I was impressed when iTunes added the option to get your album in .flac. And while I acknowledge there’s a lot of placebo effect with audiophillia, I still argue space is cheap and you never know how good your ears and sound system may get in the future.

I laughed out loud at this. I know the Reddit sub always makes this joke. Does it have origins before that?

I believe you so this is a genuine question: did you ever test your kbps threshold for being able to distinguish from lossless?

I remember in the MP3 and Winamp days, I was convinced I could detect anything below 192 kbps. Obviously depends on the content, and I’m implying 44 kHz minimum.

A good read

The fruit classification seems insane to me. Maybe I’m unfamiliar with dishes that use it as a sweet?

Does that store have a separate aisle with canned beans, or is it just one big canned-things aisle?

I want to know about this shared soapy ass bar and also I don’t.

I liked the switches analogy! Generally about binary though; I agree it doesn’t connect back to the number of users application.

And yeah most important number…sounds like they were quoting an LLM.

This feels weird, but I agree with you, internet stranger.
