MP3 and Vorbis have bad latency. There's not much reason not to use Opus, which has better quality/bitrate and lower latency.

You can buy the consumables for a paint job for a few dozen bucks, and then charge for a day or two of labor. You make 800 eur. Selling labor is how your body shop makes money. Or you can buy a new bumper for 600 eur, charge a thin margin

In my experience honda parts do match 1:1 and I don't think they'd waste the effort on maintaining a stock of pre-painted parts if the receiving body shop was going to have to paint it anyway.

Someone bumped my rear last year and their insurance company had me take the car to a body shop.. to be re-painted. I don't know what final cost was but I heard an estimate that put it at roughly the value of a new bumper. Of course

I can download DVD images over insecure transport and then check their signature. Not so if I'm piping code straight to shell from a http server.

Which one of these bugs would have been prevented by unit tests? Probably none, because you'd have to know about the bug in order to craft a test that exploits it.

Tldw? What do you mean by timing? Measuring time (down to nanoseconds) is easy. Hard realtime scheduling with microsecond precision... just forget about it, unless you're building a custom distro & custom kernel and have in-depth

I kind of agree with your point, with the caveat that I just don't want to spend much money if I'm not getting much out of it. I'd happily buy a book for 200 eur if I knew it's going to be worth my time. In the recent
