And how did it pay for it? Pawpal!

This is way more accurate

I don’t expect the current government to ever fix the second part, though.

I think he was talking about the con_ in consequence

Interesting. Thanks. Now I’ll have an informed eye twitch. :)

Volume… Tons…

Eye twitch

Impedance mismatch between two pieces of equipment (amplifier and speaker, in this case) is a thing, and depending on how the amplifier is built can be a problem. But for the piece of wire connecting them to behave like a transmission line it needs to be a significant fraction of the wavelength of the signal, which at audio frequency is quite a lot, so unless you have your amplifier on the other side of town it is totally irrelevant. The guy was blabbing nonsense. We didn’t talk about quarks.

Resistance can reduce the volume. E.g. if your wires are too thin for the current you want to send over them. The guy was talking about impedance.

Once someone tried to tell me that the wrong cable impedance to the speakers affected sound. Asked him what is the wavelength at audio frequencies, conversation died.

That’s the joke. They would claim that … I don’t know… electrons are going to fall off that copper wire or something like that.

Are you body shaming the satellite dishes?

This joke resonates with me.

In addition to all the good suggestions already here, consider installing early-oom and configure it to kill the stuff you care less, maybe one of those heavy electron-based clients.

Deep down, we still love them.

Very deep.

Nice, I got myself the over the ear momentum 4, along with the BT dongle. Was almost ready to return it, because of shitty audio when playing music on the computer. Instead all that was necessary to do was setting the profile to audio output only. If it is set to output+input (i.e. with the microphone on) it defaults to phone call quality. Properly set it sounds very good. The only downside is that guess where they made…?
