There's only so many people who can afford to spend $60,000+ on a car

I've got MacOS 13 running on a 2010 MacBook Pro with OpenCore Legacy Patcher. It's not the fastest laptop but it runs way better than you'd expect a first gen mobile i7 to handle a modern OS

Hey, they could have taken the Google option and let the phones die at 20% charge because there was too much voltage draw for the aging battery to handle

Yeah, it was Lion and even before then it was something like $35 to upgrade which was less than the cost to upgrade Windows at the time.

Two of them, in fact

HTC Evo 4G, and I was living in an area with WiMax at the time too. It felt so futuristic coming from a Blackberry.

It sounds like MusicBrainz Picard would fit your needs well. It can do acoustic fingerprinting to find tags for poorly tagged files, it works on all major OSes, and it can organize your music folder pretty much however you want it to. The one thing I think it's not great at is album art but there are plenty of tools to handle that

I think it's pasta

Not to mention the fact that almost all music is recorded in .wav files nowadays, and the “lossless” versions are usually just synthetically upscaled for the audiophile crowd

WAV and FLAC are both lossless, the reason people use FLAC is because WAV doesn't (or didn't) have good support for tags and FLAC has lossless file compression while WAV usually is uncompressed. There isn't any sort of "upscaling" that is done.

Personally, I think a quality v0 or 320kb/s MP3 is perfectly fine for listening but I'm always going to prefer storing lossless audio so I can convert the files to whatever format I want/need. I've moved around between MP3, AAC, and Opus for different devices and if I didn't have the FLAC files I would either have to redownload files or do lossy to lossy transcodes

It never was. That quote was an offhand comment by a developer evangelist that everyone ran with as the official word from Microsoft

Not every conflict is between nations and the infobox has to work across different conflicts. Belligerents is probably the best option to label the sides of a conflict
