Spotify is rolling out lossless audio streaming for Premium subscribers

gHacks Technology News - jeu, 09/11/2025 - 01:03

Spotify has announced that it is rolling out lossless audio quality to users. The music streaming platform had originally announced CD quality music playback in February 2021.

After a short period of just four years, the feature is finally here. Did you know that users had been requesting for lossless quality streaming on Spotify for a decade? Apple Music has supported lossless for 4 years, so has Amazon Music HD (not in all countries).

Spotify free users, you better look away now. Lossless is only for Premium subscribers. Jokes aside, you shouldn't get too excited even if you are a Premium user. Spotify's announcement says that it is rolling out lossless quality gradually in 50 markets through October. Premium subscribers in the following countries have started to get access to lossless quality: Australia, Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, the US, and the UK.

Premium users will be able to stream high-fidelity music in up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC. Once you get a notification that Lossless is available on your account, you will need to enable it from your profile > Settings > Media quality. Set the quality to Lossless, and your network preference for it, WiFi, cellular, downloads. You can start listening to Hi-fi music, the quality will show up as Lossless 16-bit or Lossless 24-bit. And yes, it's only available for music, other content such as music videos, podcasts, audiobooks are not available in Hi-fi. Users can set the quality from the Connect menu too. You will need to switch to Lossless on each device, because the setting uses a large amount of data to download/stream the music. Speaking of downloaded songs, they will play in the quality they were downloaded in. So you will need to clear your offline backup and downloads, and redownload them in lossless quality.

Lossless is supported on Spotify mobile, desktop, and tablet. You can also access it on devices that support Spotify Connect, such as Sony, Bose, Samsung, Sennheiser, etc. Spotify says that it will soon add support for more devices, like those from Sonos and Amazon. Spotify recommends using wired headphones or speakers to listen to Lossless.

Earlier this year, Spotify was said to be working on a Music Pro plan that would introduce Hi-fi music at an additional price. But the real surprise is that Spotify isn't charging extra for lossless quality, yet. Meanwhile, Google is trying to make lyrics on YouTube Music a premium feature.

Which music streaming service do you use?

Apple announces the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Pro

gHacks Technology News - mer, 09/10/2025 - 23:42

Apple has announced the iPhone 17 series. Let's discuss their specs.

Yes, I know I'm a little late about this, but there are quite a few improvements, especially for the base model of the iPhone 17.

All 4 models in the series now have a ProMotion Display, yup, the base version of the iPhone 17 supports 120Hz refresh rate. That's an adaptive refresh rate, which goes from 1Hz up to 120Hz, based on your usage. The screen is a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR panel, which supports Always-on display and has a peak outdoor brightness of 3000 nits. Apple says that the iPhone 17's Ceramic Shield 2 coating on the screen makes it 3 times more resistant to scratches.

The iPhone 17 is powered by an Apple Silicon A19 chipset, built on a 3nm process. It has 6 cores; 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, while the 5-core GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, mesh shading and MetalFX Upscaling. The iPhone 17 has a 16-core Neural Engine, and supports Apple Intelligence. Reports indicate that the iPhone 17 has 8GB of RAM, while the other 3 models have 12GB of RAM. And Apple has upgraded the storage on the base model from 128GB to 256GB

Apple says the iPhone 17's battery offers up to 8+ hours more battery life than its predecessor, the iPhone 16. The product listing says the battery offers up to 30 hours video playback. The device supports up to 50% charge in 20 minutes, with a 40W adapter, but you'll have to buy one separately.

The iPhone 17 has a Dual Fusion camera, which has 2 cameras in one. The first of these is a 48MP Fusion Main Camera with an f/1.6 aperture, and a 12MP telephoto lens that supports 2x zoom. Then you have the 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera and a 12MP Macro sensor. The 18MP selfie camera on the iPhone 17 is nearly twice the size of the previous one, and it's square shaped. Here's the thing, this square shaped sensor allows you to take selfies in any orientation, i.e. portrait or landscape, without rotating the phone. Apple calls this the Center Stage Camera.

Next is the iPhone 17 Air, a brand-new model that is just 5.6mm thick. It packs a 6.5-inch display, and has Ceramic Shield 2 on both sides. Apple says the back is 4x more resistant to cracks. The iPhone 17 Air has a titanium frame, unlike the other models which have an aluminium frame. The bump at the top of the rear panel is called a "plateau", it houses a single camera, a 48MP Fusion Camera that also supports 12MP telephoto photography with 2x zoom. It has the same 18MP Center Stage Camera on the front. It is now possible to shoot videos using both the front and rear cameras in Dual Capture mode.

Apple has packed an A19 Pro chip in the iPhone 17 Air. It has 6 cores: 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, and a 5-core GPU with 2nd-gen Dynamic Caching. This is the first iPhone to come with Apple's N1 Chip, and supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread. The iPhone 17 Air features a C1X modem, an upgraded version of the C1 which debuted in the iPhone 16 SE. Apple says the C1X is twice as fast as the C1, and is 30% more energy-efficient. The iPhone 17 Air is eSIM only, worldwide. You can't use physical SIM cards with it. Both the iPhone 17 Air and the iPhone 17 has a USB Type-C port, but its a USB2.


Coming to the iPhone 17 Pro, it is also equipped with an A19 Pro, ceramic glass on the back and front. However, it has an aluminium frame instead of titanium. Why? Well, Apple says it designed an aerospace-graded aluminium alloy, that has 20 times more thermal conductivity than titanium. The phone has a vapor chamber filled with deionized water, laser welded into the aluminium chassis. This acts as a cooling system to dissipate heat throughout the device, allowing for better performance. Apple says that with the A19 Pro and its superior thermal management system, users can get up to 40% better sustained performance. The iPhone 17 Pro has a dual-tone finish, and a large camera plateau, that houses various sensors including the cameras and antennas, featuring three camera sensors. The Pro Max version has 2TB of storage.

Apple has priced the iPhone 17 at $799, $1129 CAD, €949, £799, A$1399, INR 82900. The iPhone 17 Air $999, $1449 CAD, A$1799, €1,199, £999, INR 119900. The iPhone 17 Pro carries a price tag of $1099, $1599 CAD, A$1,999, £1099, €1299, INR 134000. And the iPhone 17 Pro Max costs $1199, $1749 CAD, A$2199, £1199, €1499 and INR 149900. The iPhone 17 series will be available for pre-order from September 12, and will start shipping on September 19th.

iOS 26 launches on September 15th, and brings new Apple Intelligence features like Visual Intelligence, which is basically Apple's version of Circle to Search. Other new AI features include Live Translation. I'll cover iOS 26 in a later article. But I want to mention a new feature in iOS 26. Apple has introduced a security feature called Memory Integrity Enforcement. This could help prevent mercenary spyware, aka targeted attacks, from compromising an iPhone's security.

The Enhanced Memory Tagging Extension (EMTE) is an always-on memory safety protection that protects key attack surfaces like the kernel and over 70 userland processes. It is supported by secure typed allocators and tag confidentiality protections. Apple says that its mitigation limits the effective reach of Spectre V1 leaks at virtually zero CPU cost. The Cupertino company believes this will make mercenary spyware more expensive and difficult to develop and maintain, and it could disrupt many exploitation techniques used by hackers.

Here are my thoughts about the new iPhone 17 series (as an iPhone 13 user).

If I had to choose one, I'd probably pick the base iPhone 17, it's the most affordable of the lot, and now has almost all the features a user may want, whether as a new buyer or someone looking to upgrade from an older model. My iPhone 13 feels compact, maybe even a bit tiny with its 6.1-inch screen compared to most modern phones. I prefer using a lighter phone, but the iPhone 17's 6.3-inch display may not be too big to feel uncomfortable, plus the weight difference is just 3g more. But the iPhone Air's 6.5-inch screen might could make reaching the top of the screen a little difficult, but the fact that the handset weighs 12g lighter than the base model is crazy. It also means the device has a smaller battery, and that is a compromise that I don't like. My iPhone 13 has 4GB RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 60Hz display, the iPhone 17 has 8GB RAM, 256GB of storage and a 120Hz display. That's literally double the specs, while still maintaining the price tag at $799 (at least in the U.S.).

The Pro models are good for those who want a larger battery, and aren't bothered by the price tag. The iPhone 17 Air is an odd choice, it's only a $100 cheaper, but has a slightly bigger display and a titanium frame. But the fact that it has a single camera on the back, and a single speaker, is a bit of a concern. If you can afford the iPhone Air, I think it's probably worth stretching your budget and go for the Pro. On the other hand, the dual-tone finish on the Pro makes it look less premium. Otherwise, go for the iPhone 17 base model, as it seems to offer the best value for money.

YouTube Music: Google trying to make lyrics a Premium plan exclusive

gHacks Technology News - mer, 09/10/2025 - 13:03

YouTube Music users who use the free version of Google's music service may soon use the site without the ability to display song lyrics. More or less anyone may visit the main YouTube Music website to play music. You can even do so without an account, but that means that certain features are limited or not available as all.

Users who sign in gain access to playlists that they may create, get personal recommendations, and other features. All users of YouTube Music may display lyrics of the song that is playing on the site. A click on lyrics display them on YouTube Music.

Reports suggest that Google is trialing to move the lyrics feature behind a paywall. A Reddit user published a screenshot of YouTube Music that showed the limitation. It states "you have three views remaining. Unlock lyrics with Premium" in the lyrics tab.

Lyrics won't be displayed anymore when the limit is reached. Google has not published a statement regarding the limitation at this point. We reached out to Google but have not heard back yet.

Our own tests showed no signs of lyrics limits on YouTube Premium. We ran tests with and without accounts, on the web and in the mobile versions. Google is likely running tests or experiments to test the waters. It does so often to test user reactions before rolling out a feature to more users or cancelling the rollout.

Google is not the only company that tried to make lyrics a premium feature. Spotify tried the same, but decided against it after it received heavy criticism. Whether user outcry will be enough to convince Google to do the same remains to be seen.

For now, if you are affected and not signed in to an account, try private browsing mode or a different browser, As a signed in user, your options are limited. You could try signing out and in again, or clearing the entire cache.

You could also switch to a different service. Spotify, for example, does not restrict lyrics on its platform.

Google has started to go after Premium account abuses recently as well.

Now You: do you use a music streaming service? If so, which and why that one?

Windows 10 resists its end: usage share climbs while Windows 11's falls

gHacks Technology News - mer, 09/10/2025 - 01:27

Next month, Microsoft is ending support for home editions of its Windows 10 operating system officially. While users may extend support by one year -- business customers get three -- the number of users who will take up Microsoft's offer is unclear. The extension is more or less free, as you get it as a consumer when you enable the backup functionality during the signup process. There is even a tool for that that lets you do all that with a local account and as little interaction as possible.

Recently, Windows 11, the successor of Windows 10, has been gaining traction. While it led the leaderboard of the most popular operating system on Valve's highly influential Steam gaming platform for some time, it passed Windows 10 at Statcounter's monthly OS popularity ranking in July for the first time.

Being newer and with the advantage that its main competitor is on its last months of support, one could predict the trend easily. Windows 10 usage declines naturally, as users start to migrate to Windows 11, if their devices are compatible, upgrade by bypassing compatibility checks, or buy entirely new PCs.

But in August 2025, stats reversed seemingly, at least according to Statcounter. Windows 11 usage dropped by four points from 53 percent to 49 percent. Windows 10's usage jumped three points to 45 percent. Even the out-of-support Windows 7 operating system jumped by 1.5 points to more than three percent usage, according to Statcounter.

Does this mean that users moved back to Windows 10? Reverted the upgrade or even downgraded their machines, where possible? It seems highly unlikely that this is the main cause for the reversal. Statcounter claims to pull the statistics from billions of visits of users each month. While that sounds much, its stats are not a true reflection of the actual market share of each operating system or browser.

There is also the possibility that the calculation was off in a given month. We know more next month. We could see another reversal, Windows 11 climbing again, Windows 10 and falling.

Windows 10's usage share will decline in the coming months. While part of the userbase will extend support by joining the ESU program, another part will upgrade their machines to Windows 11 or buy new PCs entirely. Yes, some may also switch to Linux.

Now You: which version of Windows do you use, and why?

Firefox to end support for 32-bit Linux in 2026

gHacks Technology News - mar, 09/09/2025 - 22:17

Mozilla has announced that it will end support for Firefox on 32-bit Linux systems in 2026. This shouldn't affect most users, but still it's something worth mentioning.

It may seem surprising that Mozilla has supported 32-bit Linux for so long, and indeed it has. For reference, Google Chrome ended support for 32-bit Linux in 2016. So in 2026, Mozilla will have supported 32-bit Linux for ten years longer than Chrome did. That's pretty cool.

How many people still use Linux 32 bit? I can't find the exact statistics about it, but I took a look at the Firefox Public Data Report's Hardware section. It appears that, as of August 2025, 86.761% of Firefox users are on 64-bit computers. 4.550% of users have a 64-bit ARM computer, I'm assuming that includes Apple Silicon Macs, and Snapdragon computers. Only 8.689% of Firefox users have a 32-bit computer. It's unclear how many Linux 32-bit users this translates to.

Mozilla's announcement says 32-bit Linux is not supported by many Linux distros, and that maintaining a version of Firefox for the platform has become harder. Most Linux distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora require a 64-bit processor. Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) still supports 32-bit systems. Debian 13 lets you run 32-bit apps, but the distro itself has dropped support for the i386 architecture. Debian 12 is still supported, LTS ends on June 30, 2028. I'm sure there are other distros that support 32-bit, but it's becoming rarer.

Firefox 144 will be the last version to support 32-bit Linux, it's not far away. According to Mozilla's release calendar, Firefox 144 will be released on October 14, 2025. Hey, that's when Windows 10 reaches end of life too. Firefox 145 and above will be 64-bit only. If you are using a 32-bit Linux machine, don't worry just yet. Mozilla says it will continue to support 32-bit Linux in Firefox ESR 140 builds so you can stay on that version until September 2026 to continue receiving security updates.

Support for Firefox ESR 115 has been extended several times to support Windows 7, 8, 8.1, macOS 10.12 to 10.14, so there is a chance that Mozilla may extend the same courtesy for 32-bit Linux users as well.

I can't say I've seen a 32-bit computer since maybe a netbook or two in 2010 or earlier. Looking at the Wikipedia entries for Intel and AMD processors show that both processor manufacturers stopped making 32-bit only CPUs nearly 20 years ago. Unless your computer has a processor that's from the early 2000s or older, you don't have to be worried. That is, unless you are using Linux 32-bit on a system that supports 64-bit for some reason, in which case you just need to switch to a 64-bit version of the distro.

Mozilla is encouraging 32-bit users to move to a 64-bit operating system, to continue using future versions of Firefox.

Are you still using a 32-bit OS?

OpenAI's first AI chip could be launched in 2026

gHacks Technology News - mar, 09/09/2025 - 18:37

OpenAI could be entering the hardware market soon. The San Francisco company is reportedly prepping to launch its own AI-chip in 2026.

This would allow it to reduce its reliance on Nvidia and AMD chips to train and run its large language models, such as GPT, which as you may know powers ChatGPT.  It's not just them, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta are all working on their own AI chips. On the consumer side of things, Neural Processing Units (NPUs) are already a part in many computers. Experts believe that in a few years, most PCs that are sold will be an AI PC.

Now, this is not the first time we have heard about OpenAI's plans about an artificial intelligence chip. Some leaks from last year suggested that OpenAI had chosen Broadcom to co-develop its in-house AI chip. Once the designs were ready, they would be sent to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) for fabrication, i.e., to manufacture OpenAI's AI chips next year. OpenAI had hired former Google TPU engineer, Richard Ho, to lead its hardware division. Ho is spearheading the chip design team, which had been expanded from 20 members to 40 in February this year. This clearly indicated things were speeding up.

The Verge quotes a recent article published by the Financial Times, which said that its sources told it that OpenAI has partnered with Broadcom to produce its chips. These chips would be used internally to power its services, and not sold to customers. A day later, a report by Reuters said that Broadcom landed a $10 billion AI chip order from a new customer. While Broadcom did not name the customer, market analysts believe that it is none other than OpenAI.

OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, recently mentioned on X, that the company would be "doubling our compute fleet over the next 5 months". This was a reference to the growing need for GPUs, as it continues to evolve its data hungry models. I suppose they need more powerful chips to more efficiently milk every last drop of data from users.

Google reveals Gemini usage limits for free and paid users

gHacks Technology News - lun, 09/08/2025 - 22:22

Google's Gemini AI has been around for two years, from the days when it was still called Bard. But Google never really revealed Gemini usage limits for users.

Well, now we know the details. 9to5google spotted an update to a support page that lists the various limits across Gemini apps.

Those without a Google AI Plan, i.e. free users, get up to 5 prompts per day using Gemini 2.5 Pro and a 32,000 context window. Free users can get up to 5 Deep Research reports per month using Gemini 2.5 Flash. Image generation and editing is limited up to 100 images per day for free users. Audio Overviews have a limit count of 20, and this applies to all tiers. All users have access to the 2.5 Flash model. Access to Canvas, Gems, and Storybook vary depending on the selected model.

The first paid tier, Google AI Pro, which costs $19.99 per month, allows up to 100 Gemini 2.5 Pro prompts per day, up to 20 Deep Research posts per day using Gemini 2.5 Pro, and up to 1,000 AI image generations per day. In addition to this, Pro users can generate up to 3 videos per day using the Veo 3 Fast model. Google AI subscribers get priority access to some new features, and have up to 10 active actions.

The Google AI Ultra subscription, which costs $249.99 per month, get up to 500 prompts using Gemini 2.5 Pro, 200 Deep Research reports, and 1,000 image generation prompts per day. Ultra subscribers also get access to 10 Deep Think prompts per day with a 192,000 token context window. They can generate up to 5 videos per day using the Veo 3 model.

As for checking if you're close to a limit, you can't do that manually, Google says Gemini Apps will automatically notify you when you're close to hitting the limit. If you reach your limit, the apps will display a notification that tells you when the limits will be reset.

When I try to visit the support page from India, it doesn't show the exact limits, but some of them seem to be more or less the same. I had to use a VPN to connect to the U.S. or Europe to get the precise details. I'm not sure whether the page is updated on a regional basis. Or is it possible that there could be different limits based on the region?

I just took a quick look at the subscription prices here, Gemini Pro costs INR 1,950 ($22.12), and Gemini Pro Ultra costs INR 24,500 ($277.96). That's more expensive than the pricing in the U.S., for fewer features?
