    I've found it to be somewhat dependent on the FM receiver's quality, although cars with extendable FM antennas are rare nowadays.

    Clementine [0] is cross-platform and the Linux version is excellent (not flawless, but never destructive). But if your music collection is already sorted into filesystem folders, all you need is VLC! [0] https://www.clementine-pl

    You'd still have to worry about the power lines, and it'd be nice to have audio while charging.

    Next time, go to a Run box and type services.msc, there you can turn off the Windows Update service, the Trusted Installer service, etc. You've got to be willing to pop the hood: admittedly MS tends to hide the hood release lever.

    Asimov's Nightfall exists in 2 versions, as a short story and as a novel. #460 on this list is "The Complete Stories Volume 1" which includes the short story version (as well as many other all-time-classic stories).

    Switching the DAC will only help with quality, not with latency, because the latency is a software issue. Samsung has implemented software workarounds to skip some parts of the audio processing path and reduce latency, but I'm not sur
