Bit depth affects noise floor, not frequency range.
You are correct that the noise floor of 16 bit is well within the limits of human hearing, making 24 bit redundant outside of production.
Spotify maxes out at 256k, so you’re just wrong there.
I’ve been using it for quite a while now… it’s fine. This happens literally every single time a new windows version comes out.
The only genuinely bad Windows IME was ME. Vista had driver teething problems, and 8 had a weird UI, but outside of that… they’re all just fine.
I’ve been building PCs since the late 90s and have pirated Windows from 98 on up.

“Cogs” - did you really just use a slur they invented for Deus Ex game as a real slur? Gonna call them clanks and hanzers too?
Even if you did, you realize those are in universe slurs and indicate the person is ignorant, right?
Middle one is slightly better but far from music. It’s not mind blowing to me. If I didn’t have the suggestion I’d not guess this even a song.
That’s where I disagree, it’s not recognizable as music - at least not without prior prompting.
Great read, thanks for sharing.
Did you listen to the clip? It’s barely recognizable as any song.
I don’t disagree necessarily, I just see it this way.
There’s a drug problem: why are people turning to drugs for escapism? It indicates an underlying issue with society and/or our relationship with drugs.
Along the same lines, why are we so hostile towards one another? Reducing the number of guns would reduce the number of people shot, but it wouldn’t address the hostility.
It’s just more complicated than “regulate X” no matter how good or common sense those regulations are.
My concern is that people only pursue the regulations, don’t address the social issue (much harder), and we end up with what prohibition created - a more robust black market.
Thanks for this analogy, it’s going to help me see the world in a funnier light.
I’d still contend the issue is demand, and that is the root issue. Other solutions are treating the symptom, not the cause.
Let’s make them illegal, like drugs, because that works great.
The demand for guns in the US is high; if you don’t think this would become a lucrative black market you’re foolish.
The solution is more involved than just “regulate X”. Something is deeply fucked that isn’t going to be simply solved with a law, and could make things worse despite great intentions, just like prohibition did.
If the demand isn’t addressed, the problem will still exist. Same as prostitution and drugs.
It’s right in the fine print. “Au10tix”, lmao.
“His management has left scientists reconsidering the value of X” is a funny line
Check out the documentary Zero Days (2016) if you haven’t already. That’s not really a tinfoil hat take these days IMO.

Flowing robes 100%, literally designed for being in the heat and sun. 35C isn’t even that bad, it’s hotter in Texas.
Even better, they approved even more funding for rail. As much as I like to see things transitioning to electricity, batteries are not the future - at least in their current state.
