Yeah, it was (and still is) a feature that was added to the RSS protocol.

Apple didn't invent the concept of podcasts, but they sure popularized them. They used to be called syndicated audio, and were pretty niche. Then Apple added it as a feature of iTunes. The idea was that because your iPod didn't have any wifi or data connection, you couldn't listen to new content while out and about. So you would plug your iPod into your computer with iTunes to sync down all the latest content before you leave for the day. Then they needed feeds of new content to provide to the users, so lots of new episodicals were started, and Apple grouped them under the umbrella of "podcasts".
Apple never made a product called iTouch. You're thinking of a product called "iPod Touch". It was the touchscreen version of the iPod (without the iconic clickwheel). The first one was essentially a slimmer iPhone 3G without a cellular modem.
I worked in an electronics repair store just after they came out. We replaced hundreds of broken screens on them. The sheer number of people who called them "iTouch" was surprising, considering Apple never called it that.
The fact that high end music streaming platforms are only just now starting to offer super high bitrate lossless "CD Quality" audio as an option, gives you an indication of how good CDs actually are as a physical medium.
A cheap old CD player connected via SPDIF to a modern mid-range DAC with decent speakers will give you better quality audio than the latest Sonos system streaming from Spotify.
It's certainly a bad sign if you leave the interview and you're not sure if the job is for writing PHP or pleasuring his wife.
- Ball rolls about two feet and stops just before it rolls off the table.
- White ball, polished surface, shiny
- Male
- Tall person, slender build, light brown hair, clean shaven, white button-up collared shirt, blue jeans.
- Ball was a bit bigger than a billiard ball, but smaller than a baseball. Smooth, and heavy. Like a white cricket ball but with no seams.
- It was one of those large common fold-up trestle tables but with a white table cloth on it.
- I knew all those without having to think about it, or choose afterwards.
To me the imagery seemed like a cheesy "how to push a ball" educational video with a paid actor to demonstrate how to push the ball in the correct manner.
Motorola (technically owned by Lenovo now, but even some of the Lenovo phones are great).
I have this one. It's the best Android calculator I've used.
I love the widget feature. You can add a whole calculator to your home screen, I have it taking up my second page, so whenever I need a calculator I swipe across once and it's there.
Yep, perfectly average.
Fyi, Tidal dropped MQA in July and moved to using FLAC. https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/06/tidal-officially-dumps-mqa/ I like Qobuz too, and I support and encourage their mission in the streaming world. But personally I find more of my favourite artists are available on Tidal than on Qobuz. Unfortunately I find the tidal "station"-style playlists are also garbage. Nobody has a chance to effectively compete with Spotify's algorithm on that front.
You must be matured around my age talking about discmans like that. Although, The last "discman" i bought was a portable CD player, and wireless earbuds didn't exist.
Yes, that's what I'm referring to. All of the earphones listed above are wired earphones, and look like the kind included for free from a old portable cd player.
