I was thinking maybe it has to do with 0-63 being 64 numbers which could be a small convenient bit storage. But that’s 6 fucking bits which as far as I know nothing really stores in values lower than a byte. Maybe there is some chip somewhere and 6 bits are used for volume and the other bits are getting used for other things. It’s still a very weird value to have
My car uses an even more fucked scale. It tops out at 63, of all numbers.
It’s because the volume is stored in a 2^6
My Corolla goes up one from 63 to “max” , which is a number I’ve never heard of.
Hyundai?
Mazda

Even a fucking boolean is stored in a byte.
Right? A 6bit number makes so little sense. Where’d the other bits go, what did they do with them, why can’t we have a full byte??
