Google confined they'll one day move that feature to YouTube Music.

Is there a way to keep Chrome in a work profile on a given version but update it outside the work profile? Our internal employee apps use some Citrix framework that hasn't yet been patched to work with the most recent version of Chrome.

Switching to a Galaxy from an iPhone leads to problems figuring out where what should be obvious things are. When I get a message through the messages app, the screen lights up so I can see the notification. When I get a message in Signal, it does not. How do I change the latter's behavior to the former?

Alan_Shore posted:I believe you, but why is it ok to say this about refresh rates, but mentioning audio quality gets you mocked? What's the difference? Because current tech is still in the range where higher refresh rates than are common are still perceiveable by some people. On the audio side, however, we've been at the equivalent of a referesh rate well beyond the threshold of even the most senstive eyes since the release of the CD. No one can hear frequencies higher than 24kHz, (what sample rates >48kHz get you) and being able to reproduce sounds over 100dB with zero quantization noise (what bit depths beyond 16 get you) is a completely useless thing outside of mixing. It's as if 6,000hz displays were the standard and there were people who claimed that 18,000hz is just so much smoother, you're blind if you can't tell the difference. Oh and they also claim that 18,000hz content has way better brightness, color, and contrast even though those things have nothing to do with refresh rate. Edit: vvvv I don't know for sure, but I would think that any effect that higher frequency sounds have on sounds in the audible range would be picked up when you record the sounds in the audible range. vvvv Theris fucked around with this message at 08:34 on May 12, 2019 |

One thing I've always wondered about audio is if frequencies we can't hear still interact with frequencies we CAN hear and affect their sound. Like, do the sound waves interact with each other such that removal of the high frequencies we can't hear for compression purposes causes a perceivable change in the frequencies we CAN hear because the other waves aren't present like they would be if you heard the instrument live.

It's $2 cheaper a month assuming you have Prime (and even cheaper if you only stream to Echo devices) and has the same catalog of music as far as I can tell. Amazon lets you upload your own files and play them too. And on Android it can stream to both Chromecasts and Echo devices--although god help you if you have Chromecast audios because Google pulled the plug on those (gently caress you Google). The $20 Echo input is a way better Chromecast audio though in my experience--wifi setup is easier, voice control that works great, and the streaming just works.

can anyone suggest an app that will let me turn a directory on the main storage into just a passthrough link to the corresponding directory on my SD card, or at least just move everything from the former to the latter as a scheduled task or equivalent thereof? It seems Google thinks nobody would want to do that so the options in the os are quite limited, I can pretty much only set the camera to use the SD card which is the one app I DON'T want to do that by default.

Same, It works well, streams well, plays well, and YouTube Music is, less good and has a smaller selection then the other so... Why force the change? I lived through the Zune Music -> Xbox Music -> Groove Music -> Just use Spotify because we suck at this, debacle on the Microsoft side.

So I'm connected to my hotel's WiFi... but I can't update my OS or backup my photos to Google Photos because both apps say they are not connected to WiFi. What the gently caress? These are the only two things that are hosed up right now, and I don't understand why. Tried turning on/off WiFi, on/off airplane mode, forgetting the network, restarting the phone, deleting old networks(only 10 in my phone's memory now fwiw), nothing has worked. I turn my cellular data off manually when connected to WiFi, so the only way I'm getting a connection is through the loving WiFi. Anybody seen this happen? It's really starting to piss me off.

It may be similar to airplane wifi that only allows a very limited list of apps to operate. I always assumed it was a whitelist, not that they're specifically blacklisting OS updates or whatever.

I've had this over VPN, telling the apps to allow updates over cellular seems to allow it to update OK, and over the borked WiFi rather than using your data allowance.

Good news for OG Pixel owners:quote:Google has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit brought by owners of the original Google Pixel who said the company knowingly sold handsets with defective microphones. Pending the court’s approval, Google could pay up to $500 to certain Pixel owners for a total settlement of $7.25 million. Pixel and Pixel XL devices manufactured before January 4th, 2017, are covered by the lawsuit. https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/14/18623077/google-pixel-faulty-mic-issues-lawsuit-payout-hairline-fracture
