  • IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default.

  • I think both work since opus is the codec but ogg is the container, but personally I’d probably go with .opus because it’s more descriptive.

    Btw Apple’s ALAC and AAC files are typically stored in an mp4 container but with the m4a extension to mark it as intended to be audio only (although it may have a video track, which usually is used for album art).

  • Yes they are no longer scared of the licensing enough most modern Apple devices do have at least some FLAC support.

    Also ALAC is a free and open source codec which also has wide support.

    And with a tool like FFMPEG you can easily convert between the two and they are both lossless so there is no data lost in the conversion.

    So really just use whichever you like it really doesn’t matter.

  • Apple made ALAC as an alternative to FLAC due to the dubious licensing around FLAC at the time.

  • Nvidia Sunshiners (game streaming), how are you getting it to work?

  • Sunshine captures the screen at whatever its native resolution is, and streams it to Moonlight at whatever resolution is requested by Moonlight.

    If you are trying to dynamically change the resolution things are rendered at, thats not going to be easy. Sunshine might not be the right tool.

  • I actually saw these comments before they were deleted.

    It was a post listing a bunch of resources for trans people to use to digital protect themselves in light of the election. One example is it suggested Matrix instead of Discord.

    On the list it included a couple trans-friendly Lemmy instances. IIRC the 3 instances listed were from blahaj.zone, lemmy.ml, and hexbear. A couple people commented that they liked the idea but didn’t like the inclusion of hexbear.

  • Upscaling really is black magic

  • DLSS is extremely noticeable to me at stronger levels. I usually turn it on but keep it set to “quality” instead of “performance”. It’s still slightly noticeable but not that bad at that setting.

    Stronger DLSS just looks like blurry mush to me.

  • I sometimes use VPN software like LogMeInHamachi or Tailscale to play Minecraft multiplayer with friends over the internet.

    Basically it makes your computers act as if they are on the same LAN. It should work for playing any game with LAN multiplayer support over the internet.

  • Here’s the paper no one read before declaring the demise of modern cryptography

    Jump

  • That’s a good point which is part of why there is a lot of active research into quantum networking. Once you can connect two otherwise independent quantum computers, you no longer have the issue of increasing crosstalk and other difficulties in producing larger individual quantum chips. Instead you can produce multiple copies of the same chip and connect them together.

  • Because the math checks out.

    For a high level description, QEC works a bit like this:

    10 qubits with a 1% error rate become 1 EC qubit with a 0.01% error rate.

    You can scale this in two ways. First, you can simply have more and more EC qubits working together. Second, you can near the error correcting codes.

    10 EC qubits with a 0.01% error rate become one double-EC qubit with a 0.0001% error rate.

    You can repeat this indefinitely. The math works out.

    The remaining difficulty is mass producing qubits with a sufficiently low error rate to get the EC party started.

    Meanwhile research on error correcting codes continues to try to find more efficient codes.
