After comparing the sound quality of Amazon, Spotify, Deezer and Tidal, the dynamic range of Tidal really stood out - even in lowest quality. At that time, I read that Tidal had the highest payout to the artists. I also like that the service is partially owned by several artists.

The recommendations and feeds are really top notch, just the right mix of stuff I know and like and nice surprises. The "Daily Discovery" often explores a certain genre or mood. There are so many cool bands I've found - also from genres I don't usually listen to. I can wholeheartedly recommend the service.

Komme mir langsam vor wie in dem Film Brazil, ständig Anschläge und alles ist einfach so bizarr.

My hot take: of it's open source and they don't receive money from me, I don't really care.

Despite all their drawbacks, I'm keeping my Fairphone and Framework laptop. On the phone, I've replaced the USB socket and the battery, and have upgraded the motherboard on my laptop. It's cheaper and keeps me locked in their ecosystems. Everyone wins, including the environment!

I grew up in the States but never was a citizen. In second grade after a while of this silly ceremony I asked the teacher if I really had to participate, because it didn't really apply to me. And the teacher was totally cool with it!

It was even wierder afterwards, being the only one sitting and watching everyone.

Read that the battery life of the Go isn't remarkable. How is it used as a tablet?

But this is not just any abacus, it's one that calculates all the results at once. That is a disruptive leap forward in computing power.

Because quantum physics. A qubit isn't 0 or 1, it's both and everything in between. You get a result as a distribution, not as distinct values.

Qubits are represented as (for example) quantumly entangled electron spins. And due to the nature of quantum physics, they are not very stable, and you cannot measure a value without influencing it.

Granted, my knowledge of quantum computing is very hand-wavy.

To this day I can't fully understand why they did it.
