sbc can actually be fantastic, you just need a really high bitrate, and everyone usually does the minimum

smoky frigate
sbc can actually be fantastic, you just need a really high bitrate, and everyone...
yeah that's what I hear. I haven't heard of a way to set the bitrate yet, so you're kind of at the mercy of the developers
astral haven
yep
smoky frigate
in terms of battery consumption, high bitrate seems like a small price to pay with a piss easy codec
astral haven
yep
lowest battery consumption wireless codec im aware of is 24/48 lossless (yes including wireless transmission)
smoky frigate
I kinda thought so, I could tell a difference in run time when playing music on my phone speaker all day in mp3 vs AAC
astral haven
kleer for the win
smoky frigate
kinda makes you wonder about the merit of complex codecs in battery powered devices
astral haven
the real problem is interference and chip size
the complex codecs use smaller chips, and are less susceptible to interference
thick elk
Also wonder about opus which only google uses right now. the base codec is solid and open, wouldn't mind to have it as an option on more devices.
smoky frigate
that totally makes sense. high data throughput wireless is easily fucked

silk is good but its only better up to like 32k
satin is good to 256k, satin was the predecessor
teams uses 17k satin for teams and at that bitrate, opus is unrecognizable

the other day I ripped a bunch of albums from Spotify and discovered they use 160 kbps Vorbis (free account), which is a rare animal to spot

vorbis is competitve with sbc but less designed for wireless

and opus is just better than vorbis
smoky frigate
that's what I find weird about it. maybe they chose a format that's slightly crappy to sell more subscriptions
it's just FFMPEG encoded apparently, so no aotuv-tuned encoder either I guess (unless they merged them)

did you press ctrl F for left
because where does it check the left
hence its only checking the right

ashen spindle
oh hey I figured lanas code issue out by just googling it 
it's some 7 year old github example and the comment above the functions explains it
though I guess technically the comment in the code she posted with 1.2.1 also explains it
misty saffron
//1.2.1. We get the right subtree
myBinarySearchTree<T1, T2> r = this.my_right_tree();```i += 5; // we add 5
Recursion project that was completed for an assignment in Data Structures and Algorithms
probably was needed to comment them based on the task

i += 5; // we add 5

sometimes you gotta comment code so that the ai that comes along in the future will learn exactly what the english representation is for the code

well yuzu is dead and thats that. nothing really concerning imo
analog sinew
emudeck said that citra is also affected
umbral heron
In particular, we have been deeply disappointed when users have used our software to leak game content prior to its release and ruin the experience for legitimate purchasers and fans.
So it was about TotK in the end 
fair gull
general leaked content
and yes that plus offering more up to date builds than GH builds via the patreon paywall
so they basically offered piracy only patches and builds behind a paywall
at least from what i can gather now reading a few reports and such
also heard yuzu boasted about being able to run totk before release
which ofc means they supported piracy
umbral heron
I mean, you could compile it by yourself or use Pineapplea to access early builds for free, but yeah, Patreon had huge influence in this case
fair gull
imo they should have never accepted these patches before official game release and they should have not had a patreon to offer official early builds and such
severe phoenix
Thanks
analog sinew
citra was good, 3ds emus are a bit scuffed now
umbral heron
About yuzu running TotK before release, yuzu "officially" said they won't support running it before day 1
That is, unless you compiled a different branch with patch
fair gull
yes but mentioning it exists is already really attackable
cause it means they specifically accepted a patch solely for piracy
as you cant legitimately own it before release ofc

yeah they are booleans
why always so negative? make some yayleans for once

ashen spindle
hints like that should also mean either someone didn't use the coding guidelines or your ide is showing something as issue that isnt an issue
so idk why we care about it
fair gull
the expression expression == expression just becomes a bool itself so theres no need to essentially do bool == bool to get a single bool out
ashen spindle
those are not errors

pretty sure yellow is warning
ashen spindle
so disable those or just warnings in general while you arent looking at making it look proper
did you get the binary tree thing working? if not why care about how a bool check is put down that's just cosmetic

I have no clue what super efficient compressed audio format is in vogue these days, I know of like mp3, ogg, aac and that's it
I bet game engines use some propritary stuff a lot of the time
wheat plume
The game uses unity engine
And is definitely not a new game
Stated development around 2015-ish
frozen ingot
its probably just good music, if its a decent bitrate compression you shouldn't "hear" the format itself
wheat plume
I have the soundtrack on steam and FLAC format too and ofc it sounds amazing there too
I love how if you restart a level or you load into a level with the same background music as the one you loaded in from...it just keeps playing the music without interruption, even across the loading screen

I guess it works, but you probably should get it done eventually, if it doesn't bother you you could always wait till the warranty is close to ending
Then you just get a new battery at the same time
As they'll swap the whole device out
wheat plume
Then you just get a new battery at the same time
Huh??
unkempt lake
Well they probably won't repair your deck
Just check that you sent it in
Send you a new one
Which happens to have a new battery
unkempt lake
Then you tell them the replacement unit is faulty and send it back again xD
wheat plume
Aghh ... With how long shipping takes that could take almost a month one way
unkempt lake
They didn't fix it in the first place and by law you're guaranteed a fix
You could also be like fuck it and open that second unit
Add your own shielding
The chances of 2 defects in a row are pretty slim tho
Lets face it
What would be the odds
Especially later in the oled's lifecycle
wheat plume
True
But also the replacement could have dead pixels which is another issue with the OLED models

Manufacturers do small revisions/improvements in different batches
wheat plume
The news models don't have that issue?
unkempt lake
Not to my knowledge
wheat plume
Oh neat
unkempt lake
So that's why im thinking you don't need to worry
I mean generally new products always have a higher chance of manufacturing defects
If they've been out for some time manufacturing improves
Issues get flushed out
Mini revisions are made
Even without a product model number change

Also reddit and social media always represent a minority of cases

Also talking about gamersupps
I wanted to try ordering from em
Then i realized their pricing in canada... aint great
wheat plume
They say on the website that the free sample pack doesn't get a tracking code during shipping
unkempt lake
They don't make you pay taxes/duties meaning you have to pay them to the postal carrier
wheat plume
Interesting
unkempt lake
Who charges a fee to make em go through customs
It ends up being more expensive than gfuel even with coupons
Gfuel has the taxes/duties included
I can get 3 tubs of gfuel for the price of 2 gamersupps tubs

With the gfuel coupons

Direct from their website:
Our business is simple. We buy at bulk, which lets you buy in bulk. Enjoy more affordable prices now when there is no pesky toll fees to worry about (within EU+ UK) and no more huge shipping fees (free shipping over β¬80 within Europe).
The Gamerbulk warehouse is located in Gothenburg, Sweden which makes shipping faster than waiting on your package to fly over the Atlantic Ocean.

How'd they get away without imports to UK???

@karmic hedge with the ch341a you have to really be careful theres really shit ones out there and they all look the same. id rather get a more expensive programmer but you then can at least trust it
soldering related id always go with Hakko although i did use an ERSA RDS80 at my old workplace but never really liked it as much
with glasses for protecting from UV/Laser light id rather also invest into very well known brands that are trusted cause you only get 1 set of eyes. (unsure how important this is for UV or what brands are trusted/known)
id not use compressed air but an air compressor so theres no chance of additives coming out the can also means you dont constanty buy new cans.
theres a brand of solder that i really liked that i can also get the name of later as i still use it privatey. for external HDD connection id get a 2 bay adapter so you can easily copy drives to new ones if needed and only use 1 usb port.
also if you wanna work on computers you might wanna get the ifixit manta kit as it includes bigger bits and a bigger driver as well for case screws etc
multimeter should be one with nice long pointy probes otherwise youll just torture yourself
and for dritte hand soldering helpers theres also better than those cheap alligator clip bendy arms
old marlin
omnivise?
fair gull
for example
old marlin
idk if there is a more affordable option to the hakko ones
