Bluetooth and bluetooth audio are very different things. Bluetooth audio support seem rather weak and users seem to be using usb audio blootooth dongles created for pa4 and ps5 such as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MF5S5YX rather than a generic bluetooth transciever.

What little freebsd support for bluetooth audio there is seem to rely on specific audio backend software and since I'm assuming ps5 has surround sound, atmos and whatnot they probably threw that out of the window early on during development.

With that said sony has done plenty of graphical stuff on what I assume is their custom display driver suchas 3d, vrr, hdr. So them having plenty of custom modules on top of freebsd can't really be an excuse so I'd just cook it down to sony priorities.

Also, fuck developing for bluetooth. Hate that janky specification...

Because bluetooth audio playback is part of the kernel and pulseaudio/pipewire (and more) and unless sony want to run those on the ps5 (which arguably would be a bad idea at this point) that's not really a useful analogy.

A better question is why a dedicated gaming company like nintendo could at least get some audio working while ps5 made by a much bigger and more diverse company can't.

Arguably it's because ps5 is a home console and audio playback is the realm of the tv or receiver/soundbar in that setting and they are more concerned with showing ads and spying on you than basic functionality nowadays...

Which seem perfectly reasonable to me honestly. This all seem like a nothing issue when we have larger problems concerning things like planned obsolescence and no maintainability to deal with.

You don't get to pick the hour it's scheduled for delivery? Or atleast am/pm/evening?

I've lived in northern sweden and unlike americans we don't haul appliances around daily. When I would buy one I hooked up my trailer, brought my old broken one to the recycling center and picked up my new from the store going home. Or pay for delivery and disposal if that was an option.

It would take the entire day due to the distance but that's not really the fault of the trailer or the car.

Ok

The admins of lemmy.world, see the main post you're commenting in.

So 128kbps transcoded to 96kbps? Seems like quite a significant price to pay, but whatever you're happy with works for you :)

And that's fine, I'm just sad how that type of content has significantly marginalised original films and shows.

Usb is a de-facto standard and are we still using usb 1.1?

They are currently working hard to discontinue your favourite Google service.

It seems to be a special torrent client that work similar to tor (guessing with less hops though) and bounce encrypted traffic on special "i2p routers". Not sure if they do the onion style encryption of thor.
