I'd like to discover alternative sources if you know any. Most written literature I come across in searches are either technical specifications biased from the Bluetooth consortium, or watered down blog spam of the same consortium's news releases. Very little in terms of critical analysis or observations of user adoption and real trends in the original equipment manufacturers.

For example, all throughout the news releases of 5.X, no one would discuss if any improvements to bidirectional audio sinks for microphoned headsets were implemented or planned. It's like the consortium is content keeping us all on phone calls with HFP from the 1990s at bitrates of 64kbps, leaving Discord audio sessions sounding like on-hold music at the DMV.

Looks like the video description already prominently links to the voice actor's social pages and channels. Perhaps the VA is just a member of the studio?

The blooper reel voice-over also kind of hints at the animation being fish needing to be tapped in an aquarium. Seems rather bespoke. Did you find a link to the original skit?

Side question, what reference is the gif from?

 

Animating bloopers was a nice touch.

Wow, felt the same way! I haven't heard the name of that software in a long time. The UI was also such a time capsule of GUI aesthetics of the time, like Winamp skins.

How about Elizabethan cyberpunk that is Art Deco adjacent?

Takes a bit to get accustomed to the textures, but a fun adaptation.

Sometimes you can get that golden ambient light effect during a hyper localised storm fronts around mountainous plateaus, like thunder storms during dusk in the Himalayas, where the terrain cuts holes in the cloud cover. Very epic ambience:

Thank you so much! Had no idea what that media chip was called. For others, the exact setting path is:

Lock screen and AOD -> Now bar -> Media Player

I was looking through the top level Display settings menu, and didn't think to look under the lock screen settings. Kind of annoying that I have to disable media controls for the lock screen to disable the flashing animated media chip when the phone is unlocked. Why do they tie the two features together under one setting item?

 

Android 15 users, however, will have an issue: Samsung TTS can only be used with Samsung TalkBack. Multi-language automatic switching helpers like Tech Freedom, AutoTTS, and Multilingual TTS can’t use the Samsung voices

It is infuriating to see this happen, especially now that we have neural voices with an expressivity that’s better than it’s ever been.

This is a huge regression in accessibility, and comes off as a rather distasteful decision by Samsung. What motives would they have to nerf accessibility for users who want to continue using their existing screen readers with system default voices?

This would make for a fun AI redub of the original song vocals.

That's a cute flash forward. For those of the loop:
