Does the world REALLY need another car? Apple or otherwise.

nope, we do not need another car. what we need are more walkable and bikeable passages.

if we must continue building roads and highways for multi-passenger vehicles that usually transport one person per vehicle, then there should be as many continuous millions of miles of walkable and bikeable passages as there are roads and highways built; and all parking lots should have at least 25 percent soft scape with trees and solar panels to provide shade to help reduce the heat island effect. apple's corporate office is an example (not the only one) of how all developers from small to large should think when they "develop". we can do better, but is anyone else willing to think and do outside of the box?

Good. Diversifying the supply chain more can’t happen fast enough. At the very least it should improve stability. 

hear, hear, it is about time.

the manufacturing industry has placed too much of their eggs in one basket. it has been the elephant in the room for decades, but it took a pandemic to make everyone take notice and committing to diversifying their resources and productions. fingers crossed.

i think another factor to consider is that many women usually have less disposable income than men. 

so perhaps women probably chose the best of the most affordable to them from the lineup of different models from previous to latest.

a poorly engineered recording is just that, poorly engineered. so no effort using spatial audio technology is going to fix that unless the engineer does it right in the first place in the recording studio.

this goes for “lossless” as well, if the recording is poorly done then you will get poor playback in “lossless” quality.

unless it is done right at the start, it is just garbage in, garbage out.

i imagine ransomware hackers doing something with this.
