Don’t get me started on that, stupid direct led brakes lights should be outright illegal. They literally blind every following car behind, specially if the windshield is dirty or foggy.

How those damn things got approved in the first place is beyond my understanding corruption.

• For popularity>0, we got close to all tracks on the platform. The quality is the original OGG Vorbis at 160kbit/s. Metadata was added without reencoding the audio (and an archive of diff files is available to reconstruct the original files from Spotify, as well as a metadata file with original hashes and checksums).

• For popularity=0, we got files representing about half the number of listens (either original or a copy with the same ISRC). The audio is reencoded to [OGG Opus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_/(audio_format) at 75kbit/s — sounding the same to most people, but noticeable to an expert.

I think you’re confusing two different concepts, dynamic range compression and data compression.

The first is like an automated volume control that lowers the volume really really fast in a matter of ms when the volume reachest a certain threshold, (can also work the other way where in increases below a certain threshold, or both).

The reduces the file size, sacrificing quantity if a lossy codec is uses. Lossless codecs like flac are a bit to bit perfect of the original.

Downvote me all you want, but confuses me the hell when communists (both MLs and an anarchists) have iPhones.

I mean you’re supposed to support a classless society, yet you spend 1000 on an useless locked down device that lacks basic functionality and is nothing but a status symbol for the wealthy to brag how they own a product from this particular brand.

As an anecdote, I know a communist who has a Ché-Guevara wallpaper on his iPhone, I find it hilarious.

People buy 2k bikes? Those are pretty high end, common ones would be 150 or 800 if electric.

Average means nothing, the rich shift the average.

At least use the median or even better the minimum wage as standard.

No OS if fine with 8GB if you use it for anything other than browsing memes

A google pixel is very very far from being free

Too expensive

Unlocked phones are smuggled through the channel

Those come bound with both, government and criminal malware.

On the bright side pedophilia was completely eradicated and all the children are safe now.

Lol no!

Why not both?

This, but 2015

I hate to be the one defending companies but this time I have to align with the ISPs.

As a “fake fiber” client myself, there’s virtually no performance difference between the two. But “fiber” has become such a marketing slang that most clients wouldn’t signup for an ISP if they don’t sell “fiber”.

Alternatively the ISP would have to replace perfectly functional infrastructures purely for the sake of marketing, resulting in waste.
