaker/headphone membrane but it’s much worse than the amp since it’s a physical object with momentum.

unfortunately it could be worse with more invasive anti cheat software.

How gracious of them. I hope this gets banned quickly.
