Can't you accept that someone who knows what they're taking about might have a different opinion than you? Bluetooth bitrate is once again a non issue for most situations. Unless you're listening to lossless audio (e: or the headphones are stuck in headset mode) Bluetooth has a higher bitrate than what you're listening to. And I'd argue with most headphones you hit the limits of the hardware way before you hit any bitrate limitations still. (Edit: what I meant is, if the hardware is capable of delivering better sound quality than what standard codecs can support the manufacturer will then include higher quality codecs)

I didn't know streaming services didn't have audio latency settings, that doesn't sound ideal. Latency is very situational in how much it matters to different people with different content (game streaming is a thing) so I'd still not write bluetooth off, but if it does bother you do use wired headphones

Spot on

3%. Can't really find any higher. I haven't cared to investigate but there is a sweet spot in temperature and freshness that also massively changes the result

Either you never used a good wireless headphone or a bad wired one. Sure the best wired headphones might have higher quality than the best wireless ones but that's once again not something everyone will have lying around. In my personal experience every set of wired earbuds / headphones I've used (stuff my parents had lying around and ones bought for / gifted to me) sounded worse than all but one pair of wireless ones I've used.

Latency does not matter with audio and can be compensated for with video. Only place it would matter is gaming and even some of those might offer compensation options. Not to dismiss that it might be the decisive factor for some people but it hardly applies to everyone.

Na just meant that's a crazier taste than mine

You win

In my mouth

Why do these threads keep assuming everyone has high quality aux headphones lying around and nobody has wireless headphones, almost a decade after this trend started? Even assuming you don't have a prior investment in earphones, unless you're fine with the shitty bundled earbuds you need to buy new stuff regardless of the connection.

You too can get his by disabling history

It adds hdr support to vulkan drivers that don't have hdr support I think, it used to be a thing for all gpus but I assume nvidia's implementation is faulty somehow

Apparently hdr wsi is still required on nvidia, my problems went away once I enabled that

Nevermind, I just tried it with proton-em and remembered what happened last time. It can be turned on but it looks like a grayscale filter on the screen so it's better left off.

Also tried control with proton-em but the hdr looks super wrong on that game now but not sure if it is because proton em or if the new built in hdr setting is not as good as the hdr mod that I used to use

Edit: just tried with witcher 3 too, never tried it before but it is also desaturated, maybe a bit less than crysis tho. Also with hdr enabled framegen started artifacting like crazy

Edit 2: Oh shame on me, should've rtfm. It requires enabling hdr wsi on nvidia drivers. Everything works now

What game is it? Wanted to know because I'm having the same iszue with crysis 1 remaster

I don't think those two facts are related? Your isp doesn't need to connect to its servers from within your local network to track your internet usage. Something else in your network must be trying to connect to that domain

Next you'll tell me mainstream is not niche

Vr so weird to me, with every other kind of gadget there's a clear 'best' that has all the bells and whistles and a 'good enough' that has most. But with vr it seems there's no hierarchy, just a bunch of models with different and (imo) incomplete featuresets and nonsensical prices as if the tech is still brand new..

So hold on, they don't even know who 1215 of the victims were??

Oh fuck I couldn't math.. (40k-1.5k)/1.5k*285=7315 victims oh god

I've been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn't a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close.

Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it's worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago.

I don't use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason
