Once again, a new wireless standard is rolling out. The ISOAL lossless audio codec sounds interesting... I doubt many manufacturers will implement it, since Apple AAC and Qualcomm aptX have bigger install bases: https://www.soundstagesolo.com/index.php/features/481-bluetooth-6-0-is-here-sort-of

Don't give up. The internet has created a lot of extreme behavior that simply doesn't translate in real life. Trolls trying to one-up each other in hyperbole for clicks. Pull the kids away from their phones and they'll learn to socialize like human beings again. They have no idea what AIDS really was and they think saying racist stuff is funny because they live in safety.
