That is good indeed. I was reading that the numbers are higher than 200 ms. https://semiserious.blog/airpods-pro Is the latency under A2DP mode specified somewhere?

Interesting! So much higher than for neutrinos. One follow up question. When reading about low-light cameras, the number of photons per pixel seem much smaller. I guess the following factors are involved: Several orders of magnitude redu

What would be the number of photons falling per second on the same? :-)

I hear the latency is high, which is a challenge for all wireless earphones. So good for music and calls, but not for videos, games, singing. Do I understand correctly? :-)

Yes, I agree to that.

Why not? Airplanes designed by humans fly. Calculators designed by humans calculate faster too.

For backups that I can safeguard physically (as opposed to cloud), I just copy files uncompressed and unencrypted using FreeFileSync and Syncback. Restoring now is as easy as media swap.

This is very nice. It found a song I was looking for. It takes me to iTunes for purchase. And boom. They don't seem to be selling the song in India. I hate such policies by various stores.

It is all basic stuff indeed. The video, while it is good at explaining energy flow, is not giving the complete picture. Several comments there and here are providing the correct solutions.

In the video itself, he stated that electricity propagates from the battery at the speed of light when he describes the diagram. I think what he has missed describing is that the wire folds carry capacitance (and inductance). The capacitan

Same for me. It's not so explicit for me to say that it's just like it's actually happening. However, perhaps a few same neurons are firing as if it were for real.

I agree overall. The diversity over the time leads to innovations too.
