…an enthusiast device that isn’t Snapdragon?

What a bad idea

I live life to the fullest by driving my family around in the backseat of my Prius, and not being skinned alive by road rash. You live life to the fullest by praying there isn’t sand on the next exit ramp.

We are not the same.

Federally, ship has already sailed. I’ll still vote for the lesser evil on local matters, as I like school funding

I bet this is for compression for mobile networks. Saw those pictures on a phone screen and they looked fine. Plus, webcams just look like shit. Even if your Pixel 8 Pro is compressed as fuck, it’s still gonna look better than most people’s webcam.

100 isn’t enough to really be worth anything too serious. The smart thing to do is either save it for something bigger or just have fun with it. Best way I spent 100 as a kid was on pizza and shit for me and my friends. A Minecraft server and some pizza is like 30 bucks, provides hours of fun

Buy a copy of Minecraft, best purchase I ever made

Huawei keeps on winning

Y’all are ignoring what this actually is - an app for EVERY video platform. Also, restrictive license is fine as long as the source code is available. Rossman explains this is to keep people from just forking and making scam versions of the app like NewPipe sees.

I mean they do have Android drivers for Exynos now, but if normal devs are still working around snapdragon the effects will still be felt. For all the pull Samsung has, Snapdragon has a much bigger market share.

Pretty much all Android drivers are for snapdragon. Not just using a snapdragon is pretty much asking for a bad time.

I was on Tidal forever ago. To answer the most important question, no the higher quality audio files aren’t total snake oil. Certain offerings definitely sound better. Amazon Music generally offers higher sound quality though. Tidal also do pay artists better, but Napster is the best about payment if I’m not mistaken (ironic as fuck).

As for the app though… It’s been a few years, but this is where everything that offers sound quality goes to shit. The desktop player was ass and the website was ass. It didn’t know how to handle Last.fm and other things I’d consider basics for Audiophiles. Amazon Music’s UI was even worse, I cancelled it after 2 days.

Spotify has the best value proposition. Hulu+Spotify for 10 bucks is good. I also question how long Tidal will be able to continue existing.

I’ve had my 6t for 5 years at this point and had no idea this existed

That’s a thinker

Don’t have the link, but it’s made by DB0

Yeah, however I think this is one of those things that should be a stock feature. Most people who use webcams aren’t tech people and want a plug and play experience. It isn’t particularly hard to implement and helps Android stay competitive with Apple’s user experience.

Some, yes, but many of the things that Europeans go “whoa how could they have possibly done that” (waterworks, roads, pyramids) when the Romans or people adjacent to the Romans were able to do it 1000+ years earlier. Not trying to do the whole “primitive” bit, more just saying that a lot of the shit white people say was “impossible” from brown people of their era was achieved by people they considered white thousands of years earlier. Logically speaking, there is no reason that indigenous people wouldn’t have been able to figure out many of the things white people credit to aliens.

Lol this is funny. I wouldn’t really call it much of a war, it’s Apple holding back easily implemented features to cater to elitism. Would platforms like WhatsApp have taken over so heavily if basic texting was actually good enough?

Wonder if Valve has something going with Lenovo to make a version of Steam OS for the Legion Go. Easily the coolest looking steam deck competitor right now, but the one windows is kinda brutal

White people making innovations in Rome: Geniuses

Brown people make pretty much the same innovations hundreds of years later: Aliens

If we made a big enough boost midsole, would a horse find it as comfortable as a human?
