My favorite controller hahhaha

Where are you seeing anything saying that CD project red games won't be sold on the GOG store?

Is that not sorting by new?

Like a steinberger?

Yes, and CRTs as well.

I picked up a Roborock S5 vacuum and flashed valetudo onto it. It's so fun!

Weird, you're in the VAST minority it seems. I am ~60 hours in and have only seen one bug while playing online on someone else's game.

You should contact Larian support, it sounds like a problem unique to you.

I work in audio and had a thesis in DSP, so I'll try to explain this. It is an interesting idea, and in some cases could work, but wouldn't be practically useful in most.

So there's 2 types of audio encoding: Lossy and Lossless. All audio starts as lossless, and in many cases is converted to lossy to reduce the file size. The processing for this is NOT like compression, and is somewhat context aware in that it removes frequencies you wouldn't hear because something else is more present and causing your ear not to really hear it (this is called masking).

If you were to upscale something that is lossless, it would probably work. Barring any inter sample peaks, you'd be inferring additional points in a waveform and that's fine. They're actually some audio plugins that do this as an intermediate step when processing a signal.

If you try to upscale something that is lossy, you can't recreate what was removed, because there isn't a way to infer that information anymore. It would be like if you were trying to upscale a photo but you'd already removed a dog that was somewhat obscured by a man's hand. Even if you upscale the picture you can't add the dog without somebody telling you that it was there before removal.

The other part of the equation is "why?", and while I'm a bit of an audiophile and I have my collection of lossless audio, the limitations of the system are typically the human ear. CD quality, (16-bit at 44.1 Khz), is really all you'd ever need. Most people can't hear above 20 kilohertz (if you're over 18, you're lucky if you even get close to that). In digital audio, you can reproduce any frequency in equal to or less than half of the sample rate. With 44.1Khz, that frequency is 20,050hz. If you want to go really crazy, DVD quality (24 bit at 48Khz). I consider anything about that nice to have from a archival and measurement standpoint, but there's no point in terms of human listening.

What connector? I am writing from my ROG phone 6 and have no proprietary connector.

Your memory is in line with mine, I have no idea what pro-piracy things the previous commenter is referring to, but would like to read about it.

I'm on boost, I loved it for reddit, and now I get to enjoy it on Lemmy as well.

Speaker technology (at least for something "old school" like stereo) hasn't improved significantly for a very long time. That's not to say it's not good, we just figured out how to make a good speaker a long time ago.

DSP has improved since then but no amount of DSP will make regular speakers sound like great ones (like the nexus 6's) of the same size or type

Ahh got it. My search history says I read the follow up, but not the initial article.

That's ridiculous and unsettling, especially that they claimed it wasn't possible initially. I wonder if they were not aware that it was possible or whether they were lying. I'm not sure which one is worse.

I have a eufy doorbell cam, and I'm genuinely very happy with it. Since it's not actually looking into my home I'm less concerned about this particular security issue. I hope they do better moving forward.

Wasn't there a Shadow of the Colossus remaster a few years ago?

Technically this exists, right? It's just matrix with a bunch of bridges?

The app is closed source, deprived from element.

This will work, as long as you both have the same client version.

I have a slate (705S) and I love it. I have a wireguard server set up on an RPi at home and when I travel I plug in the slate, connect it to the hotel wifi (or Ethernet if I can), and flip the switch to turn on the VPN. All my traffic goes through my home connection, and I can still access my internal services.

I've even used it to save the day when an AirB&B's wifi was too weak for the living room smart tv to connect when the family wanted to watch a movie.

OPNSense is generally pretty easy, more powerful, and more open than pfsense. I started with pf but went to OPNSense and have loved it!

Some are harder as you go, but yeah nothing is too hard until the end of some storylines in act 3, which is of course what you would expect.

What other crpg style games have you played and enjoyed? I'm trying to figure out if I should play it or give something else a shot

That seems to just be a joke/rumor. There's no evidence that he would actually be going to Bungie.

I played through the whole game a couple months ago after only having the demo (and playing it dozens of times) in high school. Great game.

Why not?

I don't see any reason to believe that it would be different from the rockstar launcher. You can still buy rockstar games from steam.

Some of ASUS's phone have headphones jacks too, notably the ROG phone line (excluding the 3 IIRC)

I absolutely did! I was really hoping to teach a class about audio at a nearby university, but was told last minute that they can't give it to me for bureaucratic reasons. It's my dream to teach someday so I'm hopeful that I will find another University that will let me teach

Could you link the information about the "special patches to play leaked games"? That is not my memory at all.

I'm a pretty big fan, my last phone was an ROG Phone 2 and now I have an ROG phone 6. I stream a lot of PC games to my phone when I'm hanging out, so the triggers are really useful and I like having a headphone jack.

Could you include a picture of what the spatial audio settings look like? Most likely you can't have them both on at the same time because they do different things (spatializing a stereo stream vs binauralizing an object-based mix)

I've been getting used to lemmy for the last couple days, going back and forth between here and reddit and following what's going on, and I think I just realized something that I hadn't been able to put into words.

The lemmy community feels responsive and fun to talk to, and I think that's because the people who are coming here from reddit are the people who are motivated to communicate, and are people who care about the topics in each community. That's pretty cool.

Are you talking about the Plex app or Plexamp? I think Plexamp does have an EQ (and crossfading, but it's just a toggle), and the UI is fine for me.

I feel like that's like saying the MacBook air is more popular than the MacBook pro...

I thought the word faucet was both pulled and pronounced flaucet until I was 18. Nobody ever called me on it for some reason.

I chalk it up to dyslexia and the infrequency of encountering the word.

What are the bitrates, codec, and containers of those 2 files?

Not that controversial, I also didn't think act 3 was up to the par of 1 and 2.

I felt like the last 3 big decisions you make were pretty hard. I'm not sure how to do spoiler tags otherwise I'd be more specific

I was a teenage exocolonist. I hadn't even heard of it, but it's one of the best games I've played in the last 5 years.

Kind of a visual novel, card puzzler, and social sim. Like if persona had poker instead of turn based battles.

Apple Remote Desktop. Batch control of computers through SSH and VNC would be amazing.

I have thought about that, the issue is I'd need to re-run all but 1 of my Ethernet cables to a place where I can put the Celeron box. Once I start messing around with VLANs this is probably what I'll do, but it's going to be a big project.

I'm definitely going to give Adguard Home a shot.

Any thoughts on the best solution for now, basically putting the firewall in between the router and modem? If I plug it into a LAN port on the router and set up DHCP so it is the new gateway, that should work, right? I really wish I could plug it into the WAN port but I don't think DHCP will traverse the WAN to LAN ports on the router.

Does remmina let you send an ssh command to multiple computers at once? I use ARD for that almost exclusively.
