Mull is fine if you use the divestos repo directly, but the f-droid version is behind

The fade-out could work but would add more delay time, but the buffering would almost certainly require additional hardware because radios typically can't process two DAB signals at once and it can't pre-buffer a live broadcast unless it adds an extra delay, which is just shifting the problem to a different cause. Speed ramping could maybe account a bit for this, but then if you change stations multiple times quickly this would fail. Also, speed ramping would probably annoy people, especially for music, unless imperceptibly slow. That would require a decent buffer, meaning you'd have to delay switching the channel and also not change the channel for a bit, otherwise you'd get the pause.

The amount of complexity any potential solution adds is not especially worth it, as much as I recognise that it is annoying. Also, since most people aren't too fussed by the pause, I doubt anyone would bother to produce a radio with the hardware for this (and the software on top).

The DAB decode just takes some time - DAB will always have more latency than FM due to the increased processing. Not sure how much that can be shrunk (probably a fair bit but the cost wouldn't be worth it for most people), but the crossfade would not work because the FM would be ahead of the DAB.

The only way to avoid channel changing delay is to constantly be decoding multiple channels, which would likely increase the power consumption and device cost a fair bit.

Masturbation won't do that, you should probably go to a doctor. Also, give a toy a go if it sounds fun!

iFixit released a video guide that might help https://youtu.be/pCVBnpyrn3g

If you or someone you know is handy with a soldering iron, there are replacement hall-effect sensor sticks available now. I am planning on swapping mine out with Gulikit ones because I am very stubborn about giving in to planned obsolescence (I 100% believe this is deliberate on Sony's part).

Excited teenagers definitely would. Honestly, I bet anyone that sees the marketing for a game they're excited for and hasnt been burned before in that way is a prime candidate for preordering.

I agree that it's a bad idea to preorder or pay extra, especially with Ubisoft. However, following that logic they are basically preying on people new to the hobby, which sucks and deserves to be called out.

You have to install it on a partition. My advice would be to check that the disk is definitely empty (or at least doesnt have anything you want on it), then click the "new partition table" option, which would (I think) reformat the drive and allow you to set up the drive with a more linux-friendly file system than NTFS. From there, you want to select a partition on the drive and install Mint there. You may be able to install it directly on the NTFS partition now but I'm not sure.

Ah, thanks for the answer, I'd missed this on the GH page. Unfortunately, that's not what I'm after as I know I will end up with a complete mess of unusable notes or not use it at all if there are any stages of choosing a note type.

Ideally, I want version controlled, editable, searchable, taggable paper I don't have to file away, which I can also type on and use other digital tools with (e.g for things like diagrams, spreadsheets). I haven't seen anything particularly close to what I'm after yet but I'm hopeful that it'll come eventually.
