  • I got nitro for higher audio quality so I could stream background music while running a DnD campaign over discord.

    It also increases your streaming resolution and file upload size limit which is quite useful.

    It also lets you use emojis from any server in any other server, which isn’t “useful” but is fun and I do it all the time.

    For these 3 things I think it’s worth it. It’s worth noting I have a grandfathered Nitro plan that is more features than “Nitro Basic” but less features than the next tier at a cost that’s in between.

    The real enshitification I’m worried about is the gradually increasing prevalence of ads in increasingly prominent places.




  • Using a song as an alarm sound only works if it’s locally downloaded in Music and there are some codec and bitrate restrictions as well, but this is never explained anywhere. I’ve had to figure it out by trial and error.

    At the very least there should be a warning in the Alarm app when you choose a song as an alarm that isn’t going to work.





  • The monitor calibration tool on macOS does not support HDR properly, resulting in severe miscalibration.

    Also while writing this post I realized “miscalibration” is not in iOS’s spellcheck dictionary lol.

    Also Apple doesn’t fully support high refresh rate displays. My current display Apple supports as 100Hz when on Linux and Windows I can run it as 120Hz or 144Hz.

    External monitor is connected via thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable. It’s connected to my Windows/Linux computer via DisplayPort cable directly to the GPU.
