TK420 , to technology in Apple responds to the Beeper iMessage saga: ‘We took steps to protect our users’

I like how signal is multiplatform and actually encrypted.

It’s probably old people and not kids at this point, but easier to blame young people than the old.

Who the fuck buys things, adults, not kids.

Uhhh, I say ewww green bubbles all the time, except the rest of that thought is, “damn, they need signal”

Fuck SMS, and fuck Apple for fucking this up and not doig the right thing.

The homies are all on Signal now, everyone else is on iMessage. It’s been a struggle, but we are getting there.

TK420 , to technology in Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family

I can hear a difference between some of my old MP3’s and lossless, but no difference between lossless formats.

I used to fight the uphill battle against iTunes and my music. For home listening I had it all as Flac, because Flac, but for mobile I could then swap Flac for Apple Lossless kinda easy. iTunes would not recognize Flac files natively years ago (probably meow, but I don’t know).

Once Plex became my [media project] life, I didn’t want to fuck with all of that [converting CDs mentioned before] and just stuck with wav files. The OG so to speak and I’m pretty happy I’m not re-ripping music anymore. Now, new music, yes those eBay purchases get washed, ripped and stored in a binder, which is so much fun.

Do I hear a difference, maybe. What I do know is my quality issue is once it goes out of my phone via Bluetooth to my headphones. I hope one day that’s not the bottleneck. Could already be there I just don’t know.

No, quality is a thing which is why I’m using wav files. Audio files are tiny compared to video files. I’m approaching 1TB of music, where my video library is much larger, approaching a factor of 10 times as large….and also compressed. I’m not ripping my CD library in its entirety over again. I did various mp3 versions over the years and am done doing that to a different format again.

I’m always getting media in a number of ways. Source rips and downloads are the best vs what’s available to the general public. I’m ok with what I’ve got going on.

Yeah I store the CDs raw. I have enough storage on my phone that I can load up from PlexAmp. I do a lot of offline listening so I love the download options and I usually stream my whole library from my server over WiFi.

I have a good amount of video downloaded in the main Plex app, workout vids, a few movies and whatever series I’m watching. All works out pretty well.

CDs are ripped bit for bit into wav files

DVDs have subtitles retained but I don’t compress after MakeMKV.

BDs have subtitles retained but then I run through handbrake and do h265 compression, keep it all as mkv files.
