How about Apple bring down the hammer on apps that are abusing notifications right now (or you just uninstall them), instead of allowing ways to shove more ads into peoples eyeballs. There is no scenario where this is a benefit to the consu

The only way that makes sense to me, is that "mutti" is a short form of "mutter" in german, which means mother. So a "mom car". Disclaimer: I'm not english, and only half german.

I agree, but it's not very different from Alexa or Google Home, and people are buying those, for some reason.

Windows and iOS/OSX badly needs LTS branches. Either that, or stop releasing major versions annually. But that would put lots of marketing people out of a job. PS: I know Win10 LTSB exists, but that's enterprise only.

Bit-depth reduction is counter-productive. You're just adding noise to the signal, and reducing the dynamic range. As for resampling, it depends on the specifics of the resampler used by a specific codec implementation. If a resampler

No, you can't, because if people are unable to speak their mind on one platform, they will move to another or go underground. I would prefer it, if people with terrible ideas were kept out in the open, where their ideas can be debated,
