@macdigger Oh gosh we’ve been doing surround sound in cars for 30 years — PolitiTweet.org

@toxicpath (Also I am not at all a Rush fan so I don’t know for sure but the main difference in the spatial Tom Sawyer mix to my ears is that it’s louder and louder always sounds “better”) — PolitiTweet.org

@greengart It just keeps winning, for decades now. I think it might just be better! — PolitiTweet.org

@toxicpath There’s always one thing. I had Sticky Fingers in SACD and it was incredible! https://t.co/wxDQYAHJPv — PolitiTweet.org

@mosportturn2 …interesting and lots of potential? I think music and movies are just totally different audio experiences — PolitiTweet.org

@davegreenway how do you think I ended up tweeting about Atmos at 145am, this energy has to go somewhere — PolitiTweet.org

@SpikeHK This was true of Pro Logic II music, of Super CD, of quadraphonic audio… you name it — PolitiTweet.org

@tooape People used to buy dedicated reverb units for their home stereos, anything is possible https://t.co/Qx54wzz29f — PolitiTweet.org

I remain an Atmos stan for movies, where precisely locating sound has a huge impact. I just think there’s a reason stereo music has survived every wacky multichannel idea for decades: it’s better — PolitiTweet.org

Turned Apple Music spatial audio off for good. I appreciate the effort but it’s a lot of complication for everything to sound slightly more hollow. The 3DTV of music. — PolitiTweet.org

Btw - no Vergecast tomorrow, as @backlon and I are both traveling back to the Midwest for the holiday weekend. Happy Fourth, celebrate independence from the British by admitting that gin is bad — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway, every time the debate about tiktok dance copyright flares up I’d like us all to imagine cops doing the renegade to trigger ContentID — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

That said, it makes perfect sense that a bunch of cops created an urban legend about how playing pop songs would prevent videos being shared, because automated copyright systems are inherently broken — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

Cops trying to exploit automated copyright systems to keep videos off social platforms is just the most dystopian thing. It is also stupid and destined to focus even more attention on these videos, because this ain’t how it works. https://t.co/LWW6I6jjU7 — PolitiTweet.org

@loudmouthjulia congrats and I hope your first report as an analyst can viewed in both landscape and portrait orientations — PolitiTweet.org

@NoughtFollowers Yes. I also think the Wisconsin GOP honestly believed Foxconn would build an LCD factory! — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@NoughtFollowers You know, with this one they looked at a brick wall, everyone pointed out the brick wall, and they ran into it headfirst. I am less alarmed by a swift and thorough loss in court than I am about many other things — PolitiTweet.org

Anyhow, politicians like to make noise about 230 because levying the threat of changing 230 against platforms is an effective way of influencing moderation policies, because actually writing laws that impose moderation policy runs into the hard reality of the First Amendment — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

It really is incredible how the entire Florida state GOP rallied around a law that imposed speech regulations with glaring (and hilarious!) First Amendment issues and proudly passed it as some sort of victory for free speech. — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

That pesky First Amendment, always getting in the way of GOP speech regulations https://t.co/iHXESmzdgi — PolitiTweet.org

The horror of the trade regulator having opinions about trade that aren't aligned with Amazon! — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

After years of watching the FCC "regulate" telecom with a revolving door of industry plants, Amazon is all -- why not us too? https://t.co/WrYkKPbN7y — PolitiTweet.org
