  Png is the right choice as it is lossless. Jpg works well for photos but it’s not designed for abstract depictions such as the lines, panes and texts in applications and web sites. Meaning artifacts become noticeable with smaller jpg file sizes.

  Article says 47 Wh/kg. Thats around a third of LFP cells. But the power density is way higher. Meaning it can do enormous peak currents.

  For grid energy storage, energy density is not the most important factor, but the power density is a great plus. It means these cells can rapidly charge or discharge in the grid, offering flexibility to buffer in any way that is required. And the cycle life is also way higher.

  This, the Shuffle function should play every song exactly once, just in a random order. This is what cd players have been supporting since the late '80s.

  It is a very simple algorithm but Spotify turned it into something complex that barely works. By default, in large playlists, it will heavily prioritize some songs while others are almost never heard. People have complained about this for years and there is an option in the settings for it now, although I am not yet sure if that setting really disables all of the “smart” algorithms Spotify has associated with shuffle.
