     >researchers created a new speculative side-channel attack they named iLeakage that works on all recent Apple devices and can extract sensitive information from the Safari web browser.

     umm, are you telling me I shouldn't be doing sensitive searches via Safari on my iPhone? I don't understand.

     This is pretty far outside the realm of individual user mitigation. It’s more like “software is still never perfectly secure, here’s a new way to attack a web browser, Apple is already mitigating it as best they can, and there’s not much you can do except avoiding suspicious links as always.”

     I had just recently thought I overcame my addiction to listening to them, and then you send this link.

     Ha, sorry not sorry! I also recommend the single Ill Wind of that era, which is very fine and often overlooked.

     This is the question we musicians are asking ourselves all the time

     Yeah, it’s just meticulously produced. Still, my brilliant friend Greg Reierson (Rare Form Mastering) might push back on that a bit. He has a list of what really makes a recording •work•, and it’s something like: performance, composition / songwriting, instrument, recording, mixing, and then the mastering, •in that order•. He’s pretty humble about where his own craft sits in importance.

     @luca_lichen @inthehands TL;DR Good audio recording/production means the artistic intent is kept intact on as many different types of speakers as possible.

     @sidereal @luca_lichen
     I think of some Pablo Casals recordings that were transferred off of old media where the production is so old / bad it doesn’t quite even sound like a cello — the sound is •terrible• — and it’s still moving, transfixing, transcendent. There’s some ineffable magic to music that really works, and production alone can’t create it; it can only preserve it.

     I haven’t tracked Albini himself well enough to have an opinion, though I’ve certainly appreciated music he’s been a part of producing!

     I understand <3
     but where this YouTube audio is going now, really makes me wish I had a sound system. or something better than a half-broken laptop.

     are you a Steve Albini fan?
     no, don't tell me- I can't take it.
