so, when i am on wifi, the sound quality and app functioning are great. but when i left my place, the app got choppy. i learned i had to use mp3 quality to lower the bandwidth while i'm out and about. but you can set it so that on wifi, it's high fidelity and on 5G it's mp3. annoying, but it's fine

I signed up for Qobuz (a French streaming platform) and it has significantly better sound quality than Spotify. I tested it on computer, bluetooth speaker, wired and wireless headphones and just my phone's speaker — better on all of them. Plus they let you move over all your Spotify playlists.

It has one of the lowest conviction rates of any crime in Canada.
Infographic showing that there are 460,000 sexual assaults in Canada every year.

Out of every 1000 sexual assaults, 33 are reported to police, 29 are recorded as a crime, 12 have charges laid, 6 are prosecuted, 3 lead to a conviction. Which means, 997 assailants walk free.

I get why so many people are okay with piling on in this case because he's a tech CEO and we're living in a tech broliogarchy, so we hate these people. But surveillance culture is no bueno across the board and anytime we celebrate it, we all lose in the end.

Letter of recommendation: Vornado air circulators. I got one that can circulate air in a space up to 700 sq ft (model 810). I put it near the AC and it spread the cool air throughout the apartment, and it's still keeping the temp down even after I turned off the AC. #heatwave
