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
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 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.
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.

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

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