Yeah, FFMPEG famously had a troubled AAC encoder for a long time. It's a bit better since FFMPEG 5.0 was released recently. There is a huge difference between AAC as a codec and the quality of file FFMPEG can generate for it.

The movie ended with "James Bond will return". There's not even an implied end of the series. They pretty proudly showed off that it was continuing.

They did. Two comments ago. But it's in Swedish so you probably won't be able to read it.

Manufacturing Consent is such an interesting book. The framework of analysis Herman and Chomsky present is general enough that it, while approaching almost 40 years old, still very accurately seems to describe the current media landscape. C

You're right. I misread the question and thought they asked why they weren't using symmetric keys for everything. My bad.
