+1 for Qobuz.
I simply buy the songs singularly, ~2€ a song for the best high-res flac 876Khz 36bit snakeoil-imbued quality one could ever want. You buy it once, it's yours forever. You can even re-download it if you lose it. It's converted me from pirating music to buying it. Best example of "piracy is a service issue".
Every week that passes I find myself looking forward to these more & more. Thanks for sharing this resource!
Ahhh yes, google dorks, the duller brother.
If you're talking about the FOSS app, it's just a nice UI for your RealDebrid web-interface. It can:
But as far as I can tell, it's nothing you can't already do with the RealDebrid webpage & the stremio interface with Torrentio. Unchained looks nice though.
Edit: clarification.
Well, he's played a role in getting me and I'm sure many others interested in tech in the first place (remember the OnePlus One days?). So I'd say he has a bit more going for him than just video editing, he summarizes tech really well and he just....sparks that tech passion in his viewers! But I simply can't believe that in all these years he never stopped and pondered what in-transit encryption vs. end-to-end encryption might mean!
To hammer my point home: This means he doesn't understand why people would use Signal instead of sending a DM on Facebook or Instagram. Why any sane mind would pick Proton Mail over something like standard Gmail. He's absolutely clueless as to what a data breach into popular password managers like Bitwarden or LastPass might mean. When Apple says things like (and imagining this in Tim Cook's voice makes it a hundred times better) "What stays on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone." or "end-to-end encrypted, meaning that not even Apple can access it", he doesn't understand any of it and just moves on. And mind you, these are Apple presentations we're talking about, catered to the simple understanding of an average consumer.
Yes, naturally everyone has to start somewhere, but I wish him and his team (c'mon guys, I KNOW you'll read this!) would put a bit more effort into fillling knowledge gaps as soon as they come up, instead of just relying on their selective research each time a new video gets made and arrogantly thinking that in all other aspects they must still be ahead of 99% of all other people. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself: After one of his co-hosts asks people watching the podcast to tweet at him to explain it, Marques replies: "Good luck getting a tweet."
But hey, I hope these are only the first of many steps they'll take in the big world of data protection, transparency, open-source, privacy and, of course, encryption ;)
P.s. sorry for the wall of.....text.
Edit: clarification at the beginning.
Marques Brownlee (a.k.a. MKBHD).
A few weeks ago he posted a new episode of his podcast with him and a few others. They talked about Nothing Chats and Sunbird, the iPhone getting RCS and the usual OpenAI drama. At some point Marques mentions the fact that iMessage with RCS will still be "unencrypted". Following that they ponder over why RCS wouldn't have this fabled encryption, such a weird thing that RCS doesn't support encryption from the get-go, and after brainstorming for a bit someone adds the information that it indeed will be encrypted in-transit, but not end-to-end encrypted. And what comes next boggled my mind: Silence ensues. No-one says anything. You only see the faces of four grown-ass tech influencers that are stunlocked and completely unable to process what this neverheard difference between encryption methods might mean. It all just ends with "I've been trying so hard to figure out what that means. I can't." And then.......then they simply move on, not even addressing for a second this knowledge gap and solving it right there on the spot. You can watch it if you want. What hurts the most is that Marques' co-star, David, the guy that looks the most confused, made a 1+ hour history-lesson type video a few months ago about the history of the internet and the importance of HTTPS encryption.
Now, if we're talking about visual quality and overall visual production quality, his videos were insanely enjoyable to watch. I also don't want to shame anyone for not knowing something and I understand that this is in part the consequence of an ever growing company at this point. The channel is still growing and has reached 18 millions subs. Him (and his team) also cover a constantly growing tech sphere, from phones to laptops, from e-vehicles to supercars, from tech politics to tech blunders. But coming from a guy that has been a "tech influencer" on YouTube for 14 years, a guy that over the years had the chance to interview Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Sundar Pichai and surely had the chance to surround himself with experts on all sorts of topics, a guy that dedicated entire videos to Nothing Chats, the role of Quantum Computing in encryption or the dangers and potentials of the Metaverse, this kind of shocked me. I just couldn't take him seriously anymore and I hate myself for it. But it's like my grandma not knowing the difference between a normal call and a WhatsApp call, expect that he's been talking about tech for more than a decade.
Nice, I'm glad you managed to make it work your way! For my part I'll be on the lookout for that "always on VPN" setting next time I set up something network-related, that might have been the cause of some unexplained troubleshooting sessions in the past.
Btw, after reading your post I gave Amaze another shot, but regardless of what I tried, with and without VPN, anonymous mode on/off and all that jazz, the PSV folders simply wouldn't appear. So just a heads-up, I don't really know what's going on there.
Edit: typo.
Ahaha no worries, it was a nice run....
.....is what I would have said, but you underestimated the fact that I have no life whatsoever and am crying over my desk everyday!! And thanks to that I present the end-all solution version 3.0. Enter: Ghost Commander (f-droid).
Remember when I said that I looked at every open-source file manager that doesn't look like it was made in 1997? Well, Ghost Commander is a dual panel file manager with an old-school look, so imo it takes a minute getting used to it, but immediately upon opening it for the first time you'll be able to press on "FTP site" to connect to an FTP server. Under "Server", you have to input both your IP and port in this format: 178.149.5.649:2121
Then leave everything as is, press OK, and if you've deactivated that pesky VPN setting you should see your PS Vita folders on your Android phone. Here's a screenshot of how it looks on my end after changing panel view. That's all there is to it. It looks a bit clunky, but drastic times call for desperate measures, and it works!
Jokes aside, you're gonna get access to your PC in a week so you're soon gonna be able to solve this in one way or another. But you'll probably still have to move files to your PSV while on the move, and I couldn't believe there wasn't a fully open-source solution to do this, so I'm gonna post it anyways :P
I'm trying to finally switch from Windows to Linux, meanwhile this mf is already trying out alternatives to Linux. That's when you know you're late to the game.
