    Glad to hear LTT is moving in the right direction, taking down the incorrect videos, and committed to doing better overall. I will resubscribe to YouTube like I before.

    Its implied... buyers would have expectations around frequency of uploads staying consistent.
    Implied warrenties do exist.
     
    At least in canada they do.

    I mean it really depends how much they are in need of liquidity vs profit. Lime day for instance was there to increase liquidity with the downside of reduced or even negative profit

    And all we do is manufacturing electronic devices in our own factory with processes and checks on everything, culminating in final QA inspection of documents and product. Failures still escape. But you're right, everything is correctable and repeatable (or reworkable). Sometimes it just happens after the failure/error has "shipped," so to speak. 
     
    Managing multiple teams working on multiple things is never "not that hard."

    It's used to reduce the amount of money they're losing. if they are. Sure, their job is to make money. If they're not making money or even breaking even, they better start changing or they'll soon run out.

    Show the criteria that's used that shows how many videos need to be uploaded per a certain time frame. 
     
    Ultimately you decide if it's worth your money, and if you don't think it is, you unsubscribe, or don't subscribe at all.

    This page from our FAQ spells it out more clearly: https://lttstore.gorgias.help/en-US/what-charges-such-as-customs-duty-or-sales-tax-should-i-expect-when-ordering-from-you-218229
     
    As some other posters have pointed out, your local sales tax is distinct from customs/duty and thus not covered by the wording on our customs/duty policy. One thing I haven't seen pointed out yet though is that, while smaller stores aren't required to collect sales tax (or VAT as you may refer to it), we actually are required to do that and that's because most countries impose that requirement on foreign businesses after they exceed a certain sales threshold, which we've passed in a number of EU countries.

    Phse0 reacted to LAwLz in Floatplane DOES NOT provide users with better audio quality   
    I don't feel like reading through all the replies so sorry if I am repeating what has already been said.
     
    This issue has been brought up several times in the past on this forum. I remember, because I used to engage in those conversations and made suggestions for video encoding for Floatplane. I am also fairly sure that one of the Floatplane members said that sending high-bitrate video just wasn't sustainable economy-wise.
    I am fairly sure Floatplane stopped (if they ever did) advertising higher video quality as well. I can't find any reference to that on their website.
     
     
    I will try and find the previous threads about it.
     
     
     
    Edit:
    Oh wow... I just read the comments on Reddit. Holy crap a lot of those people have no idea what they are talking about, and for some reason, people are upvoting them. I am referring to comments like this one:

     
     
    1143 Kbps is not at all "barely 360p bitrate". It is fairly standard for 1080 video streaming. Youtube's 1080 streams are typically at or below 1Mbps. 
    It seems like a lot of people on the subreddit are super eager to call people who point out issues "karma whores", "trolls", "bad faith actors" and so on. It's like they are in heavy denial. It's pretty scary that it seems like several people are also parroting this "the bitrate can't be that low!" claim. It's like people latch on to things they want to be true and then never verify it themselves. 
     
     
     
     
    Edit 2:
    Found some of the threads I talked about. Here is one from about a year ago when someone complained about poor video quality on Floatplane. I asked for some more info but sadly nobody nobody provided it back then. Good to see people doing it now.
     
    Here is the Floatplane developer saying that "sending massive bitrate isn't sustainable cost-wise". Although, the bitrate mentioned in the OP was 4 Mbps and 8Mbps for 720p and 1080p respectively. I think the bitrates suggested by OP (4 and 8 Mbps) are quite high, but for comparison, Netflix back when they had more primitive encoding and streaming (like Floatplane has today) then they used to have ~2,3Mbps or 3Mbps for 720p, and 4,3Mbps or 5,8Mbps for 1080p.
     
    So Netflix used to have more than twice as high bitrate for their 720p content than Floatplane has today for their 1080p content. To put things into perspective.
     
    If they want to advertise high-quality videos, then I think they need to bump up their quality a bit more than this, especially in the audio department.
     
    They might want to update their encoder as well. Their encoding software is almost 7 years old at this point.

    LTT has no direct control over the Reddit subforum. They are likely implementing restrictions so that new users do not come in and flood the site with arguments. 
     
    The LTT Forums, on the other hand are hosted by LMG, but are run entirely by volunteers and are not officially LMG staff. We allow all criticisms, discussions and comments so long as they are civil and follow the Community Standards.

    I would start with clearing CMOS, either by taking out the CMOS battery or shorting the pins.
