It’s also worth checking out Atoms for Peace. It’s Thom York, Flea (from red hot chilli peppers) and the producer of radio head (whatever his name is).

Is it just me or are people also using hands up instead of hands down? As in: this is hands down/up the best post I’ve read all day.

As a non English native this always throws me off.

This is how I do it. I have all my media on a raid 5 tho. Broken hdds are unavoidable in the long run, so I want protection for that. If something goes sideways at rebuilding, so be it. Most of the movies and shows I’m wondering what I save them for anyways. My music collection is worth more to me and backed up properly. Same goes for my personal stuff.

I’d argue, that lower frequencies (male voices) are harder to understand, because built in tv speaker struggle to reproduce them. The attenuation should not really matter in a closed room, a size that normal people can afford.

Other than that I think you are totally right.
