@SASMEX Ver esto en México es una maravilla. Gracias por su trabajo! 🫡

I think this image just suggests (confirms?) that ATV can now passthrough full bitstreams (like Dolby TrueHD with Atmos) to an AVR (fwiw 9.1.6 is just a layout) meaning it’s no longer decoding to lossy DD+ internally. Third-party apps can now send lossless Atmos with full object metadata, enabling layouts beyond 7.1.4.

For reference, the https://t.co/oZXar0PLh4 already did this using private APIs, which is why layouts like 9.1.6 (or larger) worked before. Now, tvOS 26 opens that up to everyone.

@VicktorManuel Nada lo impide técnicamente, aunque si hay que estar en horario NY de preferencia, le sufrí mucho desde allá.

Ando buscando banda que saque proyectos y tenga buenas prácticas, mándame DM con apps/portfolio y correo :)

[Christian Roman @chroman]

Amigos, me recuerdan quién hace iOS desde LATAM?

Busco iOS dev Senior (Contractor) para trabajar con un equipo de Seniors/Principals con cliente de alto perfil (USA), 100% remoto, full-time, hourly rate de 60-70 USD mínimo.

Requisitos: Ser realmente bueno, team-player y bastante confiable.

DMs abiertos 💜

[Christian Roman @chroman]

@VicktorManuel Si, por dónde andas? Me estoy quedando por Sumida. Saca plan

@alejandrozepe Seguido encuentras cada joya 😂

I’m not sure if you’re allowed to talk about this, but how is SH2 on PC able to scale Dolby Atmos and render beautifully through all speakers compared to other games, which 99% are fixed to 7.1.4 only? Is SH2 using a custom audio engine (PC) or is this Tempest metadata injected into an Atmos container? This is truly state-of-the-art stuff

[Christian Roman @chroman]

Silent Hill 2 + Dolby Atmos audio is quite possibly the scariest and most tense experience to ever exist in gaming.

Congrats @BlooberTeam @ArekReikowski 👏

[Christian Roman @chroman]

@BlairWitchHunt3 @BlooberTeam @ArekReikowski I can definitely see them taking the sound award this year.

[Christian Roman @chroman]

@OrenGiladi @BlooberTeam @ArekReikowski SH2 is definitely going to take the sound award this year.

[Christian Roman @chroman]

@Wargod234 @BlooberTeam @ArekReikowski Even in 7.1.4 layout, the experience is going to be absolutely insane; these little sounds everywhere are fantastic

[Christian Roman @chroman]

@FilipZeglen @BlooberTeam @ArekReikowski Congrats to the entire team! This is absolutely insane. You all have set the bar incredibly high 👏

[Christian Roman @chroman]

Yup. It’s 100% object-based. There’s a bug (either in the processor software or the system) where objects do not render visually. But this is just how sounds are played from the object’s metadata in a large speaker layout. I’m using a Trinnov Altitude processor, which has an object/sound visualizer for Dolby Atmos.

[Christian Roman @chroman]

@ArekReikowski @BlooberTeam Not in 32 channels yet, but in a very close layout (17.1.10) 🙂

But they way it scales, hearing *every* detail in larger speaker layouts, is absolutely INSANE 👌

[Christian Roman @chroman]

El hack para ser Contractor y que te vaya bien, del que nadie habla:

1. Conseguir un gig de 2-3 meses con un rate alto.
2. Superar las expectativas y que el contrato dure años.

[Christian Roman @chroman]

@oliverloops Ya ni alcanza para tanto, Mexico se ha vuelto caro pero aun así sigue siendo valido el argumento.

Me recordó que he visto a mis compañeros de NYC buscando departamentos de 3mil 4mil dólares, encima lo que pagan de impuestos 🥲

[Christian Roman @chroman]

Con un gran asterisco obviamente pero la mayoría de Leads/Principal/Staff en México ganan menos que un Junior/Entry-level en US.

[Dmitrii Kovanikov @ChShersh]

A Senior Engineer in Europe earns less than a Junior Engineer in the US

[Christian Roman @chroman]

@kevosho Depende mucho de la ciudad.

[Christian Roman @chroman]

Cada vez que anuncian promociones en el trabajo y veo a compañeros pasar de software engineers a managers:

Tenías gran potencial, hermano 🥲
