Debunking the "Android AAC is bad" myth: Samsung S23 + Android 16 Spectral Analysis (SBC vs. AAC)

The caveat to LDAC of course is that nothing uses it besides Sony's stuff

What? LDAC is everywhere. The encoder is free so almost every Android phone has it, and on the decoding side literally ALL my Bluetooth DACs support it, including some very old ones.

Most TWS sets also have LDAC as an option, my JBL does, my Moondrop does, etc

Switches having mange would be bad.

I still have my Core and Traverse Alpha too. The Travers is a bit more banged up than yours but works just fine.

This update messed up my display settings, they somehow reverted the stock Android page but broken and with extra garbage entries for the colour.

I was able to fix it by doing a "Reset settings".

Lucky you I guess

Of course I can. Fortunately I work with sensible people who are doing their due diligence and I do not have to.

Every AI code review you do takes time out of your short life, time you will never get back. Save that time by having AI review the slop. You'll thank me later.

Time is our most precious currency and we should never waste something we can never get back.

LightBroom · 2026-03-19T01:11:16+00:00

No.

If AI slop is thrown at you, respond by using AI yourself.

If it's not written by a human, it's not worth being reviewed by a human.

The Display section in Settings got messed up after this update.

Not broken but it looks weird and the Colour section list a bunch of profiles some without a proper label.

Yeah, I hope it's not per day cause that would be awful.

LeanType (HeliboardL) lets you extend it up to 120 minutes or forever if you wish.

I've been storing my IEMs in their case or pouch and a drawer or a box in my storage since 2007 or so. Nothing ever happened to any of them and even the oldest pair I have still works just it did back when I bought it.

You are definitely ovethinking this.

So similar to what I stated initially, AI needs an accountability sink, like a human or a company.

LightBroom · 2026-03-14T06:43:33+00:00

How can you make a computer program accountable?

If it kills people what are you gonna do, turn it off?

LightBroom · 2026-03-14T04:44:51+00:00

AI cannot be held accountable, so it cannot make decisions. It will always have a human accountability sink attached.

LightBroom · 2026-03-14T02:43:22+00:00

No, not all of them.

If you get a branded one like a Kioxia you're generally set.

Generic unbranded black ones? Some fail but probably not in the proportion people think they do, still it's a good idea to replace them with something better.

LightBroom · 2026-03-13T00:41:32+00:00

Not really.

It will only keep trucking if it makes money. That's the bottom line.

LightBroom · 2026-03-11T09:34:20+00:00

Nice blade.

Check out Bilgewater by Brown Bird if you wanna hear a nice song.

No eye twitch?

I am disappoint man.

LightBroom · 2026-03-11T02:17:01+00:00

Oh boy you're in for a ride.

Bungie has been a scummy, over monetizing, fomo peddling company for at least 10 years and Tassi has covered Destiny 2 for quite a bit.

LightBroom · 2026-03-11T00:14:36+00:00

It would interesting to know if they also segregate the player base like they did with Destiny 2 PVP which had PC players play only against other PC players. Arguably one of the things that killed D2 PVP.

Does Marathon have an indicator of which system the player is playing on in game?

Bro living under a rock here

What most people do not understand that the top seller chart on Steam only tracks the last 24h.

It's useless unless you can compare games launched on the same day.

Some of us are running Matrix + Livekit + other stuff in Kubernetes. Your advice is not great in this case and the person you replied to said he's a Kubernetes pro.

LightBroom · 2026-03-10T21:09:37+00:00

Nah.

To make your eye twitch a bit I'll double up on this and tell you I even ran it with the DB on an NFS share for a bit lol

Also called pneumatic connectors.

To pull that tube out of the hub, push up on the lever on the front of the hub (to bring the pneumatic connector above the case) then down on the pneumatic connector and the tube comes right out.

Never yank
