Hello!
How do audio formats compare to CD sound quality? Which is best?
I am wondering: is Apple Lossless the same sound quality as a audio CD you'd buy in the stores?
Also: When decompressing flac files, can you truly get the sound quality of the original recording? Say you're burning a CD. What would be the best format to use, WAV?
Can anybody help?
Thanks....
Just use Opus
512 vbr for archival quality
192 vbr for audible transparency
The only other format to use is WAV if you're into music production or video editing but everything else is a meme.

Lossless formats are, as one should deduce, the exact same audio data as on an audio CD.
If you mean original recording as in the unmastered, raw output from in the studio before it reached the sound engineers, then no, you cannot. If by original recording, you mean the release as if you bought it from an official source, then yes, regardless of compression level, the audio will be exactly the same.

I had a co-worker who used this. Seems kinda uncomfortable for more than 1-2 hours.
>>59986072
I believe some are, but it's hard to distinguish which are and which aren't.
Would try OP's pic.

Does everything is a fucking meme to you?
Is there anyway to turn a un-allocated partition back with all it's existing files ?
>>59985982
back up your shit, and reformat partition.
then enlarge primary partition
put your files back on it. profit, next time go on sqt
>>59985982
Yes absolutely, as long as you didn't fuck with the filesystem header. Use fdisk NOT anything like parted, gparted that might actually overwrite the old filesystem header. Just make a new partition of the exact same size and type, write out and the kernel should recognize it as the old filesystem with all of the data still there.
You might be able to do it without creating the partition too, try something like
mount -t ntfs -o offset=XXXXX /dev/sda /mnt
where offset is the number of bytes to the start of the filesystem header.
Use TestDisk.

do people unironically think hes more than a fat tinfoil-hat maniac?
Free Wifi is already retarded.
McDonald's is just as retarded.
Now combine both and tell me why I should work (((for free))) to make free JavaScript for that.

Are you using the coincidence detector or is that one of the dumb jews to have echos around their names?
So I have had this shitty chair that was my brothers that turns out to be shit for manlets and is making my lower back explode.
Are there any chairs /g/ can recommend that office store chains carry and any manlets (5'6~") that can chime in on their sitting situation? Budget is around 200.
>>59985578
used aeron or steelcase
>>59985599
nice get
>>59985599
This. Search eBay for sellers that buy Aeron or Leap chairs at company asset auctions. I got my fully optioned out Aeron for $500. A Leap will cost less.

A "Linux Desktop" would only be possible if the kernel, Linux, would develop into a complete operating system, inclusive desktop enviroment.

You did this to yourself, retard
>>59985504
Precisely. The "Linux distrust" contains GNU userland on top of Linux, making the whole operating system consist of two seperate entities. Unlike the cuck lisenses such as Apache(TM) or BSD, GPL requires the end user to not claim the work of distributed network of open-source software developers, so in a sense, calling GNU/Linux distributions just "Linux" goes against the GPL itself. Therefore, "Linux distributions" should be called GNU/Linux distributions instead.

> This historical gender bias is even worse in Romance languages like Spanish or French where every single noun has a gender, cleaner is only feminine, doctor is only masculine... The worst is the complete dominance of the masculine: if you have 1 male student and 1000 female students, when you talk about them altogether you must use... the masculine form! When I learned that rule I wanted to throw my pencil away.

Is it possible to use linux as a "casual" without much free time? I am willing to learn basic stuff, but I am not an enthusiast or anything like that. I just want a faster and safer system that doesn't spy on me.
Install Gentoo

Yes, install Ubuntu.
As long as you don't need any of the Windows exclusive software (if you don't know what they are then you don't) you'll be just fine on Ubuntu.
