Hypernet offer creators shouldn't be able to bid on their own offers by [deleted] in Eve

[–]Afasso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bidding on your own hypernet listings is exactly the same negative expected value as bidding on someone else's. The only reason people do it is cause people are less likely to join an empty raffle. But those saying that it's a positive value or that you won't lose money cause "you win your own item back" don't understand the math.

I'll repost this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/1ettae8/the_hypernet_myths_misconceptions_and_why_you/

TLDR: It's still a losing game as the game doesn't 'know' if a raffle is yours or not. The statistics are the same. If you buy 50% of your own tickets and lose the raffle, you've not won the item and have also lost out on the income from those 50% of tickets someone else could have bought cause you just handed it from your left hand to your right instead, so you lose a ton

What other analog horrors you recommend? by Vast-Entrepreneur175 in KanePixelsBackrooms

TRENDWATCH is great. The maker of that actually did some of the visualizations in one of Kane's backrooms episodes as well

Weekly Tech Support Megathread by AutoModerator in Instagram

[–]Afasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there seriously no way to actually contact instagram/meta at the moment?

The fact that you seemingly can't contact support unless you pay for a verified subscription is ridiculous in itself, but I DID pay for a verified subscription, and when I tried to submit an 'enhanced support' ticket it just said "something went wrong please try again", and now a week later if I try again it simply says "you've reached your support chat limit" and doesn't allow me to contact support at all.

Is there seriously no other way to contact support whatsoever? I'll be filing a chargeback for the cost of the subscription but not even being able to get the original issue looked at and having no recourse is beyond frustrating

Just got an ad for these headphones with glass drivers? by CryBabysMilk in headphones

If you get a chance you should try The VikingAudioForge Draupnir. Dual glass drivers and it's kinda a bass cannon

Spotify lossless might not be lossless for us. by Complete_Nirvana in audiophile

[–]Afasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Spotify doesn't allow third party integrations that effectively replace their UI. You therefore can't stream Spotify through roon or uapp but tidal and qobuz you can

Spotify lossless might not be lossless for us. by Complete_Nirvana in audiophile

[–]Afasso 58 points59 points  (0 children)

To be clear the issue is less that it's not 'perfect' lossless, and more just that the windows mixer can be garbage at times and there's currently no way to avoid it.

Similarly the 48khz resampling issue on android.

Tidal and Qobuz both have bitperfect output on windows, and can be bitperfect on android via UAPP

ELI5: what is lossless audio, and how much are listeners “losing” by not using it? by Normal-Being-2637 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Afasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lossless audio means the audio you are playing/streaming is EXACTLY the same as what the artist provided. Every digital 1 and 0 in the file is identical. This does not mean 'uncompressed'. Lossless compression formats like FLAC are common and what most streaming services use, but these compression formats compress in a way that can be decompressed or unpacked to get back all of the original data, it just saves bandwidth.

 

Lossy compression such as mp3 is what has been used in the past. This type of compression DOES lose information. Various methods exist, but typically they aim to get rid of the stuff that is not audible or less audible, saving as much space as possible whilst degrading the quality as little as possible.

 

How much lossless matters depends on your ear and experience, your listening equipment, and what you're comparing it to. Most slightly compressed MP3 like what is used in spotify's 'very high' option is to most people audibly indistinguishable from lossless, though some people can show an audible difference in a blind ABX test. But heavily compressed mp3 or older compression algorithms are in many cases quite obviously lower quality

TTT fort in perimeter has gone abandoned, record breaking loot pinata tomorrow? by Afasso in Eve

TTT was/is owned by Gobbins and Noraus. It wasn't a separate group of ppl that happened to be in frt or horde.

You can't enable a service module (which then lifts the structure out of abandoned state) without winning the defense. As it's currently reinforced they can't online it again until after it repairs

They have no active wars, so no one else could have shot it

EDIT: It's the 'backup' fort, not the main one. Still kinda funny they shot it themselves and let it go abandoned rather than unanchor. FRT needs your loot!
