But Plex is BYO Music, I am looking for a service where I actually can discover music.

Coming from Apple Music and looking for a streaming service that integrates well with a Wiim Ultra and iOS+DAC:
-Spotify -> No lossless
-Tidal -> Has issues with bit depth/sample rate and DACs on iOS
-Qobuz -> Doesn't have Qobuz Connect
-Deezer -> Lossless maxes out at 16/44.1 (which could be an option)
-Amazon/Youtube Music -> I don't want those companies in my digital life
It feels like none checks all the boxes... So any tips welcome!

It's been really quiet on the #SuperSega front for the past 2 weeks since they charged the pre-orders.
They had promised during their interview on a Spanish Twitch stream to publish a video of the Dreamcast core last Sunday. Nothing... More than ever it looks like a scam.

You might have been following the #SuperSega drama in the #FPGA #retrogaming community. I must say, that I have been very skeptical from the start: The guy itself, his lack of technical knowledge, the abysmal communication, the poor videos, the ridiculous website, how Kevtris confirmed that the PCB could not work, etc.
But yesterday, I stumbled upon an interview of the guy behind the project (in Spanish) and this ended up convincing me that EVERYTHING is a scam. The amount of nonsense in that interview is unbelievable:

#Amiga mouse problem solved!
I wasn't ready to destroy the insides of my original tank mouse in order to fit a laser PCB.
It was sold in minutes on my local online classified ads site.
Solution: Get a new wireless Tank Mouse (the 2023 project).

Dilemma: I got this nice laser replacement PCB for my #Amiga tank mouse, but it requires to cut the screw post in order to fit. Yes or no to destructive mods? 🤔

Posting this from my #Amiga 1200 with Amidon, the Amiga #Mastodon client.
Wow, again something I never thought should/could be possible 30 years ago.

Playing an mp3 on an #Amiga 1200 😵
You had to be there in the 90s to understand how impressive this is.
This is of course #Pistorm powered, but nonetheless impressive.

No wonder my wireless Tank Mouse wasn’t working well… One of the wire hadn’t been soldered. It was an easy fix, but makes me wonder on quality control 🤔

#introduction
Hi, I'm Michael, geek born in the late 70s, always learning something, mainly interested in (retro)#gaming, Japanese stuff, digital #privacy, #Linux and any time-consuming or utopian quest.
I'm French, but living in #Norway for the past 15 years.
I'm a Twitter refugee as I guess many are right now. Hoping for a new/better start on Mastodon.
