  • Also, the 3.5mm audio port on your phone has another reason to exist.

    Your music is digital until something converts into an analog waveform that your headphones or speakers can use. That thing is the digital to analog converter aka a DAC.

    The quality of the DAC directly effects the quality of the audio. The cheap dongle you buy on amazon for a few bucks is the cheapest pos that exists. Most phones with a 3.5 output will produce better sound because the manufacturer can elect to put a better DAC in the phone hardware. In fact, a high quality DAC built into the phone would be a nice selling point for audiophiles or a nice upgrade for those who might otherwise choose to buy an external dac–now they dont have to.


  • A robot told me: The Meta/Yandex exploit worked by having JavaScript running on a website (such as Meta Pixel) connect from the browser to a native app on the same device via the localhost (127.0.0.1) interface, using HTTP, WebSocket, or WebRTC. This communication occurs entirely within the device and does not traverse the network in a way that browser extensions like uBlock Origin can intercept or block. Browser extensions generally cannot block or even see requests made to localhost sockets, especially when those requests are initiated by scripts running in the browser and targeting native apps on the same device
