I just tested it on my home system and it works obscenely well. I had to set the microphone to +20 dB in the virtual camera software, but otherwise it just works on Zoom and lets me sit on my couch and see a meeting on a 65" screen instead of at a desk on a laptop. Make sure to bring a power cable. I think it ate about 20% of the battery in as many minutes.

NDI is a h264 stream so your phone is recording the camera/audio, encoding it and then sending it over your home wifi. It will take a lot of processing power to pass the feed to your pc, if you plan to use it as a webcam, you are not going to be inceonvenienced much by the power cable once you set it up.

kind of a weird question, but ages ago I downloaded an app from a burner non-US iTunes account. I've since forgotten the email address tied to that iTunes account, and was wondering if it was possible to sus out that information from the app still installed on my phone. It seems like it was possible in an older version of desktop iTunes, but Apple has helpfully removed that functionality since then.

If you try to restore a backup of your phone that had that app installed it will ask for the password for that account in my experience, and display the email in the process.

This may sound an odd question but how do I burn through as much mobile data as possible over the next 4 days? Basically my mobile company has given all it's customers 300gb of bonus data over the Easter weekend and attached a competition to it. For every gig of data you use you get one entry into the competition to win an ipad pro, 2 pairs of airpod pros and an apple tv 4k. I've linked my ipad to my phone and I have a youtube livestream on, but what else could I do?

(Star Wars 4K BluRay rips dropped recently.) Not only will you download a few 10s of gigs, but uploads probably count also and you'll upload a shitload.

Right? I used to be so impressed reading about the clever tricks programmers would use to squeeze use out of every last byte of data for old games that had to fit onto a small cartridge, disk or tape. Now it just seems like all of that skill has gone and they're like "gently caress it, it'll be as big as it'll be." I get that games are bigger and more detailed but it's getting ridiculous. Makes me nervous hearing that the upcoming basic PS5 model won't even come with 1TB of storage as standard.

Most of the recent bloat comes from needing assets that look good at 4k, textures take up an enormous amount of space. The other big hog is multi-lingual audio files.

I don't know if that'll happen, but I could see them maybe leaning on the worst offenders a bit, especially if they start getting media heat about it.

Xbone already uses some granular installation for games (singleplayer and multiplayer, usually), and Sony I believe said they'd do something similar for PS5. You'd think PC had the same thing by now, especially when it comes to language.

Next gen Xbox has a new proprietary format to expand memory so having smaller games goes against their licensed memory card sales. Dunno about ps5 but last two gens had user replaceable storage and it was one of the features fans loved the most, so I’m expecting ps5 storage to be a generic m.2 ssd easily swappable.

This company have always been great to their customers. When the lockdown was first announced I got 60gb bonus data from them for the month to ease the strain on home wifi networks and the nbn as everyone was at home more. This 300gb expires on Monday night, so they'll be expecting for a bulk of the data to be unused, but they want to encourage people to stay at home and stream movies so they turned it into a competition.

This is the big actual thing. Replicated assets for easy seeks eat up a lot of space - Spider-Man Is a 46 gig game and a solid 10-12 gigs of it was the same assets, just repeated hundreds of times because otherwise a 5400rpm hard drive isn’t gonna keep up. It’s gonna be fun to see the difference in cross-gen game sizes.

But if a carrier offers both wireless and wired service, their wireless edge and distribution would be largely separate from the wired side, which is getting hammered. I'm not sure otherwise why they would offer free data unless mandated by the government, but for the same reason (give the NBN a break).

I’m listening to music on Spotify via my phone airplaying to an old Apple TV and browsing the web. But the music keeps cutting out when I visit some websites - even if there’s no obviously audible adverts. Is there anything I can do to stop safari stealing audio focus?

Anyone else run into a bug running dark mode where folders on the home screen are the light mode colour? Exceptionally minor thing but it’s noticeable. On an XS on the latest iOS and tried rebooting.

Anyone have the "wifi calling on other devices" not stick, and was able to solve it? I can set it, and I get the Verizon webview prompt warning me about 911 location, but then when I back out of the wifi calling screen and come back in, the setting is back to off and it didn't actually affect my other devices.

Did you actually set the E911 location on your Verizon account? I know I had to go into my T-Mobile account via either the web portal or the T-Mobile app and set my address before it would activate. If you did, you may want to call Verizon and see what's up.

Yeah, Verizon tech support is (866) 892-7957 . At least it was, try that first and if that doesn’t work just dial 611 from your cell. I depend on WiFi calling at my house, it should just prompt you to turn on WiFi calling; you input your address, save, and then it starts working. Sometimes you have to re check it once to make sure it’s on. Make sure VOLTE is set to on. Once it works on the phone, it’ll work on other devices like iPad and Mac when nearby. You would check the “calls on other devices” to make sure setting. Also, to check: consumer or business account ? Shouldn’t really matter either way, but good to check. I assumed consumer. From what you described , there’s likely a provisioning issue somewhere with your WiFi calling, so care May have to manually add the code.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 that I've had for three years, would it make sense to buy a new iPhone 8? I need a small and reliable phone. Don't care about camera as long as it has one. Seems like Apple iOS support is much better than Android updates with Samsung.

Two minor things: 1. Anyone with an XR or similar have problems with a volume button sticking? Phone has always been in a case, but for the last week or two Vol - always needs a few clicks before it warms up and works normally. Not the end of the world but slightly annoying. 2. I get a lot of text messages, and if I'm listening to music every single one of them ducks the audio for about 3-4 seconds. Like, I want to be alerted to incoming stuff but it can be more subtle than that. As far as I know the default 'ting' is the shortest thing. This bug anyone else or just me?
