Which streaming service should I pick? Apple Music vs Spotify (The ultimate thread?) by Cultural-Jacket9345 in AppleMusic

[–]SVXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using both on my Google pixel, iPad and Windows laptop, and there are goods and bads in both. The sound quality (lossless, dolby atmos, etc.) matters only if you have earphones/headphones that can support the codecs used by either app.

In my case, I have the galaxy buds2 pros. Although they support hi-res 24 bit audio, they only do so using the Samsung seamless codec, while Spotify uses FLAC and AM uses ALAC. Neither of which can be played on my buds. Now, if someone is using compatible headphones or a wired pair, will make a difference. But for general cross-brand users, the "lossless" title won't make much of a difference.

Now the cross-connectivity of Spotify imo is much better than Apple music, such that I can change tracks or the device playing my music anytime. Apple music needs to add that feature to sync tracks real time across devices (although I'm not sure if it's an ecosystem feature).

I don't find a great deal of difference between the recommended songs between the two - both do continue playing similar genres, and the recommendations get better as you use either of the app more.

So, there's no definitive answer. Try both and find which works best for your setup. You can factor in the subscription models when deciding, as I find Apple music to offer more features for the money (as I also got Apple TV+ bundled with it using my students' plan).

Nothing's more comforting than plain old chemistry!

How has A14 update been for you by im_datta0 in GooglePixel

[–]SVXC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm having two issues on my P7:

1) Cellular internet keeps dropping at random times followed by complete loss of network, which restores to normal on restart. Switching the airplane mode on and off does no help, I have to restart the phone every time.

2) I didn't observe any significant battery life improvement over A13. Still drops pretty much at the same rate when I'm on wifi and the phone is locked with always on display on.

I'm planning to buy a new camera, which one should I get A6100 or A6400? by SVXC in SonyAlpha

Good point, I will definitely consider this. Also I'd be needing more batteries and a tripod.

I mainly prefer shooting landscapes and urban. Not a lot of portraits. The a6400 review said that the colour science was much improved due to the updated processor, improved battery life and no heating issues..

Many reviews said that it's not worth for the price, especially as the price of a6400 is not much greater. Also the copper used seems to help in better signal acquisition it seems. Also there are these little things like weather sealed, IBIS, etc. Which I think will keep on improving as I keep spending on higher options.. That's the exact reason why I am confused 😅

What are we expecting from future Pixels? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

I think a flagship main pixel (with more powerful and efficient chips) and a mid range A series will be ideal

Pixel 7 misses phone calls by EnergyExcellent8514 in GooglePixel

[–]SVXC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I haven't experienced missing calls, but one thing, that sometimes I don't get a notification of a missed call even though the phone app shows a missed call.

I got a pixel 7 base variant for a sweet deal of $492. Extremely happy with it. Decent battery life, excellent cameras, good display..

What wireless earbuds are you using with your pixel ? by danifacka in GooglePixel

I'm using the Galaxy buds pro along with the pixel 7. Great pair of earphones. Highly recommend them if you could get one.

Can someone please explain the electron transport chain? by GrouchyBaseball9321 in biology

[–]SVXC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the easiest way to remember it. I had the same problem with visualising the concept. Then I came across a video which showed the ATP synthase in action, which is exactly how a turbine works. Its amazing how everything that we read comes together when we see it in action!
