Doesn’t matter that much for Blu-rays since they’re non-organic anyway. It mattered more for DVDs since they use organic dyes, but I couldn’t find any M-Disc DVDs in Poland.

Which brand do you use? Not a single Verbatim has ever failed me, neither DVD nor Blu-ray. I also use a full-size burner with 12V SATA-USB adapter, not those stupid “slim” ones.

If I wanted to watch movies destroyed by compression, I’d go streaming. Blu-ray allows for way less compression. There’s a reason Blu-ray remuxes aren’t DVD-sized. Heck, some movies don’t even fit on a single layer Blu-ray! Do you want to compress that to 4.7 GB? And that’s only main title, without extras!

Ah, so that’s what they use in a cremation chamber nowadays…

OPUS files

Ah yes, a man of culture

Screw MP3, Opus is better.

-f 140 is AAC, please don’t do that. -f 251 is better since it’s Opus, the best versatile lossy codec so far.

Is the last one an absolute requirement?

No, but it must match capacitive reader’s performance.

I’ve just checked the 2023 version of Moto G Stylus and… IPS? Seriously, Motorola? Sorry, devil wears Prada and flagships wear AMOLED.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that G Stylus isn’t supposed to be a flagship. Duh.

Thank you for suggesting something anyway. Guess I’ll stick to the Note 9 and keep fixing it until the world dies.

What do you need a touchscreen for? You just take an appropriate pump (E95, Diesel), fill the fuel and pay at the register.

Like if I didn’t have any mess in my bookmarks as well…

Apart from that, a tab open means a task to do. I can bookmark an interesting tab only if I’ve “been there” already, e.g. if I’ve already read an article cover to cover.

A fully enclosed velomobile would probably do the job, but I don’t think it’s legal anywhere in Europe :(

I’ve got a hard nut to crack as well, my Note 9 is peak Samsung and I can’t find a replacement that has stylus, 3.5 mm jack, microSD and capacitive fingerprint scanner (in-display ones suck, at least on A50 from my workplace).

My boss traded in a pixel 1

He probably didn’t realize having Pixel 1 means unlimited lifetime Google Photos backup in original quality… I bought a 50-60$ used one just for that purpose.

Samsung’s official service center refused to not wipe the phone after a screen replacement, because “procedures”. Paying extra wasn’t even an option! So I said “fuck them” and took my Note 9 to an independent repairman who did it at half the official price because he could separate broken glass from a working screen and replace just the former. I simply turned the phone off and trusted Samsung Secure Startup encryption before handing it over to the guy. That was the moment I thanked myself for turning on full-disk encryption.

Android should automatically clean these up afaik

NOOOOOOOOOO! DO NOT. EVEN. SUGGEST. THAT.
I’ve got hundreds of tabs opened, if Android cleaned them automatically it’d be like burning my own Library of Alexandria.

Intellectual “property” shouldn’t exist. The property system was designed to solve the scarcity of physical goods. Information doesn’t have this problem since it can be replicated forever as long as you have a medium to copy it to. That’s why you can’t own information. Once created, it lives its own life, whenever you like it or not.

SYM MaxSym 600i ABS, this 565cc maxi-scooter is the first to launch from a green light in cities and has nothing to be ashamed of on highways since it can do 160 kph with some spare power still remaining.

whether it’s worth the price

You don’t have to pay Google a penny. I bought a quite cheap (50-60$) used but working Pixel 1 XL specifically for unlimited lifetime full-quality Google Photos upload.

after the first few it was about 90 tabs of (teen) porn

I better hope you saved the links. Just asking for a friend.
