Can someone answer a basic question for me?

I have an old iPhone SE (2016). It has a headphone jack. Does this mean my old iPhone can play lossless music but the latest iPhones can't?

Bluetooth technology doesn't have the bandwidth capacity to stream lossless audio, sorry. You will be listening to a compressed stream. The only way to listen lossless is wired.

Lossless is MEANINGLESS because Bluetooth audio itself is a lossy compressed stream. How are Apple going to market lossless streaming to Airpods, when such a thing is technically impossible?

They are archiving the "wrong" thing. There have been similar "archive this!" movements this year, generally focussed on online communities targetting their political opponents.

In 50 years what is going to be "hard to find" and unarchived? The things that NOBODY is talking about now! You need to be coldly unemotional and consider what your community DOES NOT CARE ABOUT. This will often be things that are politically awkward for you and your community. There will be 1000s of people archiving this event and NONE archiving events which do not suit the political narrative. Accepting this is difficult!

What is happening here is the equivalent of your parents keeping a newspaper of man first landing on the moon, which is now the most common vintage newspaper that exists.

This is free broadband? How is that sustainable?

Blaming the US for the endless violence in Honduras is typical internet nonsense.

"Our European visitors are important to us" blah blah blah

Made in China, not Tokyo.

I feel the same. Nice analogy, going to use it.

Humanity does do not live in your idealised competitive global market. There is a very limited subset of US engineers who would relocate to China.

I've been using Croc recently and it's been rock solid, and exactly what I'd been looking for. Thanks to the author.

It works on Windows, which means I can connect with most people in the world.
