Bluetooth vs. Wi-Fi Music: Which Has Better Audio Quality? Choose Wi-Fi if you can

Bild/Foto
Wi-Fi is better for music since these connections have much higher bandwidth than Bluetooth, meaning your music isn’t additionally compressed, making for higher-quality audio. Bluetooth can still sound good and is very useful (and is probably good enough), but for lossless or hi-res audio, Wi-Fi is your only option.

Bluetooth may not offer the highest-quality audio, but the good news is in many cases, this doesn’t matter much. If you’re doing most of your listening via Spotify, a higher bandwidth connection isn’t going to offer any sort of upgrade anyway (since Spotify doesn’t have the best audio quality).

Some streaming services like Tidal, Deezer, Apple Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited offer either lossless audio, hi-res audio, or both. With these, you may notice a slight upgrade in sound quality over Wi-Fi, but even that is debatable.

Buy a brand name, they said.
It costs more, but it's totally worth it in the long run, they said...

That box was kept closed, not open. This is btw a pretty common problem in the humid tropics. A lot of steel that may be labeled as "stainless" develops stains pretty quickly, once it gets here. Real Swiss army knives are holding up pretty well, everything else though...

This is an excellent description of Systems Thinking.
Definitely worth the 15 minutes, and Dr. Ackoff is funny, too!
If Russ Ackoff had given a TED Talk...

This presentation is from a 1994 event hosted by Clare Crawford-Mason and Lloyd Dobyns to capture the Learning and Legacy of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Russ knew Dr. Deming and speaks here about the difference between "continuous improvement" and "discontinuous improvement" as seen through the lens of systems thinking.

Rant: Open Source and the concept of: Release early, release often or publish early & publish often -> continuous development/continuous integration (CD/CI) -> tight loops ok but still - linking to nirvana without redirection & badly written software that everyone uses - another case of - nothing works "ok" - klarer fall von "nichts funktioniert ok"

-> it’s catastrophic, when webpages change their url setup…

https://www.heise.de/netze/Wake-on-WAN–/artikel/89304/0

because it will result in

“nothing works” “ok”

this does not have nothing to do with luck, but with:

  1. bad url management:
    • wordpress does an pretty good job there, as whenever the user changes the url (more keywords?) it will also redirect from the older past urls to the new url
      • that is how it is SUPPOSED to be for EVERY website of the (not so) “ethernal” part of the internet called www
  2. elastic search seems to be a very very badly written software that does not do any sort of software quality checks?
    • or maybe it’s wrongful integration? (but maybe it just sucks)
    • why is every developer-user using it?
  • PS: as mankind still ponders and evolves (by making mistakes) how to best deal with computers
    • yes someone said “publish early” & “publish often” (doing this with the blog… also… often too often and too early X-D)
      • or: “Release early, release often” (wiki)
        • “tight feedback loop between developers and testers or users” (wiki) - yeah sure as a developer that might be a good thing, as a user… really doubt it… - there are highly intelligent respected developers that pioneered this concept… it might work for small teams… (of one)
        • “This philosophy was popularized by Eric S. Raymond in his 1997 essay The Cathedral and the Bazaar, where Raymond stated “Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers”.[4]”“This philosophy was originally applied to the development of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, but has also been applied to closed source, commercial software development.””The alternative to the release early, release often philosophy is aiming to provide only polished, bug-free releases.[5] Advocates of RERO question that this would in fact result in higher-quality releases.[4]
      • has this lead to every developer going in the: continuous development/continuous integration direction? (definately sounds like it)
        • it really should be called CD/CI not CI/CD because first comes the development, then the integration (but well hewego: CI/CD@RedHat)
        • still pondering if it’s really a good idea - well if software quality sticks to UNIX principles of K.I.S.S (most do not and have NO IDEA what non-K.I.S.S means for their software-project or company: - it is the difference between: - lost in chaos of complexity = dysfunctionality - vs a lean stream of running smooth software-company - src: https://homepage.cs.uri.edu/~thenry/resources/unix_art/ch01s07.html - plus test-driven development: 100.000 use case checks tested afterwards automatic & semi-automatic & manual - than that probably works (but then that is what needs to be done anyway to ensure good software quality) - plus: maybe a feedback channel that does not de-motivate - always say something positive first - then the critique
        • signal.org is a very cool mobile & desktop messenger (that usually works pretty well) but: - what is already annoying: if updates per program are 100MBytes and more… (always downloads the full thing (signal.org desktop client) no differential updates?)
  • word of advice: never blindly follow “the trends”
    • always think for yourself, “does it make sense”?
      • test it if it works for you, if not, drop it, what’s the point?

imho gotta to do both…
