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, 'rampocalypse' happened.

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 affluent in the actual benefits? Then again, I wouldn&#

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

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 short and blow up your scope. If you have one of these b

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 much higher currents. Look up any datasheet from a

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/measurable... I'm not sure.

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 heads' movie can be made with a few acto

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.

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 the rest. This is cheaper and simpler than other methods ment

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 stock that was used for final delivery to theater

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 unscrewing the battery connector. How exactly is this new?

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 configurable)

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.

AFAIK, there's only one audio mix done with theaters in mind, and studios don't do separate mixes for home viewing. It's down to the distributor do make sure that the average home viewer gets a good experience. That's wh

Since YT is serving data as DASH, they're probably keeping all the tracks separate on their servers. Patching audio should be a matter of replacing all the audio tracks. It wouldn't even have to be remuxed. But yeah... That's
