    The irony of the meme being that the food critic ends up loving Remy’s ratatouille. Meaning Bluetooth would bring him to a simpler time like the ratatouille did in the movie

      i feel like there was a time where wireless audio devices were just too expensive and too low battery to be worth it, but now we’re well past that point and i can buy a pair of true wireless earplugs with ANC for 40 bucks, and that’s pretty good!

      really the only real complaint i have is that i do not see the point of “true wireless” when you could just have a wire between them and be able to add more battery capacity while also reducing the risk of them being lost.

      Back when he grew up just listening to music rather than being a bitter adult worrying about bitrates.

        When I was a kid, I used to drop my CD rips down to a 32,000kHz sample rate to make the WAV files smaller, because I couldn’t figure out MP3s yet. Adult me is horrified by the notion. But back then, sounding good enough was acceptable.

          I used to download AMVs using YT to MP4 sites, then play back the audio on my phone instead of just downloading the music.

      this was my exact experience tbh. I hated the idea of Bluetooth headphones, I had tried some 5ish years ago and they were horrendous, even though they were a relatively high end pair. last year I said fuck it and got another high end pair, and I love them. ldac capable, so it’s 990kbs so I don’t have any complaints at all about the sound, and the probability is great and I don’t have to worry about charging them nearly as much as I assumed I would.
