To be fair, It's more comparable to MP3 players in the 50 to 100 usd range. (See zishan, f.audio, hiby, shanling, fiio, xduoo) The difference is it is using open source hardware and software. Chinese MP3 players have little repairabili

Jpeg-XL is light enough to not require hardware support. Did you tried to transcode a PNG to avif? It's painful. Not the case with Jpeg XL. Meanwhile I urge you to read this article. Jpeg XL has way more features than avif. https:&#x2

Will it have an unlocked bootloader? sd card slot? Do you need an app to add book in the device? (sounds like it from the tech specs) Is it sweat/water resistant?

Mastodon is hard to use because people using social media don't expect to read anything before starting to use a service. TikTok, Instagram,etc really succeeded in frying people's brain over their addictive patterns. Just the idea

I could not make it work. Did you had to do anything special? From what I learned, only apps that target Android 12and above could have this background update feature. I'm on Android 13 but none of the apps I use updated. I had to swit

On iPhone you can use Orion browser, it has ublock origin and it's free. It's amazing. On Android there is mull or kiwi.

We need an alternative from Bandcamp that is a co-op fediverse kind of system. I know there is people working on making alternatives like ninaprotocol.com but it's tainted by web3/crypto selling the songs as collectibles NFTs. Not

Iirc, cjxl is smart enough to do it automatically. cjxl input.jpg output.jxl The cjxl --help and cjxl -v -v --help pages are very well done and you'll find the option to explicitly set the option on if you wish to do so.

From what I know the improvement is minor but noticable. There is less ghosting, a bit more contrast and it's more reactive to the touch. The newer models can even play videos half decently (i.e. you can somewhat understand what's

I use this as a docker instance running on my old laptop. It just took a minute to set up and works really well. The sync is as good as apple notes or whatever commercial software there is. Only issue is i could not sync with an old iphone

Even if JPEG-XL could be considered only 'marginally' better than JPEG, and as good or even worse than avif/webP in some specific context, it is unique in the fact that it can also do lossless, HDR, extremely high res, comple

It's not about the meaning, more about the vibe and how the vibe is delivered. Just read those tweets as you would read a collection of poems. While poetry more often try to give a feeling of beauty, dril tweets are mostly to make you

I really like it, it's fresh and friendly. it has a narrow option to have that compact spacing like iosevka which is my favorite. I can't use regular width font anymore after being use to narrow width.

webP and avif are basically video codecs that can eventually render a frame as a static image and are good at masking low res artifacts. On the other hand, JPEG XL is for static images only and is way better at rendering fine details. It ha

Totally anecdotal but it seems to me Europeans are more likely to use old tech than other countries at similar income level. So I know this looks weird for some Asian and north Americans, but it makes total sense for the rest of us. Phone

Active noise cancelling earphones. It's actually not a gimmick at all and perfectly safe and healthy. Passive earphones that have strong isolation like the Etymotics are just not comfortable for me and the isolation doesn't work a

Higher ppi help for rendering curved lines cleanly without jagged anti-aliasing. It's a known fact that typefaces that have curved, humane shapes are more legible. That is why it is bad practice to use something like futura for long te
