  • Phone speakers these days are fairly decent. Will good headphones/speakers with a good DAC and AMP and a lossless audio file sound better? Well, duh. Are phone speakers adequate for the vast majority of people who aren't audiosnobs, sorry, audiophiles? Also yes. Just don't be that asshole using speakers in public spaces.

  • I would expect it to debunk those claims while it's at it. Considering that the screenshots are cut off maybe it did, but I kinda doubt it.

  • Seriously, it's a horrible argument to make in favour of real art. Who reads that and goes "sounds great, I'm in"? Yep. Nobody.

  • Das ist irgendwie unfair. Der Stollentroll ist deutlich sympathischer als Merz.

  • Milchstraße in German, which translates to milk road.

  • Usually the henchmen are actively attacking the protagonists, while the villain is already (seemingly) defeated by the time this line is uttered.

  • That's a vast oversimplification of the thought process and emotions that's going on there and an extremely uncharitable one at that (most people have their own lives to worry about, it's usually less "I can't drive where I want to" and more "I have to get to work"), but essentially yes. That's the reality you have to work with.

  • Those do work better. Antagonising the people whose support you rely on to effect change is a horrible strategy, the more of a disturbance protests cause to the average person, the less likely said average person is to be supportive.

  • Defending ourselves and our allies may sadly be a necessity in the not too distant future. Thank Putin.

  • Es ist ja nicht Mal ein 5% Ziel, es ist ein 3,5% Ziel. Die anderen 1,5% gehen in militärisch nutzbare Infrastruktur wie Eisenbahnen, Straßen, Brücken, Häfen, etc.

  • Let's not beat around the bush here, he wants it to sprout fascist propaganda.

  • Kind of, yes. A lot of it is historical accounts of varying credibility. But it's important to always be aware that those accounts were written centuries after the events that they're telling us about, and are heavily mythologised and extremely biased.

  • It's really not much of a flex (all you need is a strong transmitter), and it's almost certainly not intended as one. They're doing it because the Israeli and American military use GPS for navigation and targeting.

  • The Arc B580 is pretty good for what it is. Yes it's worse than the RX 9060, but it's also about $100 cheaper. If you're playing at 1080p it's a perfectly valid choice.

  • Gold is a physical good with intrinsic value and real uses beyond it being valuable.

    ETA - gold is also generally bought as an investment (or jewellery/decorative purposes, or for industrial use), not for use as a currency.

  • Well then, as someone under 35 - can someone please explain?
