  • For me personally, until a month ago I had no idea why people would prefer to watch at faster speed.

    Then I was assigned 10 hours of training at work, and it was all the worst fucking videos you’ve ever seen, no editing for clarity or brevity, points being repeated ad nausea. Repeating footage. And it’s not like I could skip vast portions of it, I never knew when a little piece of key information would be snuck in which was in the knowledge test.

    Finally said to myself fuck this and I put it on 2x. I found it kind of life-changing in that moment and I’m going to consider using faster watch speeds from now on.



  • Agreed, and this article is written backwards.

    Problem: Audio is a low power (relatively low data) signal that goes over wire. Audio data (not audio) sent via USB needs decoding into audio before it gets sent down the headphone wire. Implementation fails due to insufficient bandwidth. Graphs and textual details go into details about the bottlenecks.
