that's not what it means. content is consumed on a per person basis and once consumed that person will need new and different content. this is why we create new content. it has been consumed by enough people that they want something new.

we are in a human centipede model, someone creates the content and feeds it to the first consumer. the content must be excreted from the first consumer before it can be consumed by the second consumer, and so on.

calling it "consumed" is a shorthand for saying viewed/heard/read for a particular piece of content without having to specify the means by which the content is consumed

"content" is itself short for tv show/movie/book/song/album/podcast/web video/etc.

after a podcast is listened to it is marked as "consumed" and then disappears from my phone for someone else to listen to.

an uncompressed stereo audio stream is only about 1.5 mbps. bluetooth 4 supports "up to" 25 mbps

i have no idea why bluetooth audio still sucks. you would think uncompressed audio would be the norm now

Apple doesn't support the chosen format of uncompressed audio, FLAC.

Is there any difference between Apple Lossless and FLAC in terms of quality or is it just nerd audiophile poo poo?

cheap as poo poo hardware at every point in the signal chain because consumers have proven they don't care that their bluetooth audio accessories sound worse than fm radio

the fault isn't just Apple being a special snowflake, Bluetooth devices are just generally poo poo at negotiating which audio format to use. my old car used to default to the lowest bitrate possible when it connected to my phone for A2DP and would stay there until you trigger the Bluetooth speakerphone mode after which it would resume playing at much better quality. who knows why.

if Apple does go with high bitrate headphones it is gonna be funny when a bunch of Apple users are all crammed into a close space. Bluetooth gets really lovely when the 2.4GHz band gets congested.

deep in my heart of hearts i hope that the actual iphone 7 announcement will show off a phone that does include a headphone jack and tim will use the announcement to demonstrate that they have committed to combating leaks and will use the recent spate of them as a way to root out leakers

the phone will still be too big with a very bad os but some dreams are just too big

he's right though, think about porn. while it's not "consumed" in the sense that it's gone, everything it offers, it's essence, the reason why you would watch it, is gone

I mean not exclusively there are
some tv shows worth rewatching and some porn clips are just so perfectly debaucherous
