@aerozol, so explain where they got their compressed files and why they are almost free?
Artists/labels have to upload them themselves. Spotify does not have a system like YouTube, where you can monetize other peoples uploads.

Sometimes it’s hard to come up with 20 characters. 
Thanx.

What projector ??
All you need is a CRT, LED or OLED screen.
With a screen you can’t cover a whole wall and the people with the trippy artwork…

@IvanDobsky yes, you can.
That may cover part of a wall, but you still ain’t covering people \ furniture \ the cat. 
I’m thinking this:
And was surprised to see cheap Chinese knock-off kit is now under £50.

OK
Be careful with laser projectors. Eyes.

Remembers time in the 1990s we had an old school laser someone “found in a skip”, a small bit of broken mirror, LARGE speaker, wall. Run music through speaker. Suspend mirror in front of centre of speaker cone on long thread. Aim laser at mirror. Aim mirror at wall.
Ideally a large room for bigger image. Add smoke machine for bonus effects.
And yeah, try not to look at it.
Adds a “don’t try this at home” warning. The above was done by professionals and not some drunken 20somethings in a squat… 
Life before “The Matrix” was better.
We had to use an Amiga for the visuals… but worked well combined with a smoke machine on overload. Also add drugs \ alcohol. And loud music. The music is always the key.
And before “The Matrix” no one was sitting looking at their phone. 
(good to see we are now getting this thread back to truly off topic…)
Smartphones are a tragedy. A lot of people enter the crosswalk and Boom!
When it comes to computers, ZX Spectrum and Atari.
The first programs in Logo and Basic.
A tear rolls in the eye.

That is the best combo. We need something to thin out the dumb from the herd.
It’s like lions in the Serengeti - they pluck out the weak from the herd. If someone dumb enough to cross the street while looking at a phone then they need removing from the gene pool.
Maybe we could create a new sport as an update to Death Race 2000. Anyone with a phone in their hand scores 1000 points. 
Real computers only had 32K. Or a fancy 48K if you needed a gaming machine like a Spectrum. To be fair, music playback was a bit rubbish on them. And carrying all those tapes for the Walkman got a bit bulky.
Death Race is a good idea.
Those computers were 8-bit?
Amiga and Commodore probably more for graphics.
Tomorrow they could start producing 128-bit processors. Because for now they only increase cores and clocks.
To chase the rabbit.
8-bit is all you need. Humans did fine with ten fingers to count.
Amiga was 16-bit to get those fancy graphics in.
Now back to Death Race 2030. Should be able to get some of the sport channels in on this. Just think of all that modern in car footage that is now possible. Should be quadruple points for catching someone streaming live on TikTok then you’ll get point of view from both sides.

Of course. SACD is 1 bit.
Mother nature cleans up the population from time to time. Virus etc.
Ivan, would you like to have a quantum computer already?
1bit is a light switch. Are you saying SACD uses Morse Code?
Is that the one that knows everything 'cos it gets all the results at the same time? Combine that with this new Automated Idiocy (AI) and we’re gonna get all kinds of dumb. Yeah - I was watching that documentary Idiocracy only last week… think they may have got the year wrong.
The first sentence: possible, after all, even a regular CD has a hole on the surface or not.
Second sentence: Quantum computers will help a lot in predicting the weather.
It will always be impossible to predict English weather.
