I think that is preferred compared to the ludicrous amount of lobbyist money politicians receive for the corruption mess.

Even my super basic washer has a delayed start timer that solves that issue without wifi modules or whatever. Then again insurance doesn’t cover a water leak or oven fire if I run stuff when I’m away so I never do that.

Bluetooth and bluetooth audio are very different things. Bluetooth audio support seem rather weak and users seem to be using usb audio blootooth dongles created for pa4 and ps5 such as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MF5S5YX rather than a generic bluetooth transciever.

What little freebsd support for bluetooth audio there is seem to rely on specific audio backend software and since I’m assuming ps5 has surround sound, atmos and whatnot they probably threw that out of the window early on during development.

With that said sony has done plenty of graphical stuff on what I assume is their custom display driver suchas 3d, vrr, hdr. So them having plenty of custom modules on top of freebsd can’t really be an excuse so I’d just cook it down to sony priorities.

Also, fuck developing for bluetooth. Hate that janky specification…

Because bluetooth audio playback is part of the kernel and pulseaudio/pipewire (and more) and unless sony want to run those on the ps5 (which arguably would be a bad idea at this point) that’s not really a useful analogy.

A better question is why a dedicated gaming company like nintendo could at least get some audio working while ps5 made by a much bigger and more diverse company can’t.

Arguably it’s because ps5 is a home console and audio playback is the realm of the tv or receiver/soundbar in that setting and they are more concerned with showing ads and spying on you than basic functionality nowadays…

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.

Passport colour is only a recommendation anyway, Croatia apparently redesigned their passport when joining EU and maintained the blue colour. Was that an argument for brexit?

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.

You don’t get to pick the hour it’s scheduled for delivery? Or atleast am/pm/evening?

Drone strikes are the holy grail of the military-industrial complex. They are cheap to run meaning that the air force doesn’t have to give them a huge budget yet consume precision bombs and missiles at a steady rate meaning that the weapon industry get a secure revenue stream. And they can be scaled up almost infinitely since there is no bad news coverage of wounded veterans or crying widows on us television.

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.

I’ve lived in northern sweden and unlike americans we don’t haul appliances around daily. When I would buy one I hooked up my trailer, brought my old broken one to the recycling center and picked up my new from the store going home. Or pay for delivery and disposal if that was an option.

It would take the entire day due to the distance but that’s not really the fault of the trailer or the car.

“Oops” is already there.

With the strikes and every production on halt and needing to restart? Maybe early 2025 if we’re lucky. Earlier is possible I guess if the parts settle in the not too distant future and CBS put prio on SNW once things resume.

Isn’t it just a web app/electron on windows anyway? I’ve run a whatsapp “client” on linux for years without problems.

A booring feed is less likely to result in doom scrolling though.

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.

Sweden has kinda like that, they can still ask you but if you’re buying a cheap pizza, pay cash and if they don’t ask you can be pretty sure it’s tax fraud. I sometimes ask for a receipt in these places and the cashier will look mighty upset when he enter the transaction into the register.
