    The Sound Guys do a good job of breaking down LDAC, however the main point of criticism I have about the article is that they say that LDAC isn’t great because most smartphones don’t auto-choose the highest 990 bitrate. That doesn’t seem like an LDAC problem, that seems like a phone problem. My phone is admittedly a Sony, but it always chooses the highest bitrate first. There’s even a setting to force it to use 990.

    The other criticism I have is that the sound guys kind of overlook the fact that, when your phone is in your pocket, it’s close enough to the headphones that you’ll almost always get the 990 bitrate. And the sound quality at 990 is fantastic. I cannot tell a difference between it and a wired connection for CD-quality FLACs. Even the 660 stepdown bitrate of the LDAC codec is really good.





  • Intersex people exist. Sex is not just genitals. Sex is not just reproductive organs. Sex is not just chromosomes. Sex is complicated and messy. Sex is not binary in any way that it can be defined. (Trump’s executive order denies all of this, intentionally.)

    Sex is not synonymous with gender in today’s language.

    Gender is a social construct. Gender is how we see ourselves and what we show to the world. Gender is also complicated and messy and not binary.

    But really, his intent with this executive order is to erase legal recognition of trans people. Many trans people will no longer be able to have their proper sex on their passports and other legal documentation. This opens the doors to massive discrimination – and violence – against trans people in all aspects of society.

    Trans people will be left without proper identification, without equal access to employment or housing, further reduction in freedom of movement between the states, and further reduction in freedom to travel abroad without being outed. Trans people will face increased discrimination, harassment, and violence.

    This is the intention of today’s EO.

    I implore you to rethink your position on this subject.
