As several other threads of mentioned, Nvidia has statements in various places along the lines of "All Nvidia Digit systems will have 128GB". Looks like you might be able to select different storage or something or maybe the number of cores (CPU and/or GPU).
I can't see how this will work in terms of a TDP. 2/3 of the 4090 power would be several times more power than can be effectively cooled in the physical form factor of an Apple Mini. Either there is severe downclocking happening under full throttle, or NVIDIA have come up with more low power design mojo than Apple has been able to muster for the M4 Max.
Delta strain reproduces at ~1,200x faster rate than the already contagious original COVID19 strain. This is an absolutely massive difference and works on quasi-exponential scale! The body cannot detect and react immediately in force to a virii intrusion, hence a vaccinated person can be infectious, but with everything else being equal, he or she will have lower viral load (hence level of infectiousness) and shorter period of infectiousness compared to an unvaccinated person.
Why is that not clear to most people opposing vaccination on these grounds, is beyond me.
In a mine -- constricted space of very small volume with forced ventilation -- the conditions would be ideal for getting infected with a very high initial viral load. Under these conditions, it is not unreasonable that immunity of any kind (from infection or vaccination) would not be sufficient to prevent symptomatic COVID19 infections.
I have Plex lifetime sub and TIDAL sub, but never explored them in combination. Where would I start to learn more? Have you compared to Roon's or Audirvana's integration of TIDAL?
I haven't, but this thread got roon on my list to explore. I've used plex for movies for years, and google music's end got me looking for new things.
I have two music libraries: tidal and my own music (I'm using about 80% my own music). The music is well tagged already using picard, so I don't know how well that works out of the box. When I'm in the tidal library, I usually will mark an album/artist to be added to my normal music library and then it will start showing up there mixed in with my self hosted stuff.
The killer features (to me) are 1: playing by album instead of by track. I use the "random album" shuffle all the time and usually want to listen to an album all at once and 2: smart playlist builder which lets me make dynamic playlists around how many times I've played a thing, my personal rating, or when the last time I played it was.
Master quality is king these days, when "transparent" compression codecs are used. However, there are still many people who believe they can hear/feel the difference. You will need a combination of a golden ear and extra good equipment, starting from about 1K and above for a headphone setup.
My experience has been that TIDAL CD quality streams are of great quality, and some of the MQA ones are brilliant. Of course, a lot depends on the master quality, that seems to be the key these days as a lot of the sound compressionist's work has been automated by tools.
I fear there is a consolidation coming up for the music streaming services. Smaller companies like TIDAL will find it difficult to compete with Apple, Spotify, Amazon and Google.
As an avid TIDAL user I wish them well in their new "home".
