Just here to share that if you haven't tried Apple Music for its lossless and Dolby Atmos sound quality then you really, really, should. Apple Music does not have a great UI but it is definitely worth the trade off. Tidal sounds great, but they make you pay extra for lossless and have a smaller catalogue.
So the bigger news here is GCP had a global outage. How'd that happen? It mentions a pipeline deployment introduced a bug ( https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/LuGcJVjNTeC5Sb9pSJ... ) but why weren't they doing staged deployments to region(s) at a time?
A recent example, Firefox's Jan 2022 outage was due to an unannounced change deployed by GCP to their load balancers.

I've read several GCP related stories over the years so my opinion of them has fallen quite a bit. For some reason GCP does not get the flak they deserve, and their role in outages tend to be downplayed, while AWS and Azure are scrutinized and raked over the coals for smaller incidents.

This is now 'par for the course' with GCP.

> lossless and Dolby Atmos sound quality General headphone recommendation? Best I have is an MDR-7506 but I don't think it's meant for listening rather producing.

Reminder that Apple pays artists better too (average penny per stream over Spotify's average 3-4 tenths of a penny per stream). And that Spotify is led by people who think artists who want that level of compensation are "entitled": https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2021/06/29/spotify-executiv...
Obviously Apple can afford to pay a lot lot more. Now obviously you can say that if they can't afford it they shouldn't be in business, but you can say the exact same for the record labels/artists. They can just pull their songs from Spotify.

Google doesn't need to announce every change they make. It was Firefox's fault for not supporting the protocol correctly.
