To be fair, I'm not sure if Windows alone is to blame in this case. If you're not familiar with Windows and try to clean a PC that isn't yours, it's probably hard to tell what was user installed, what was pre-installed b

Plus, turning a junior into a senior developer isn't exactly a boolean switch, that is turned over night. It's a process and that junior developer will spend a lot of intermediate time between both states, in which he's still

I disagree as well. Any decent audio engineer will know that placing tracks, instruments and certain elements slightly, or widely, off-center is essential to a good recording.

I'm so tired of this evil label narrative. It's unfair to reduce them to those 5 major labels. Particularly on Bandcamp there are countless small, honest labels that act as a curator and really help to develop their artists while

Very true. Plus, neither the Netflix app on windows nor the web app are able to set an appropriate display refresh rate that fits the frame rate of the content when going into fullscreen mode. Unless I manually set the refresh rate in the O

Yes, that's probably all true. I just wanted them to aim slightly higher, but let's not forget that this needs to have appeal to the masses that already consider a $300 speaker expensive. Most audio people see that as the minimum

Ok, I think I read in another comment of yours that your talking about 550 tracks in collection? At such a low number I'd skip the playlist management and just sync the whole collection. At that point it's a non-issue as everythin

As a fellow german I also didn't have the chance to listen to a HomePod yet so this is speculation, but as an audio enthusiast I'm baffled by the idea of using it for its sound quality. Aren't there countless better options?

I think you're wrong. Or you consider the step of adding a song to your sync playlist harder than checking for every song manually when changing phones? I find that hard to believe. If you select a playlist to be synced you only need t

In light of those current issues I wish David Simon would revisit Baltimore and "The Wire". However I guess he's busy with "The Deuce" these days.

That's not a credit card. In Germany we call it an ec card or Girocard, it's a debit card. The amount is deducted immediately from your bank account when using it and it requires PIN and chip.

I highly doubt that any of your friends use a player that can't play FLAC or ALAC - any decent player does these days. And if you really need the occassional lossy copy it's trivial to quickly create one with XLD or similar tools.

Why would you rip your collection to a lossy format like MP3? Sure, you're probably going to explain how you don't hear a difference which is fair, but a lossless format like FLAC or ALAC (recommended if you're in the Apple e

My guess is it's even more popular outside the US, or anywhere where credit cards aren't that common - like europe. We link our banking account to Paypal and use it to have instant payments (and fulfillment) without credit cards.

I agree - from afar there seems to be a very unique culture of fear and urge to "protect" prevalent in the US. I was reading a reddit discussion some time ago, where most commenters concluded that it's fine to shoot a burglar
