nobody cares because the press is afraid to do their jobs. they are spoon fed shit from the government and other Big Things(tm) and they are not going to bite the hand. this is how things have been for over 20 years, now. our press is castrated and useless.
people are not told what is going on. how many people have read about the widespread h1b abuse? no one. every normie I talk to and tell this about, its all new to them. they act (and its real) like they never heard anything about this.
the news does not do their job. they are like domesticated dogs. they learned that they could be wild and fight for food, or be tame and get food for just begging and being 'good' to humans. the media is called a lapdog and its not a coincidence.
control the media and you control the message. our government learned that well and, sadly, executed well on it.
our people are kept ignorant by 'news' and 'entertainment' (including sports and the latest R vs D distraction).
one that actually understands content inside packets and rewrites them or ack's, back to the sender, that all is peachy and fine but does not forward the packet to the end host.
basically, SDN but meant to HELP people and not just fuck with them. and yes, some SDN in the industry is for evil purposes (I used to work for a company that was big into SDN...)
I have not heard of anyone having a smart(er) firewall that can reject the MS forced updates. I think there is a need for one.
guys, go make one and you'll make bank. no end user wants to HAVE to take forced updates. and clearly, this filtering now has to run off-box. to really work, it can't be on the same metal as the win10 system.
lots of bad hype and bad info; and that confuses the issue. but once you remove the bad info, the good info does make sense.
i2s, spdif, receiver chips, dac chips, file processing and DSP on the files.
if I'm going to 'do things' to photo files, I do it at raw and full bit depth. well, audio is becoming like that and even vol control is a dsp math operation. you want high bit depth for doing math on files.
what I agree with you on is: at the final stage, you COULD pump out audio at 44.1k rate and even at 16bit res, once all the maths are done. but there's no harm in leaving the vol-controlled or eq-fixed audio in high bit rate. dacs and stuff like it that way and there's just no down side to leaving it in high res format.
one more bit of info that you have obviously not thought about. maybe this will be of general interest to geeks.
some hardware can't accept higher samplerates. I have a crossover that 'stops' at 96k via its spdif-in. this is not uncommon.
some audio files are being released in 176k and 192k and even other stuff, dsd being one. I need to re-code such files if I am to send them digitally to my playback system.
having the CONSUMER files (not masters, but stuff you and I get) be as high res as possible, in both directions (time and amplitude) makes any resampling much better. I can downsample 176.4 to my 96k (or 44.1k) limit and have ok sounding files, done on the fly, for my mostly-digital playback system (I try to keep things as digital 'numbers' for as long as possible, just before the final D/A phases).
yes, most people don't need that. it does not really hurt, though. 16 bits did not convey enough dyn range to allow digital volume control to be useful (past, say, -10db down). with 24 bits, you -can- do digital volume control a lot further down before the s/n ruins things.
on the wire, 16bit vs 24 bit takes no extra space; as the extra 8 bits were already just header bits and crap that was not needed, anyway. going from 44.1 to 96 does take up more wire bandwidth but even simple opto toslink blocks and - mostly - handle 96k.
clock recover at the higher bitrates is also more reliable than resynthing clock from, say, 44.1 streams.
anyway, most of the reasons are tech and not about human hearing.
I've heard (not sure if true; any ac want to confirm?) that samsung in the US has bunks for its employees and many are expected to stay long hours that require bed reset -onsite-.
I think its common for samsung overseas; but do they do that, here, in the US?
you are right. americans are broken. like animals that start spirited, but when controlled by humans long enough, they break and become their slaves.
we have become virtual slaves to our corp masters.
we have allowed them to reduce our benefits, reduce our pay, increase work hours, force us to train replacements that are offshored or onshored, cut insurance, cut benefits. oh, and now we all have to endure this 'open office' bullshit that pretty much annoys everyone, whether they are honest and admit it or not.
yeah, americans have given up on freedom. and I say this as someone born and raised here, over 50 years. its a damned shame that we have been so tamed by our masters.
even worse, some don't even see that they have a master/slave relationship. some even seem to like it and think that their bosses really do care about them and that they are precious valueable little snowflakes.
we are lost. sometimes, I really wonder what our future is.
all large companies in the bay area abuse the h1b program.
when I go for an interview, many times I'm the only caucasion there; and everyone else is indian.
does this fairly represent the locale? does this give fair chance to those born and raised here?
I've been out of work since march of this year.
I'm really tired of this shit. work a job for a bit, then get laid off and be off for months if not longer. for now until I die, it will probably be like this.
its a wonder tech ceo's have not been targets of violence. just give it time, though. to create local 'terrorists' all you need is to push people to the edge where they think they have nothing left.
tech ceo's: see the writing on the wall, PLEASE, before its too late.
Digital was part of computer history and if you are ANY kind of computer science person, not knowing what DEC was means you are not really educated. it was too important a company to have not known about.
Not to mention his ignorance regarding fundamental tenets of the Constitution.
agreed.
and btw, thanks for saying 'tenets' and not 'tenents'. the constitution has been rented out enough and its a bit tired from all the abuse. it needs some alone-time and maybe some ice cream.

ok, well.... maybe we don't need a movie for that. forget I even mentioned it.

how can you know? MS has gone off the deep end, buried bad code in 'patches' and won't level with us what they do.
a year ago, I turned off updates. I locked down my win7 installs.
nothing is going to make me accept another MS patch. from now until windows ceases to exist, I will never install another MS patch.
I do most of my work on linux and I very rarely use windows for network things. if I get owned, I'll restore from backups.
MS has lied too many times; I just cannot trust them. I'll take my chances on my own, thank you very much.

fwiw
tl;dr; its not about hearing, its about working with DAC chipsets, spdif and i2s inputs, and also brickwall filtering and post DAC i/v stages.
you are somewhat right, but you don't know everything...
mpd.
lots of cclients to pick from.

I came in one day to find I was replaced by an arduino.
that arduino better watch its step, though. there's a 4bit controller that is itching to take its job, and will take much less pow^H^Hay.
did they know you were coming, with advance warning?
(j/k)
thx for the data point.

one works for the other.
at the heart of it, they have a common boss.
that said, the police are scumbags to sink this low. if they want to spy, do it under color of LAW instead of COWERING behind some corp costume.
pathetic.
zero respect for the thugs in blue. every day, I hear more bullshit about the disfunctional police in the US.
sickening. truly.
that's just fucking sad.
Digital was part of computer history and if you are ANY kind of computer science person, not knowing what DEC was means you are not really educated. it was too important a company to have not known about.

I wonder, can we go back to using ducks and scales? at least there, you have some transparency.
