God damn it, that thing look gorgeous! And now I want it.
(for the people that want to know, pricing is 1045 euro for EU citizens and 878,15 euro for non-EU citizens)
They were used by TSA to profile people, due to the fact that Al-Qiada used them to detonate bombs with.

I am currently rocking a Shanling M2X which I bought secondhand for €75,- from the local classified ad websites.
Officially supports up the 512Gb but according some reviews it can do up to 2Tb microSD cards ( https://headfonics.com/shanling-m2x-review/ ). I currently have a music collection of about the same size. The Shanling M2X can drive all the IEMs I throw at it, has enough file system support to read just about anything and has WiFi and Bluetooth. Although the WiFi can only be used to wirelessly sync files (which can be a pro but also a con, depending on how you look at it).
However if you don’t feel like going secondhand, Shanling offers a whole bunch of devices meant for offline playback of local files.
To be completely fair, without the “receipts” (ie, screenshots or something else point towards proof) my comments shouldn’t be considered anything more than hearsay.
Personally, this experience is something that’s sticking out like a sore thumb. Most people I interact with online, even people I haven’t interacted with before, I start out with the assumption that they come from a place with good intentions. And then there is a person, that immediately goes against that, especially on a platform where I didn’t expect it.
Edit: grammar
Closed source isn’t a crime. However trying to ruin a company with exclusionary tactics can be. Linux kernel devs and Wayland devs have all conspired to harm a company.
NVIDIA kinda shoot themselves in the foot on Linux and excluding themselves. Refusing to support generally supported APIs like;
- VA-API
NVIDIA rather wants the OSS community the use their VDPAU or NVENC / NVDEC API’s. Whilst everything and dog uses VA-API.
- GBM
Not true anymore (for driver above 495), but in the past NVIDIA refused to support GBM (for Wayland) and rather have compositors use EGLStreams instead of GBM.
Next to that modern NVIDIA hardware (GTX 900 and 1000 series) on the opensource Nouveau drivers cannot be reclocked because it needs some magically blessed signature by NVIDIA. NVIDIA refuses to supply that signature for that hardware but did release it for 1600 and up series.
That’s just two things where I am like, dafuq are you doing NVIDIA…
