Yeah, run 20 random poorly optimized things like this and you got 100%.

I’ve watched blind people use iPhones just fine before when I participated in User Testing of some web software.
It’s amazing what the accessibility functionality on iOS does.
- Comment on Wallace & Gromit fans appalled by the AI upscaling on new 4K UHD release 4 days ago:
For those who care. Just like how audio formats are labeled, and multiple options are provided. Even though most people don’t care.
Just label it. “AI enhanced” or “AI upscaled to 4k”. Not to difficult, and it could be a tiny little box next to the other technical details people ignore.
- Comment on Wallace & Gromit fans appalled by the AI upscaling on new 4K UHD release 4 days ago:
The point is it’s fake 4k, and in a real remaster of the film stock, it would be more visible.
I think it’s totally fair to either ask for AI upscaling to stop happening on purchasable media, or to ask for it to be clearly labeled as such.

Oh shit, I just checked Letterboxd. The top review says that even the water looks worse? 😬

Wow, the only copy that was otherwise available was very much not 4k. What a jump.

- Comment on Marvel calls for more reshoots on ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ after failed test screening 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if he ends up an animated character for 90% of the screen time.
It’s probally why he agreed to the paycheck.
He’s good on the AppleTV show Shrinking btw.
- Comment on IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default. 5 weeks ago:
Preview is an app on macOS for viewing and editing images and PDFs.
According to the Audacity manual it supports MP3. But you need to install additional software for AAC (M4A).
manual.audacityteam.org/man/importing_audio.html
So it’s strange that you are struggling with this. It seems something more is going on here…
Also, just in case it was confusing: M4A is just a file extension used to indicate AAC audio in an MP4 container.
That’s a bummer that AudioTimeliner is struggling with MP3 files. Small independent apps like this usually depend on outside libraries to play back audio. And looking at the version history, it looks like the author has had to make multiple updates to fix playback support over the years.
I see that AudioTimeliner is niche software that has been around for about 22 years, and it’s cross platform. It seems normal to me that it would be picky. Audacity on the other hand, something weird is going on.
I work in higher education, so I understand how relying on niche software like AudioTimeliner goes. I’m sympathetic.
But there is a lack of precision in what you are describing, and your symptoms are directly counter to the Audacity documentation.
- Comment on IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default. 5 weeks ago:
Preview does not play MP3 or AAC.
And what’s a program that’s not accepting of MP3 files that generally works with audio?
You seem to be a bit confused.

Agreed on both points.
The traditionally attractive factor is another tell with AI generated imagery. One of many that is fading as new models are built.

People don’t want to face the truth. For the decades the “PCMR” meme has existed, it’s all been about supporting Microsoft.

- Comment on God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement 2 months ago:
I doubt the majority of those incidents are people who bought it without knowing about the controversy first. Thats why they can be grouped and labeled as something other than standard reviews.

That does sound like review bombing then. People elsewhere in the thread are arguing about definitions.
