It’s almost like all these CEOs and MBAs are just shooting in the dark because of the $$$ in their eyes, but the fact remains that the market is no longer responding favorably to their absolute need for year-over-year growth.

Tell me you’ve never tried it without telling me you’ve never tried it.

Have you tried emulating it while interfacing with some ancient ISA card?

100% they will do this.

But I wonder if the effect will be different to now. I know Apple wants to retain the idea that their users are in an exclusive blue bubble group. But currently, green bubbles are associated with shitty looking images, video, etc, due to MMS. Especially for people that don’t know why files come through that way, green bubbles are always presented as inferior by virtue of actually being inferior.

But now, if they do keep the green bubs, they’ll just be green. Green at feature parity is different from green with clear differences.

The controller, yes. The display itself, no, as far as I can tell.

That brings it outside of the reasonable range for most people, I would think.

Am I right in suggesting that e-ink displays remain artificially overpriced because of the company that ultimately owns the patent?

I post this in offering to the internet gods, that this may be the first step which leads to an actually meaningful change.

I’ve been on Lemmy ever since the reddit API fracas. To date, I have not seen a reason to return. I have, however, seen many reasons to stay away.

Anyone have a list of legislators who are also investors in VPN companies?

I’ve just invented a way to never use a Roku product again, and I’ve chosen not to patent it.

The process is this:

1. Don’t buy anything from Roku anymore.

Buy

No

I know for a fact I would hear the difference – but primarily because of the imperfections in the vinyl, as well as the different bass response. I can rule out placebo.

Yes, totally agree. Vinyl rips still lack something. A lot of it is about practice, which makes it harder to quantify.

This is only new vinyl, right? In my town, used records are king, by far. In fact, I probably buy 10+ used records for every new record.

Higher audio quality than CD? No, that is demonstrably false.

More pleasant to listen to than CD or other digital formats? Yes, that I agree with. It’s entirely subjective, but I’m definitely not alone in the feeling. The fact it is hard to quantify is why lots of people don’t “get” vinyl until they’ve sat and heard it on a decent system. Something about it is pleasing. As another commenter mentioned, it might just be the imperfections.

So I guess it’s a bit of a philosophical question. If CDs technically sound better, but vinyl sounds more pleasing: does the vinyl then sound better? People tend to chase pleasure, and in the time it takes someone to explain how much lower the noise floor is on CD or how we can only perceive so many samples, etc, etc – you could have been chilling with multiple records and had a great listening experience.

Yeah like also, if you’re doing art for validation – you’re not doing art.

Some instances, like mine, do not require an email address to join .

So that leaves one option: it’s a moonshot project to convince the tech illiterate public to take them and their stock price to the moon

100% that. It’s even in the name.

People vastly overestimate the capabilities of AI, but perhaps worse, people are simply unaware of the limitations. The hype took over, but it is (slowly) coming down to realistic levels.

We also could use more public knowledge of the sheer amount of data and energy it takes to train these models which still, by definition, end up with limited scope. It’s actually incredibly wasteful.

Ouch. But yeah, I totally get it: if it’s still cheaper to just replace it a lot, that’s valid. Either people not buying it or people replacing it a lot (for free) should hypothetically have the same effect for Apple.

Edit: unless the cost of the Apple case up front is significantly higher than other options! In which case the math may not work out cleanly. And of course, the time taken for the warranty stuff = money.

Ok sure, I don’t disagree with that. Thanks for the honest answer.
