You might be better off waiting for a steam deck 2, possibly out next year?
Just a stranger trying things.

Exactly, this is about compression. Just imagine a full HD image, 1920x1080, with 8 bits of colors for each of the 3 RGB channels. That would lead to 1920x1080x8x3 = 49 766 400 bits, or roughly 50Mb (or roughly 6MB). This is uncompressed. Now imagine a video, at 24 frames per second (typical for movies), that’s almost 1200 Mb/second. For a 1h30 movie, that would be an immense amount of storage, just compute it :)
To solve this, movies are compressed (encoded). There are two types, lossless (where the information is exact and no quality loss is resulted) and lossy (where quality is degraded). It is common to use lossy compression because it is what leads to the most storage savings. For a given compression algorithms, the less bandwidth you allow the algorithm, the more it has to sacrifice video quality to meet your requirements. And this is what bitrate is referring to.
Of note: different compression algorithms are more or less effective at storing data within the same file size. AV1 for instance, will allow for significantly higher video quality than h264, at the same file size (or bitrate).
To be fair, resolution is not enough to measure quality. The bitrate plays a huge role. You can have a high resolution video looking worse than a lower resolution one if the lower one has a higher bitrate. In general, many videos online claim to be 1080p but still look like garbage because of the low bitrate (e.g. like on YouTube or so). If you go for a high bitrate video, you should be able to tell pretty easily, the hair, the fabric, the skin details, the grass, everything can be noticeably sharper and crisper.
Edit: so yeah, I agree with you, because often they are both of low bitrate…
I’m surprised, if I recall, all but one LCD model were to be phased out in November, or at least that’s what they said when they announced the OLED version. Were the supplies that large?
I think that’s what we see with apple silicon, right?
Title mixed up Wayland and Nvidia :) I don’t think you typically get a new GPU assigned on the fly as you select one window manager over another :D
ChatGPT is already free, even GPT-4o since recently.
Granted, you do need an account which requires a phone number, but there are no financial costs.
This is so ridiculous. There is a lot of actually creepy spyware (see Microsoft’s recall) and this is what he gets upset about? Pathetic.
If it improves video calls and regular calls, why not? I can definitely see room for improvement in audio quality when calling and would be happy to have a better experience.
Yes, actually it can be quite straightforward. What you are probably best off doing is requesting a google takeout and upload that takeout to Ente directly. I have not followed this process myself so I can’t say much about it but it is described here and is probably the easiest way to migrate:
I’m a customer and have moved over multiple family members, everyone seems happy. Their face recognition and smart search are still WIP, but they are impressively present, despite being all E2EE, by leveraging local processing. They are making very good progress.
Good luck on your defense! Goodspeed
I’m sorry, I don’t have any specific suggestions for you, but I am wondering: is there no open source app you yourself wish existed because you would need it?
Working on an open source app because some else (and not you) needs it, is not a good way of staying engaged and caring about the solution. Being the user and target of a project yourself is usually a much netter way of caring and proposing something tailored to at least one individual, maybe more.
Of course, if you are looking for a programming exercise, go for it, but then you don’t need ideas, you can reimplement something which already exists, perhaps which you like, but in your own way. But if you want to have an impact in the open source, it starts by needing something which you don’t really find anywhere and taking matter in your own hands to fix it :) this is not meant to disincentivize you, quite the opposite! I hope you stay attentive to your digital ecosystem to see which holes can be plugged :)
I maintain a private list of ideas I just think of as I go about my day, of things I would like to write/create for myself and while I won’t be going through with all of them, I hope to be able to pick up one or several of them whenever I have time. I can through some ideas here, not as a hint that you should do it (I’ll probably do them myself regardless), but just to inspire you, maybe:
I have a few more, but this should give you some hints, I hope! Good luck!
I have had my SD for a few months now and I have only one bug which seems to be recurring: When I resume a game from sleep, occasionally (rarely), the game runs fine but the audio is sped up. It’s a bit weird. It usually solves itself while gaming in the following minutes but it’s unclear to me what causes it and what solves it. It happens in GTA IV, GTA V and the Witcher 3, but it’s hard to say if it’s only on these games or if it’s on these games because I’ve played them a lot. Anyone else experiencing this bug? It might happen every 50 resume from sleep? Not sure…
You’re putting a very large amount of trust on something which may simply require the flip of a switch to add the specified information to be sent back to Google along with all the regular heavy telemetry already feeding back…
Perhaps, but this is unrelated. The magnetic charges may still be there, but if the reference to the content is deleted, how is the filesystem meant to know what file is there? This seems really suspicious to me.
How much responsibility would a service like Signal have, if they were to inadvertently host a private group for pirated content? I believe signal groups can have up to 1000 members, and these members can be pretty anonymous given the need to only share an ephemeral username which can not be linked to a phone number or any other identity? Can they claim plausible deniability and not do anything?
Is that the limiting factor for the UI responsiveness? Or are you talking about the fact that the parsing and metadata querying takes days?
Have you just installed jellyfin? The scraping for metadata for me took days literally. And the difficult time is that during the scraping, the interface is very slow.
You can monitor the scraping/parsing progress in settings > dashboard > libraries. The libraries have a sort of circular progress bar with a percentage symbol (only visible in this view) when parsing is ongoing.
My number one gripe with organic maps is how fragile the search is. If you don’t write it exactly right, you get no or irrelevant results. Also, it seems to have no clue of what is popular and what people expect when they search for something. I’m not talking about personalized results but for example the following: searching for “Eiffel”, leads me to minor roads, restaurants and all kinds of results unrelated to the Eiffel tower. This is what is troubling me the most.
