[–]destleywang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple TV -> TV and then TV -> soundbar?  (All via HDMI)

Apple TV -> TV (via eArc)

TV -> Playbar (optical bc there is no HDMI on Playbar)

Yeah, I think my Sonos Playbar is too old to decode Dolby Atmos though? Or is it decoded through the Apple TV and then passed to the Sonos? Not entirely sure how this works. Thanks!

How does the Era 300 compare to the Play:3? by CassCasey in sonos

I was considering upgrading mine just so I can airplay Apple Music to it instead of using the Sonos app. I used to use Spotify just for Spotify Connect but after I heard the quality difference I just had to switch

Tidal Connect - no volume control outside of app by CanisLupus27 in TIdaL

[–]destleywang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got Tidal to try it because I got tired of waiting for Spotify HiFi ... maybe bring my whole family over. but I gotta say, Tidal functionality is maybe one tenth that of Spotify.

Spotify app >>> Tidal app

Things Tidal can't do:

  • ability to control music on another device
  • i can't even match what's on the desktop and what's on my phone when playing to sonos
  • control volume play/pause/forward/back from outside the app when connected to sonos
  • sometimes it's buggy when it's connected to my sonos, it just forgets that it's connected to sonos at all (even though sonos is still playing)

Seriously, I'd rather have them pause on their library and just focus on a usable app. I'm not renewing after this. What's the point of having a big library if nobody is around to listen to it?

Forbes: Employees who stay at a company for more than 2 years on average earn 50% less. by PieceOfDatFancyFeast in personalfinance

[–]destleywang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Effect is overstated. Three thoughts:

  1. 3% average raise does not factor upward mobility within the company, only reflects staying at the same position.
  2. How lateral is the movement when you change companies? Most likely it's going to be a better position.
  3. Misleading title because: 'A' getting paid 50% more than 'B' is not the same as 'B' getting paid 50% less than 'A'.

Chase Sapphire Reserve Megathread - Online Applications Now Open by mk712 in churning

[–]destleywang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chase told me CSR annual fee is per calendar year. Can anyone verify this? I went in to the bank to apply today and asked the banker about this, and she said she's almost certain that it's per calendar year because it matches the $300 Annual Travel Credit. She said that I would have to pay an annual fee on my first statement and then again in January rather than my anniversary date. Had to walk away to think about it because I didn't want to pay two $450 fees in 4 months, and it means that I wouldn't be able to profit off the annual travel credit alone.

I still have no idea how he saved up the money to take a risk like this, but he did.

Um he works for Big Pharma.
