Pretty sure Lamborghini took one look at BYD's three thousand horsepower supercar eating up the test track at 300 miles an hour and just quietly decided to ~~pivot~~ reinforce "the feel".

Edit: "reinforce" is probably a better word than "pivot" , so I'll use that, just so all those lambo apologists out there don't have to post "iTS aLwAyS bEeN aBoUT tHe fEeL."

Oh come on now, that's a defeatist attitude!

There's always scope to further extract value for shareholders!

Well they're not a charity, so my bet is on enshittification of some sort under the guise of "improving the experience for makers and users".

Ha, If you're alluding to my post being similar to generated output, you obviously haven't experienced the pure blandness of LLMs trying to write engaging content.

It's statistical blandness writ large.

The stack of single-sentence paragraphs after the introduction paragraph trying so hard to have an impact.

The tendency to put "not X, not Y, just Z" everywhere.

The perfect conclusion written at the end of each piece , summarising three bland paragraphs with yet another bland paragraph.

Statistically regurgitated bullshit, all of it

If you can't control yourself, you can always get the state to control everybody

"I can handle crack just fine! I don't know why it's outlawed!"

State control applies to a lot of addictive substances that cause material harm to society in general.

Stares hard at social media

because it is far from a secure number.

It is only the American obsession with using it as a unique identifier for everything in their lives that has caused this issue.

It was fault tolerant but I wouldn't say it was perfect. There were plenty of "known issues", and the fix in production was basically, "don't do that".

You mean "shuffle" like when you shuffle a deck of cards and have exactly the same cards still but in a different order with no single card repeating because you started out with a deck of cards and why would there suddenly be an extra card or 5 of the same face value in the deck because that's just crazy talk? That kind of shuffle?

Yeah sorry, Spotify doesn't do that.

You get oxygen free copper because you install it permanently and don’t want it to rust and fail and have to rip out your ceiling and walls

Copper wiring is protected from the elements (that is: oxygen) by its insulation. The gauge of the copper wiring is a far greater factor in audio quality than the voodoo science behind OFC.

You don't have to worry about corrosion in your speaker wiring unless your speaker installation is literally in the ocean.

All I want to know is just how many veils has that soundstage got‽ Here I am, just having a soundstage like a sucker, and they've got veils they can lift!
