It is not, obviously. Sure, this is how it works, nothing new here. Now, write the whole 64 TB on this disk and then read them back, compare what you'll get back with real data. :)

I don't think I ever experienced acidic / sour coffee that I liked, for me it is a very negative quality of coffee. Coffee should taste like coffee. It may have some nut notes, chocolate, something like this. Not like fruits or vine. May be because I always drink it black without milk, sugar or...

Guys, can someone recommend some good quality beans to try in the NYC area (Westchester county, in case this matters)? Fresh, with a good taste (coffee, chocolate, nuts etc.) and zero, ZERO acidity. Coffee should be coffee, not a vinegar. :facepalm: Preferably with a reasonable price. For...

It seems to last forever.

Yes, they fit perfectly on the nozzle. For me the problem is that for some reason SpinFit doesn't have CP155 in size XL - and CP155 L is even smaller then M of the original tips.

This just means that you are doing it wrong. One that looses the weight fast by an uncomfortable diet will inevitably gain the weight back, and it'll be bigger weight than the starting point before diet! Because something that is uncomfortable and causes constant hunger is unsustainable long...

Well, obviously, if this is the common situation with support then it is less then ideal - and this is, unfortunately, quite common with Chinese brands. But on the other hand it looks like in practice for the wast majority of folks it just works and works, so just buy it form a good seller who...

It depends, on the individual anatomy, I guess. I prefer IEMs with deeper insertion by far - it seems to me that deeper inside the ears the skin is less sensitive, so there is much less ear irritation and so much better comfort. And there is no this weird feeling that IEM is barely holding in...

Well, anything can have some factory defect, it doesn't seem to be widespread. Mine is still going strong from 2020, no issues at all...

Well, sonic (pressure? or whatever it is called) gun in "The Peripheral" series is not quite an explosion and doesn't really sound much but it is very impactful and impressive with a proper subwoofer. It is mostly subsonic: it is not too loud but one could feel a powerful impact with the whole...

And now you are just trolling. There are in fact plenty of technical reasons why Bluetooth objectively sacrifices sound quality, starting from the simple facts that it is a) utilizes lossy compression and b) "properly implemented" Bluetooth headphones are as rare as hen's teeth. Sure, it is...

IMHO all foam tips attenuate HF and create a comfortable "dark"sound. That's why I never use them.

AFAIK usually AVR headphone out is just a checklist item and it is recommended to never use it.

Hmm, an oversight? As a software engineer, I see an opportunity for TCP-A (TCP for Audio)! It'll provide 100% compatibility with TCP (to the point of being indistinguishable) and ensure that packets with audio data are treated well. For a modest additional fee... Imagine TCP-A certified switches...

You seem to assume that all IEMs sound "small" compared to over the ear full size headphones. This, however, is a very wrong assumption. For example, the very well known, popular and valued by many for its sound quality Sennheiser HD600 can't compete in this area at all - many IEMs will easily...
