Sounds like the gain is way different on your input.

Too high will cause increased levels of distortion

This is how you get 40k Orks

Voyager has a hide read posts button on the main feed page so easy to get too.

Use Pi-hole (pointing to non google dns or unbound) and a vpn

The computer reboots 16 times when you plug it in.

If you don’t mind trying something different then give the GameBall trackball a go.

It has a lot of features and smarts that are controlled via the firmware within the unit (and as such doesn’t require extra software). Plenty you can do with extra software (same as any other device but it works well with generic)

Alas I have but one upvote to give.

Thirded. It just works. Even deployed to elderly relatives with wifi printers with no issues.

Definitely needs some more testing as those numbers in the table look low to me. Archiving vs listening is a key point and storage is relatively cheap.

Listening on cheap Bluetooth headphones then you can get away with a low bitrate. If you are using better gear and/or music that has a lot of dynamic range and comes from strings (piano/classical/etc) then I would recommend 320 but your mileage may vary.

Listen, compare and decide. I have a library of about 110k tracks (musicbrainz-Picard is amazing) and I wish I had:

1. Focussed more on encoding albums rather than just songs and
2. Had 320 or flac

Well done. It’s a Lenovo issue. Had to do the same thing recently for a friends laptop and did the same dance.

I have some IT background so kind of knew what to look for but it still was a pita.

Used to use CoronaSDK a lot. There are still a million tutorials online and YouTube if people are interested.

Basically limited to your imagination

Depends on the boot.

The more expensive ones come with multiple air bladders and you inflate one the boot is strapped on. You can adjust where and how tight.

Any 10mm can lose itself already- we don’t technology for that.

I do. Every day. Decent headphones that block a lot of outside noise but don’t need a battery.

Constantly thankful that I don’t have to find a Bluetooth setup.

Contentious part is that I listen to high quality (generally lossless) ripped music. Bluetooth and some adapters do weird things with compression and you can really hear it.

Did you swap Word for Libre Office?

iOS Vinegar Tube Cleaner

I thought Nokia was dead after Microsoft gutted it.

Comes down to use case and what you prefer. On my Mac and iPhone I use vinegar all the time and it works great. Also means you can turn iphone screen off if you are just listening (save battery). Same YouTube account/subscriptions etc.

On my iPad when plugged into a tv I prefer invidious. I tend to watch long (6-8 hour streams) and It outputs at a native resolution to the tv and allows the screen to be off.

iOS also has Vinegar, an extension for Safari that is on the App Store. It will also work with Safari on M1/m2 Macs.
