YouTube's 160k Opus is actually pretty good.

If you don't need analog sticks, Retro-bit does replica Saturn controllers with a USB interface.

I think it's more that actively boycotting companies and their products causes stress that many don't want to bother with, especially when there's no practical alternative. Accepting the norms is less socially confrontational.

Musicians and engineers don't want their work 'modified' by the streaming service to make it louder.

Plastics can also be the cleanest solution if they are reused over and over.

Linux doesn't need Photoshop, it needs a GIMP on steroids.

Why should heterosexual/romantic relationships be promoted above all else?

That was after the Pentium Pro appeared. Before the Pentium Pro, MS wanted NT to be cross-platform just in case 'RISC' processors became big.

Why don't we just recognise territories by whomever happens to control them? Insisting on 'legitimate' states imposes politics onto world maps where it shouldn't be needed.

The web has never been particularly robust.

'Smart motorway' is an umbrella term for various traffic control schemes used on motorways since the 90s. The version deemed unsuitable is dynamic hard shoulder running (called 'managed motorway' at inception), first used on the M42 from 2006 on.

All new projects in England since 2013 have used All Lane Running (an alternative to widening, where the HS is permanently converted into a traffic lane). This format is not being killed off.

The A14 Huntingdon Bypass was supposed to open as a smart motorway (A14(M)) but the legislation hasn't passed soon enough, so it will open as an all-purpose road with motorway-style restrictions and smart tech.

Am I the only one who is obsessed with performing my life as if I could be a kind of prodigy someone might film a documentary around in many years time?

Socially it probably doesn't do me much good, but it's a side effect of being overly self-conscious.

Closest seems to be the X395.

The light distribution from old LPS/SOX fixtures was usually all over the shop. A crucial benefit with LEDs is that their output is much easier to control thanks to their small size, and accordingly most lanterns have 'cut-off' optics.

A lot of people don't intentionally, Echo's get bundled with some BT internet packages in the UK.

So as long as I'm using NewPipe without Gapps on my phone, I'm fine.

Therefore I got a 4K monitor at 24 inches so that it would be usable at 200% scaling. For 27-30 inches I would aim for 5K.

and Yahoo is just Bing nowadays.

When the iPhone came out is was supposed to be simpler to use then all the basic phones that came before it, I'm not sure that's still the case anymore.

People want the cheapest and easiest.

On an automatic 'table, maybe. On a manual 'table I find the styli too easy to damage with it is mishandled or falls off the edge of a record.

I mean most home users can't or won't bother wiring their devices to their router.

Music on YouTube is resampled to 48kHz for Opus. YouTube's resampler is probably optimised for speed over precision. Resampling to 48kHz before uploading can yield better results.

Trouble is that most streaming services, even YouTube, aren't low quality. Opus at about 160kb/s is more than sufficient for transparency.

Most home users don't get close to advertised speeds because of WiFi interference.

At least Seamonkey was somewhat well maintained for a while, for at least the first eight years of its existence.

I don't know about Fujitsu but Sun's SPARC designs were free from speculative execution until Oracle bought them.

Soraa.

The Socionext E-series Developerbox has open source firmware and is at least cheaper than the Raptor stuff.

The artwork makes me think of MIKA's 'Lollipop' mv.
