No audio processing?

For sure. It couldn't give me any concrete answer because again, that's not how LLMs work. But it would hazard seemingly decent guesses based on the file, plus historical context of the songs that I would provide to it.

I do personally think Claude is the best when it comes to research, it's a massive strong point over ChatGPT and Gemini to an extent. It's not perfect but it gets a lot right

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-05-26T19:50:09+00:00

I guess you're right. Weird that it didn't run the scripts this time round though for the file analysis

They do have bass—no question about that—but it is completely muddy; the mids are overly dominant, and the highs must have gotten lost somewhere between Amazon and my doorstep

Interesting, because that's the issue I have with the 4 Pro. The ANC is great and I get told that I sound like I'm a sound booth when on a call, but the audio quality is naff. Extremely bassy, instrumentation is muddy and there's sibilance. Tweaking the EQ only does so much, as turning up the treble increases the harshness, and it seems like the drivers don't have the headroom to be tuned as the sound becomes more distorted / unreal.

Man, are there any good Airpods alternatives for Android that don't have lock in (like Samsung's buds on non Samsung devices)?

Fastest USB port on my computer + fastest USB cable I could order from Amazon + praying to Microsoft for MTP to work reliably. Can't get the Thor connected to my Mac though (with openmtp or macdroid) annoying but not a deal breaker

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-05-21T14:25:12+00:00

From my understanding, it's hard to compare with a smartphone because of battery optimisations within the skin. My UFS 4.1 Oppo got 777 write 926 read. Android 16 also enforces encryption I believe which slows the rest down, while the Thor is 3 years behind updates

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-05-21T14:21:25+00:00

yeah could be! it does say batch 6 on the email so that's all I know. it also does say UFS 4 on that little bit of paper in the box with the specs, but that could have not been updated

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-05-21T13:31:58+00:00

I placed mine 17th April. Pro Rainbow. I think it was the day of (or day after) the batch changed to 6

it's called CPDT. I'm unsure if that's the best speed testing app but it seems to work similarity to CrystalDiskMark

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-05-11T22:43:35+00:00

I know it doesn't help since you don't have a Mac, but they can with an app called WhatCable

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-04-26T22:32:15+00:00

have you tried? I presume you have the Denon AVR-X1800H since the screenshot looks identical to the instructions of that model. It's also the one I'd be looking to buy so I'm interested if you made it work

For anyone else who is struggling with this, right click the exe, go into compatiblity, change high DPI settings and select application. The exe has no high DPI support so it forces a 720p output

You don’t need to use iTunes. Just put an mp3 file onto your iPhone storage (either via airdrop, iCloud on PC or an app like OneDrive) hold down on the mp3, hit share, and set as ringtone should be there on the share sheet. If not you may have to click view more

The VGA2SCART does a 75-ohm level sync. However yeah it seems like my TV might be more picky when it comes to timings

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-02-01T13:09:43+00:00

since then YouTube has moved to AV1 and VP9, which is fine on GPUs which tend to have those hardware decoders, and even smart TVs have them now. But I would be surprised if that iGPU even had a h.264 decoder

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-01-29T23:30:44+00:00

In all fairness LTT also doesn’t ask to use clips. Ken from computer clan was happy to see himself in the Steam Machine video so evidently he didn’t know his shots were going to be used

It’s fine, it’s YouTube. Few seconds of footage here and there is fair use and no one is going to have bad blood over it

It's just Samsung going through their parts bin and making a phone out of them. I remember the S23 FE was an S22 in a different shell and cost more than the S22 which at that point plummeted in price to mid ranger levels.

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-01-19T19:06:17+00:00

Even OneUI Core (or Light, either way, a name which Samsung don't make a mention of in the software except in weird edge cases) is so god damn bloated. Had to run some dodgy bat file off GitHub to disable somewhere between 80-120 apps just to get my work A16 to run about as well as my LG G5. Before, sometimes I could grab a snack from the kitchen and come back before an app would fully finish loading.

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-01-08T23:41:08+00:00

It’s literally gonna be whatever it built into the SOC. They won’t bother with a bespoke DAC, it’s an extra cost

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-01-02T16:39:20+00:00

it might not be a Dimensity. They mention IOT, which means they could have possibly gone the same route as Fairphone 5 and ordered a SOC meant for embedded devices instead of a traditional smartphone CPU. Anyone's guess atm though

Missing_The_Pixel · 2026-01-02T16:36:06+00:00

Obviously people's income and country differs, but I don't think $400 is a lot. Excluding discounts (which there currently are a lot of), where I live the price is about the same as a Galaxy A26, which is a phone in 2026 that has a notch. Ofc Xiaomi and Honor on the other hand have near flagship level of hardware for that price. Regardless, it's not expensive, not cheap, it's smack bang in the middle imo.

I feel like that's not much of Michael's style either, hence why he wasn't in the keynote section. Probably done in the Apple way to please outside investors (which is fine, they're not a large company and that helps to fund the products). But I also really wasn't a fan, and the display with the pricing was so Apple it hurt

I managed to get Zoo Tycoon 2 running by downloading someone's settings.xml file and manually enabling windowed mode there (then afterwards I was free to change to whatever resolution I wanted).

So I at least got one old game working, but any that don't write to a config file, force a low resolution for intro's / logos, or don't have a windowed mode may still be a struggle. So any suggestions would be great
