  • Should I switch to Qobuz or Tidal for music streaming?

    Jump

  • I've been testing out Qobuz recently since I'm in a similar ditching-Spotify place in my life. Honestly I think it's a great alternative. Sound quality is great and it has the multi device sync/status like Spotify.

    I don't know what that feature is actually called but the feature where you can have a song playing in the app on your phone, open the app on a different device like your tablet, and it will show the "now playing" in the minimized player along with the name of your phone that it's playing (and you can swap it to play immediately on the tablet now instead). That feature in Spotify was a big one for me. Love that Qobuz has it.

    I'm still building my listening history so I can't comment on how good the recommendations will be. But the suggestions I've gotten in the last few weeks were spot on.

    Not sure what people are talking about with the app ui. It's a good app. Maybe it was bad in the past and they have made improvements? But coming from Spotify I think you'd have no issues using it.

    Give the free trial a shot.

  • Blu-ray hits 20 years old, and it isn't dead yet — optical disc format was introduced to the public at CES 2006

  • Most people didn't have tvs with 1080p resolutions when blurays came out. It was all SD, and so dvds ruled the market.

    Once HD tvs were common, streaming was now the common medium. And streaming looked better than the standard def dvds.

    Blurays will stay niche on comparison for sure, but I can't imagine anyone who is watching a dvd on a large HD (let alone 4k) TV is going to think the DVD looks good.

  • What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?

    Jump

  • Thanks for this!

    Where the heck is this advanced page linked to? Maybe it's not shown by default on mobile, but there is no advanced menu section or button in the settings page for me when I view it on my phone.

    Directly typing the advanced url works of course but this is super frustrating that it's not visible for me otherwise. I wonder what else I'm not seeing as I mostly interact with Kagi on mobile

  • 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility

  • I'm in the same boat. But I'm still using my steam controller right now. Really hope a V2 comes out sometime this year or next 🤞

  • These EVs Far Outperform Their EPA Range On The Highway

    Jump

  • The BMW iX is one of the big winners here, pulling 370 miles of range when it should only do 309 miles. Even better is the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 sedan. Benz's controversially styled electric four-door is a range king, managing 380 miles on the highway. While that's only nine miles more than its EPA rating, it's the best result among this test group.

  • I made the switch to Kagi January last year.

    I know it's all just personal experience and everyone can have their own needs, but I was skeptical at first as well.

    Almost a year and a half later I've got no complaints.

    My searches feel like how Google felt years ago: mainly I never think about it. I search, find what I want and I'm off. It just works as I'd expect without the nonsense ads and AI Google has now.

    Worth a free trial. See how it works for you.

  • What's the state of Android browsers? Want to move away from Samsung Internet

    Jump

  • So it's just the forward/backwards buttons you want at the bottom?

    That's so interesting. I can't say I ever use the forward button when browsing and for backwards I just use the back gesture (same as any other app).

    But thanks for the screenshots. I didn't even know people use that sort of setup.

    FF should offer it then, if that's something people use/expect as a norm.

  • To offer another take, FF has never been buggy for me. Never had this keyboard issue, or any of the stuff mentioned so your mileage may vary.

    As for the bottom nav, I have that on normal FF. If you go to Settings-->Customize, the option to pick top or bottom address bar is right there.

  • The Pebble Has Been Brought Back

    Jump

  • Having used both, personally I highly preferred the Pebble over the Bangle JS.

    Pebble was solid software, good designs and it all just worked simply and did what I needed. I also thought the Pebble Time Round was near perfect in design and execution. I'm not a fan of the geeky look of the normal pebble and bangle watches (or the apple watch look).

    The Bangle was fun to dev for, and I love that it exists, but it all felt like a dev project. Not a finished product. Granted it was early on in the project so I'm sure it's in a better place now.

    They both have similar capabilities. I say go with whichever you think is going to fit what you need a smartwatch to do.

  • Plex is overhauling its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood upgrades

    Jump

  • This was my exact experience as well.

    I'll keep an eye on it for sure and will most likely try to set it up again in another year or so. But right now, I have no time to fiddle to make things work.
