Bio-based materials... sounds a lot like poop. Guess I better read the article.

People were listening to low-quality audio all the time before things went digital. The radio was the most popular way to listen to music for a very long time and it was not high quality until relatively recently. There was vinyl for a while, but many people just bought cheap turntables and didn't see a need to spend the money for a quality one. Audio cassettes were far from lossless, and people would put them into cheap stereos or they used cheap headphones. Cheap headphones have been used for many decades.
My point is that the general public has never really cared about audio quality, and the people who do care have always had ways to hear quality sound. I don't think that has changed at all (or if anything, quality has become cheaper to achieve, so more people can afford it).

I remember the LG G8’s speakers needed to be on a surface the more hollow the surface the better so it could amplify. It was neat but the iPhone speakers and HTC boom sound (front facing grilled speakers) were noticeably better.

They have that on ps5. It is software based. It can make any soundbar sound like it has speakers behind you.

In most cases the land is the most expensive part of having a house. If you want affordable houses stop using half an acre for a single family in urban areas. New construction techniques is cool though.

People want to believe there is something strikingly different about the Federal Reserve Bank (a private entity) and the Dollar. It really is just another shitcoin produced by insiders for nothing. Meanwhile, we have a sound money that is a technological innovation that won't be outdone for awhile, with no insiders, no permission required, no middlemen, no reliance on physical security or power projection, real scarcity, digitally native.
The cost to produce $1 is the same as producing $100 or $1 Billion or $6 Trillion.
Humans have trouble thinking in exponents... I use this example to show how large of a number $1 Trillion is compared to $1 Billion.
A million seconds is about 12 days.
A billion seconds is about 32 years.
A trillion seconds is 32,000 years...
The cost to produce example goes for every FIAT currency that exists globally. They are all digital ledger entries. And it is a permissioned landscape, wherein if you become an enemy of the state (easily these days), you are ostracized. Look at Kanye. Look at Venezuela. Look at Romania. Look at Turkey.
Billions of people NEED something like Bitcoin. The modern financial landscape excludes them, on purpose. For an in-group to exist, there must be an out-group.

I want to know more about these bio resins. Do they break down? And if so, how long does this house last before it starts leaking?

I’m right there with you - but I’m wondering if my love of good music in quality playback form is the reason my hearing is shite….

"How can I increase the low frequency (bass) sound being produced by the exciter?
Bass and low frequency sound are enhanced greatly when using larger panels or increased areas of substrate. Additionally, using a heavier substrate will allow deeper bass to be achieved, but at the expense of reduced treble output."

The worst part of it is my hearing is so shite now I wouldn't notice the lack of quality, so it's a shame the youngsters aren't experiencing it now whilst they can.

Well, the key word in my post was *set* as in multiple speakers.
I also assumed a large *set* of speakers and assumed a heavier than average speaker to show that the weight savings, even at the high end, is insignificant in terms of total vehicle weight.

> A lot of younger folks don't care about audio quality
I think its also the fact that most easily accessible listening devices are shit. Cheap earphones that come with your phone or that you can purchase easily? Shit in 90% of cases. Want wireless buds for under $200? Shit once again.
You can get good audio quality for an affordable price, but you have to be into the hobby to even learn about it. I wouldn't even blame it on lossy Bluetooth protocols, it's more about the shitty V-shaped sound signatures.

This, it's easy to build something. But can it stand for the next 30+ years?
