   4Mbps audio doesn't really make sense when you can just about perfectly replicate any human-audible sound in ~1.4Mbps EDIT: I do agree that lossless (or at least high bitrate modern lossy, like 256k Opus which is basically transparent)

   In Austin, I've parked in a handful of parking garages that require using an app. They have license plate recognition on entry and exit, and they mail you a nastygram if you enter/exit without linking a credit card to your plate o

   United's self service kiosks at some airports (e.g. AUS) no longer print boarding passes - they say that they're switching to only mobile boarding passes.

    I'm befuddled that Automattic is still investing in adding features (e.g. federation) to Tumblr. There's just about no chance of them actually making money from it, because its users are just about the most monetization-hostile us

    They have touchscreens now, so you can input text with an on-screen keyboard but do everything else with the controller.

    iDrive 7 (what you probably have in your 2021, and what I've had in 2022 and 2020 BMWs) is peak iDrive to me. The important stuff (climate control, volume, radio on/off) still has physical non-capacitive buttons, while the radio i

    Banking licenses are surely not an easy feat in America, but they are at least regularly issued. Not issuing any licenses for 150 years sounds quite crazy to my American ears, though as I understand it America is quite the outlier with thou

    Cloudflare Durable Objects have alarms you can use to imitate cron, and have storage built-in (there's even support for SQLite databases attached to DOs in beta)

    Works fine for me with no JavaScript, but if I open it in a private browsing window without LibreJS I get what you describe. Funny, usually it's the opposite!

    In my experience multi-channel AAC gets sent as multi-channel LPCM over HDMI, whether that be eARC or not. That's fine though, I don't really care what part of the chain does the AAC decoding because it has to be turned into LPCM

    I might tip a bike or computer shop for doing a superb job at repairs. Hell, if I were to hire a person to build a computer for me I might tip them if they did an exceptional job. Tips are for services (like a barber provides), not products
