I don't know exactly what top speeds I used, above 2.5x, under 5x, but I listened to some lectures on youtube as a background process to doing some work. I would be sure I have missed something, as I worked so I had this practice of just setting the video time back and checking if it is stuff that I already know. I was amazed to see that mostly all data was retained already and I had the feeling of listening to the same stuff twice.

These speeds were already non-comprehensive to my colleagues, but I thought there is no point in trying to get used to higher speeds, and to see the author processing these kinds of flows of data is just inspiring and amazing, Ill try to get better. But I am not planing on listening to code :D

I see my limit is now around 3x, and FYI Lex Fridman is much easier on the ears at 3x then the guests. :D
Also helpful, try listening to something for a minute at higher speeds e.g. 5x and slow down to 2.5x or 3x after that for a warm up.
