  • Why Spatial Audio is the future of the music industry, even if you hate it

    I’m not feeling it. Don’t get me wrong, sounds good on MBP enabled with it and other multi-speaker systems but the TWS implementation has SO far to go.

    This reminds me of 3D movies.

    Those stats from Apple are very manipulative. 1 x 1000 is 1000. Just marketing.

    Qualcomm is adding the head-tracking to all its relevant SoC’s this year. It’s definitely a bandwagon. I can still see the wheels coming off.

  • Windows 11 getting iCloud Photos support plus Apple Music & TV apps

    The key thing about this is that it’ll be the first time lossless tracks will be officially accessible from Windows as they weren’t available in the web player.

    The web player hinted at this when you turned on the beta. The link that said iTunes now says Music. Discovered this just after having installed Apple Music for Android on Windows. I never thought to try Apple TV+.

    Apple could have just published the Android versions in the Amazon App Store and it would become available on Windows without any further effort.

    Where is the details on the lossless???

    So, they support Bluetooth 5.3 which makes them compatible with LC3plus but this isn’t lossless and they haven’t confirmed this is present or coming.
    I'm wondering that too. It only says "48 khz audio for Shareplay". That's not trumpeting "lossless audio".
    Qualcomm
     has produced lossless audio with 5.3 already, so it is possible. https://9to5mac.com/2022/03/01/qualcomm-has-found-a-way-to-support-lossless-audio-over-bluetooth-headphones-could-apple-be-next/
    Qualcomm is providing CD quality lossless but I want Hi-Res Lossless from Apple.

  • Apple, Google, Microsoft announce commitment to 'passwordless' future

    Mcnaugha2Mcnaugha2
    No this isn’t about MFA. The PIN doesn’t replace the password. The password is still there. You just don’t make it up anymore and would struggle to remember what it actually is now. The password in this solution is an encryption key that gets stored in your “secure alcove”. The PIN or passcode or biometric grants access to that key. That key is what then plays a role in replacing password entry used to access systems. The PIN is useless to anyone without your secure alcove. Your secure alcove might be a hardware chip (TPM/T2), firmware inside a CPU, or it might be data stored in your iCloud account. it’s just an evolution of fairly old technology (asymmetric encryption, e.g. SSL certs) that’s been used in Enterprises for years. They are so complex, they are probably never going to be guessed in a dictionary attack. They can’t be stolen from most systems you use because the systems don’t have a copy of the key which is private to whichever secure alcove you put it in. It’s the same kind of thing that protects data in transit with secure websites.
