I have done research into what product i should buy three times and i am still not sure enough to answer this. That says enough about how confusing the modern tech market is.

They are definitly proprietary and a competitor to LDAC from sony. Finding something that supports both sennheiser and sony headsets without being overpriced is a nightmare.

The renaming while still selling it with older packaging for years has been angering me since it happend.

Honestly it would not be so much of a problem if things where actually labeled appropriately with all the actual specs and support features on the package but its more profitable to keep you guessing (and going for the higher priced one just in case)

They do the same thing with Bluetooth audio transmission usb, their “high quality audio” and “ps5 compatible” but does not tell me wether it supports aptx or not?

Also the whole “buy a product clearly pictured with usb A type connector, receive a usb C type connector variant, if lucky, with an added adapter.

I will approximately upvote this in an almost festive fashion!

I think a field sobriety test usually involves more then one test, at least if you can communicate a reasonable reason why you may fail one.

I believe they may also just look at your behaviour during the interaction.

“Couldn’t walk a straight line but mentioned a recent leg surgery”

Vs

“Couldn’t walk a straight line but believed they did, started an argument about it. Failed secondary test while continuing to insist they passed the first test”

I wish more projects did stuff like this.

It just feels silly and unprofessional while being seriously useful. Exactly my flavour of software, makes the web feel less corporate.

There are custom themes out there that change the interface.

Right click -> identify-> Title name, has yet to fail me.

Its been a long time since i used plex so I can’t say how much “easier” its over there but compared to the days before streaming this little upfront work takes less time then going to a physical store to rent.

Maintenance takes no work and it cant be enshitificated (someone will just port it)

Besides tor, known any other alternatives?

You become god.

(Not oc, this is a known joke)

The power to reply to my own comment.

I saw a gif about some cool hyprland dotfiles and i fell in love.

Instructions said it was designed for arch.

There are many more other reasons i stayed. Its great to actually feel in charge of my system.

Debian/ubuntu has its uses in server reliability but its missing snap for daily use.

Fedora is to close to corporate for my personal interest.

Just general command key for shortcuts?

It is probably my most pressed button because of this, also i changed the keycap to eye of horus.

There is some nuance to what exactly is banned.

I self host a vpn at my home that i use to connect to my home network on the go. This is a super common use-case and also cant be used to circumvent regional blocks.

Work also uses a vpn to securely tunnel company hardware to our servers.

A blanket ban on vpn software and technology would be ridiculously dumb. Almost as bad as blanket ban on encryption.

If they make exceptions and only ban vpn with intention to hide and circumvent the law, then you only need some legal excuse if someone comes asking and its more a morality guideline then a criminal law.

If they blanket ban “vpn technology” i would simply suggest ignoring it. Laws that stupid are too incompetent to take seriously. I recon its completely unenforceable.

Either way you’re unlikely to be investigated unless the government already has a reason to investigate you. In which case you’re probably fucked no matter how secure your internet.

Sucks that this has been your experience and admitted it does take a bit of work to set it up nicely.

The documentation of how artwork is detected and ways to fetch it automatically from online sources you can find here

The multiple profiles thing happens Because Navidrome is very tag dependent to understand music. I have a few collections where the band slightly evolved their name/spelling where this happened.

The difference between “artist/albumartist” and the “compilation” tag need to be set correctly and uniformly for that to be fixed, which depending on the source can take some work.

My own strategy is to start with a small server And gradually expand it. Make sure the tags are ok, the art is correctly named in the right spot.

I still have a lot of music i haven’t processed

For the music that did get processed, things are stable and reliable as rock, require no maintenance and performs very well.

The removed albums thing Is a weird one though, using the full rescan off all files and data button I have never experienced this.

Thats a super weird question but yes there is someone named Ariana i encountered online this year who I would not be surprised to be a Linux user.

Depends what you consider the baseline to call something “coding”

Plenty of kids dabble with Redstone in Minecraft, there is also stuff like this:

Then not what I said,

Neither do you as a private citizen qualify to be held to a higher standard like the real world examples I gave.

If they are truly so much safer, one could say they have much higher standards for drive safety.

If they have a much higher standards then the times they do fail, it’s reasonable the fine should be multiplied a few times.

There are some current examples where commercial higher standards lead to bigger penalties.

Bar owners can be criminally charged for over serving alcohol to drunk clients. Citizen hosts don’t face that same legal responsibility.

Similar with Financial advisors vs your crypto uncle.

They 100% can verify a linked Minecraft account and transfer it, or provide a new key.

They just won’t.

I also bet if the US intelligence agencies ask those engineers suddenly have ways to help. Microsoft holds the keys.

Immich for photo server ;)

If you are willing to curate your own collection and have a little techical knowhow:

You can set up a Navidrome server and enjoy high quality music streaming with no subscription costs
