Yes, but that has its limitations to my knowledge. One of them is streams will be at a lower 720p. To tinker around it will work, but it will not be a fire and forget solution

He is a supply chain guy. He did a tremendous job on making sure you need for every single thing on an apple device either an adapter or a repair that cost more than the device itself. Since Tim took over, the only noticable succeful disruption from a technological perspective is Apples M silicon. The rest is old wine in new bottles. For the rest its upselling and people that are crazy enough to put 1200 dollar/euro down for a phone or an 8gbyte RAM Mac. And to be straight, I have no problems with that. But there might be a time where Apple ends up in that same corner.
As much as I am an AMD fanboy, we need Intel in this game or AMD will turn into Intel from a few years ago.
This happens when a MBA CEO ran an engineering company. Where did we hear that before?.. Something something Boeing.
You don’t get the most valuable company by selling a SSD. So, yeah a new Mac of course.
Opens chrome on a 8GB Mac. Sees lifespan of SSD being reduced by 50%. After 2-3 years of heavy usage SSD starts to get errors. Apple solution: buy a new one. No wonder they are 2nd/3rd wealthiest company on the planet.
Well I will sound like an old bore but throughout the nearly 20 years Firefox is out I never looked at anything else. Seen the rise and fall of Internet Explorer seeing the rise and fall of chrome.
Even Firefox in its dreadfully slow era (2010-2016) it did not made me change. And let me be clear Firefox is far from perfect. But for my use cases (privacy and security balance over certain conveniences) I would not change for any commercially backed Browser.
Moral of the story. It’s better to donate to Mozilla and enjoy the freedom of your browser than giving yourself in on the erratic behavior of the big tech companies.
You gotta be a special kind of sad to DDoS archive.org…
The fact that a single company is higher valued than the entire car market should ring all alarm bells. Because afaik is Mercedes already ahead of Tesla in regarding (autonomous) self driving. But don’t quote me on it.
Waiting for tsla stock to go up now…
It’s clear this is a long in advanced supply chain attack. So this is for sure not a lone wolf thing. Parts of it were very thought through but just came comically to light.
Yes history shown the US has been doing naughty things revealed by Snowden but we can’t come to conclusions yet, since nothing is yet been proven (if it ever will be). Long story short blaming somebody (regardless who) makes no sense at this moment.
You have any source for this or is this your (robotic) trolling (algorithmic) opinion ?
For sure. It’s basically a NAS software appliance. You just need to bring your own x86 hardware. Truenas core was good, but they will stop actively developing soon in favor for scale.
I have it running both hardware (backup) as well as virtualized (with a special sas/sata card as PCI pass thru). Works like a charm.
Not to mention the sheer amount of security vulnerabilities they constantly have in their products. I never recommend QNAP for that reason. Out of the box solutions I only recommend Synology. Selfbuild route is uraid and my personal fav. Truenas scale.
I partially agree with you. Yes mixing and mastering is far more important than bitrate. However if I let my gf listen to a identical song both in normal 16/44khz and 24 bit version, she can hear difference. Now is it night and day ? Not always, but subtle Improvement can matter when enjoying music.
Actually this is a good deal. Curation on tidal is good, meaning they have cool playlists handpicked by people. In the past when I used it it was with questionable MQA encoding, which had a lot of controversy. But 24/192khz flac, If you care about audio quality is a better offer than Qobuz.
Can’t go wrong for the price. But I think the main driver should be audio quality. Because FLAC files (esp 24/192khz) can be very data hungry, for those who use it mobile only. So you need to be careful with that. You can use lower sample rates and higher bitrate mp3 as well if my memory serves well. But that defeats a bit the purpose of what Tidal stands for
Qobuz
EDIT: this is when you have audio quality preferences and currating like Tidal does. But in the end it’s a matter of taste. Platform A has sometimes songs and albums that platform B does not have and vice versa.
But for your decision making, you can’t go wrong with Tidal. If you have a good dac/hifi installation, you may want to opt for hifi plus. But the lossless plain hifi subscription is perfect if you are not super sound picky and not having a above decent installation.
EDIT EDIT:
They are merging hifi and hifi plus to a 10.99 offering. That is actually very good value if you don’t care about the DJ part. I am even considering this to ditch my Qobuz sub.
Haha ignore this post
And who will code the code for ML/AI models ? I mean for Jr. Developers this is going to be a better way to learn than "did you Google it? " And maybe have precise answers to your questions. But it sounds more to me like “maybe you should buy more of our silicon”.
Sounds a bit like “640kb is more than enough” oneliner. But let’s see what it will bring.
Corporate socialism.
Take a look at netbird or tailscale
