oh neat they upgraded, it used to be 192kbps which is abysmal, they should have updated to at least 320 but whatever

Tidal’s entire library should be lossless unless you’re on the free ad tier. But the high quality should be 320? I don’t have a subscription anymore
Yea it was pretty recent, 2-3 months ago. I’m not sure if they’re done migrating replacing all of the MQA files though because even the Hi-Fi (below Master) would get a downsampled MQA instead of a FLAC. It should be HFLAC and FLAC now
Spotify is inching toward adding the level of personalisation that Google Play Music used to have and YT Music is still playing catch-up. GPM used to have playlists for location and time of day (Wednesday afternoon at home, or Friday night at work, Tuesday morning on the road, etc). I’m still salty they killed it. Unfortunately they all sound like trash if unless you’re listening to Bluetooth. The lossless files make a tiny difference on old car Bluetooth but not much, it’s a tad cleaner when it’s only being compressed once as opposed to twice. On wired headphones though it’s a night-and-day difference
Tidal dropped MQA a while ago they switched to hi-res FLAC. They sold MQA off to some Canadian company
Spotify and YT music have the two lowest bitrates at 192kbps for YT and 328kbps for Spotify so they both sound like garbage. I’ve never listened to music less than when I was using YT music. Bad personalized playlists, awful sound quality, it would mix in music videos and shit. I’d rather the radio at that point
Tidal sounds vastly better (1441kbps lossless CD quality at the same price) but their personalized playlists are quite lacking.
However… I’ve found Apple Music to be the best one. Its audio quality is even higher than Tidal, supporting not only lossless, but also high-res lossless (between 4608 and 9616 kbps… far above above CD quality, great for studio speakers.) Its recommendations are almost as good as Spotify too.
I don’t own any Apple hardware btw, the app works great on Android. The Windows app is “in preview” but it’s pretty stable and both of them support lossless audio (just don’t use the website to listen, that’s not lossless)
Edit: spelling and formatting looked okay on my tiny phone
Edit 2: I forgot to mention that both Spotify (and especially YT Music try as hard as possible to not pay artists. Tidal was known for paying artists really well until a year or two ago when new ownership changed things. Apple Music still pays pretty well (for a streaming service)
Edit 3: Tidal also has high-res lossless but the “Max” tier is twice the price
Anyone not using TOTP is a pretty light user security-wise.
Yes use Bitwarden for sure. Its open source and only $10 per year if you don’t want to self-host it. If you’re a really light user, you might even get away with the free account.
I’ll look into that, I watch most of my YT from either my phone or tv though
Silent Hill 2 has heavy and light attacks that are tied to the analog face buttons. You might be able to use a hold with digital mode but it would be slower
Voting this over Jellyfin. Plex actually has good apps for the end-users to stream from. Jellyfins apps are iffy at best and awful at worst
Technically you can, but anytime the shaders need to update it’ll download the full shader cache back to the boot drive so there’s a lot of back and forth
Yeah until you can’t fill up the SD because the boot drive is full of shaders.
256 GB deck should be the baseline tbh, even with an SD card
Steam Input will allow you to use a PS controller with any game (even ones that aren’t made for a controller!)
However, if you mean adaptive triggers, haptic, etc. Then this page is what you want. It’s a list of games with either native or modded support
