I wonder if there's a good reason why Google doesn't offer a subscription option for YouTube alone? They tried it once (YouTube Red) some time ago & dropped it fairly quickly. Totally uninformed speculation: maybe they found t

Yes, I should have caveated that: 128kbit mp3 from a decent encoder is transparent to average listeners. To a “trained” ear that is listening out for the differences? Sure, those are perceptible. But those aren’t normal people.

Sure - these codecs lose information. The clue is in the name! The question is can you hear those differences, to which the answer is basically no, for a modern codec at high enough bitrate. "enough" is 128kbit or more in blind li

Are we talking mp3 or other codecs here? mp3 has a a couple of encoding ”tells” that a trained listener can pick up on (although it gets increasingly hard to do so beyond 128kbit IIRC). Other codecs don’t even have those & at higher bit

One of these requires having the spa challenge authentication method active, which concerns NTLM passwords. I’m going to guess that approximately zero currently running exim mailservers are using this authentication method. It’s not even me

It’s really important for industrial users & RPi has put a lot of focus on their commercial customers for some time now.

Jeff Geerling measured 1.8W idle power draw. Based on my experience with previous Pis, I bet you’ll be able to drop that even further by turning off unused board components at boot time.

That'll be peak power draw though: you have to spec the standard power supply to cope with the CPU running @ 100% & simultaneously feeding the 1G ethernet and all the USB ports at max power. Jeff Geerling measured 11W peak board po

Having spelunked through some Google announcements on this, it looks like they planned to do so back when Android 11 was in development ( https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/02/Android-11... ), but I can

Yes, and Google should be supporting these old devices as far as possible. Not doing so is a disservice to their customers frankly.

No, I’m saying it’s extremely frustrating that Google just drops security support entirely for devices like this, when they could continue to at least patch egregious platform bugs like this one, even if they can’t fix everything. It’s just

So there’s a webp system library as well as the one in Chrome? Nice of Google to drop security support for the Pixel 4a just before this bug drops.

So if your Android device is out of support, there’s now a 0-click exploit floating about in the wild? Or will updating the SMS App, Chrome, WhatsApp, Signal etc be sufficient to cover all the likely input routes?

Google fails pedestrians for the same reason it fails cyclists - it’s off road data is terrible & it’s not interested in fixing it. In large cities, the roads are the only routes, so pedestrians can go OK with GMaps. Anywhere else &

Google maps is still terrible for pedestrian / cycling use. OSM is much, much better but I guess Google refuses to pull OSM data because it would require them to open up their own maps.
