but sounds objectively better to my ears Subjectively. Objectively, there's no audible difference between lossy and lossless (at usual bitrates).

Few months ago it was possible to get Intel N100 (i5-6400 performance at much lower power) based mini PC with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD for 100-120 USD on sale. Unfortunately, 'rampoca…

Doesn't wet scanning "automatically" get rid of the dust and scratches issue?

Funny that they're marketing the supposed advantages of higher bitrates using pictures with altered contrast and saturation lol. I would expect the target audience to be somewhat a…

Piracy enables you to do things like debanding on playback, or more advanced video filtering to remove other compression issues.

Apparently this is due to signal integrity. AMD says swappable RAM is not possible. Source: LinusTechTips video.

Just be careful with that, measuring mains is a bad idea with most oscilloscopes. The ground pin is usually connected to mains earth, so if you're not careful, you might create a s…

In general, people have the wrong idea about how fuses work. They're not supposed to blow at their rated current, they're supposed to withstand it indefinitely , and only blow at m…

There's already software that does this: https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an Encoding this way should indeed improve quality slightly. Whether that is actually noticeable/measur…

It's gone from newer versions of Lineage, unfortunately. Right now the whole thing is basically forgotten.

Making good 'visual storytelling' films requires some real talent, a deep understanding of the strengths of the film as a medium, and a lot of resources. In comparison, a 'talking …

If we consider dithering cheating, then 10 bit without dither is also not enough for banding-free 4K, no matter the color space.

With proper dithering, I would guess even rec. 2020 would be doable.

">It may shock many VR game players that want 120+ degree FOVs, but SMTPE, which sets the recommendations for movie theaters, says the optimal viewing angle for HDTV is only 30°" T…

Nowadays most basic LED bulbs just put the LEDs in series to get the combined voltage drop close to the rectified and filtered mains voltage, and a linear regulator takes care of t…

If you're watching TV with shades open, you should adjust your gamma settings. The standard 2.2/2.4 gamma is meant for watching in a dark room.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure film has a higher dynamic range than digital SDR video? From a quick google search, 13 stops for film vs 6 stops for SDR. Obviously the…

Because LCD connectors require space. On phones where the bottom bezel is very small, the display is actually bent.

My 100$ phone from 2017 - Xiaomi Redmi 4X - had the same level of repairability: just unclip the back cover and you have access to internals. Replacing the battery was a matter of …

How about - hear me out - have an option to enable or disable it? Crazy idea, I know. (I'm not aiming that comment at you, but rather at developers making software less and less co…

Oh OK, so you're specifically talking about bitrate difference. I wouldn't agree that that 8x higher bitrate means the file is 8x more accurate, but I get your point now.

>your cd rips are 8-12x more accurate than anything streamed of Spotify? How did you calculate a factor by which lossless is better than lossy?

I've been staring at this post for a few minutes now, trying to figure out whether this was posted here to make fun of it, or as a genuine appreciation. Debanding has been a thing …
