I signed up for Qobuz (a French streaming platform) and it has significantly better sound quality than Spotify. I tested it on computer, bluetooth speaker, wired and wireless headphones and just my phone's speaker — better on all of them.

Letter of recommendation: Vornado air circulators. I got one that can circulate air in a space up to 700 sq ft (model 810).
I put it near the AC and it spread the cool air throughout the apartment, and it's still keeping the temp down even after I turned off the AC. #heatwave
