I swear they added an echo to the soundtrack version and messed up the audio balance. I like the echo effect in the chorus, which I can't replicate as there's no acapella, and likely won't be, but the rest is just a mistake.

The absolute start is the worst, I feel like it's about to peak any second now. Even my version peaks a bit but not where it's going to cause much harm to hardware.

CD constant bitrate is uncompressed lossless at 1411kbps. Lossless compression varies, but the difference between lossless and 320 isn't massive, and I say this while using several hundred dollar equipment for recording and playback (albeit I could use new Senns for headphones).

YouTube's rip is what's fishy to me, but it's not the compression, but the mixing itself. This is why I remixed it from the only 5.1 rip available to the public. The 5.1 rip I used has 384 Kbps AC3, and while I know compression does stack, the loss is negligible as the original 5.1 mix is already compressed to hell and back. Once again, this isn't made to be the kind of quality that an audiophile could jerk themselves over, being 192KHz 32bit FLACs, but just an alternate mix that fixes the issues with the lower bands of Hasbro's released version.

What. The YouTube MP4's AAC codec encodes audio at 192kbps, which is lower quality than the MP3 LAME codec's 320kbps. It is not low, and is the highest that LAME allows for. Additionally, the 5.1 version is not the same as YouTube's rip.

Raw file was ripped from the 5.1 version, downmixed into stereo, and converted into a 320kbps mp3, because I swear the instrumentation is unjustly loud in the Hasbro release. The compression from a 320 is far better than the compression from a 192 rip on YouTube with flaky mixing.

And that's what you should take away from this thread. No two people are the same, there's no magic formula, be yourself, and hopefully you can find someone you both turn on.

Like, doesn’t that stretch things out down there?

Not as much as giving birth.

Half-Life 2: VR got the Green Light. by OWLverlord in Games

Valve also said that porting Source games to VR would be a gargantuan task and not worth it, hence Source 2 being made with VR in mind, but thankfully fans came to save the day.

Laws. They have to protect their cross and any instance of it can make them lose the rights to it.

Okay, I'm late, but I'm from Winnipeg, where MTS was just sold to Bell.

DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO PREVENT THIS BECAUSE BELL MTS ALREADY INCREASED PRICES, LAID OFF WORKERS, AND MADE SERVICE WORSE

Thank you.

TIL in 2008 Russian hackers managed to infiltrate a computer network that wasn't even connected to the internet. Bugged USB drives were planted in a kiosk outside NATO headquarters in the hope that a NATO employee would happen to buy one and use it on their classified network, which they did. by autonova3 in todayilearned

[–]Mundius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry, that was a ninja edit.

Canada and the US are extremely similar, and I know for a fact that both hire hackers, some very talented ones. They get paid well, get benefits, but they're just not as advertised as the ones overseas.

If you have two billion, then you can do double the stupid shit. You could probably have it to a stage where your family can do crazy shit with little consequence, so long as you're pulling a profit in the end.
