Because there is value in a large group speaking with a unified voice to say “this is wrong, and you need to know that the rest of us think it’s wrong. Your behavior will affect the relationship you have with us all going forward”. Direct intervention isn’t the only form of consequence.

Is it the best solution to the problem? No. Is it still worth doing? Yes.

I don’t give a shit about David Hasselhoff, but Knight Rider without Mr Feeney as KITT wouldn’t be the same

“What the fuck is the internet?”

Then Ben Affleck would show them movie poop shoot dot com to demonstrate

Bahnnngggg

Have you enabled Developer Options=> USB Debugging?

You can turn it off again after. Instructions here: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options

In theory you could take frequency response measurements inside your car and use those :p

On my Edge+ 2023, there is a tile in the pulldown menu for Dolby. It may be hidden; go to “rearrange tiles” to add or remove it"

The AutoEQ project is actively updated with a repo on GitHub. You may be able to download the “GraphicEQ” file from this page Search that page for “Jabra Elite”

The DUMP setting can usually be enabled via ADB (simple connection to a PC). Instructions here if you search for “Enhanced session detection” on Wavelet’s site

You can use WebADB without installing anything on your PC.

It’s not just Moto. I dislike Dolby Atmos for everything except improving the sound of small speakers (laptops, phone speakers, etc) or when the media itself is recorded and mixed with it in mind

I find most of what Dolby does to be ridiculously bass-heavy and destroys the mids. That includes their headphones. You lose a lot of detail and the sound stage becomes muddy. It’s plenty wide but so overwhelmed by bass that other details are lost

IMO it’s overpriced basic-consumer-focused crap that takes advantage of people who think what they need is just more bass

I have a moto and hate Dolby Atmos for headphones

Instead, turn that shit completely off and get an app called “Wavelet”. Use the AutoEQ function with your headphones model.

The purpose of the AutoEQ is to return audio to “studio reference” EQ based on the measured frequency response curve of the model of headphones you have

If it still sounds bad to your ears then there are two possibilities:

1. The hardware is defective. You could try getting it replaced

2. Your old phone has settings that were so bass-heavy that your sense of what’s “right” has changed

I recommend trying out AutoEQ on another device that you know works. Make sure that all other audio processing is disabled when using AutoEQ. This will give you a good baseline to compare against

On Windows you can get AutoEQ using EqualizerAPO + HeSuVi (a front-end for setting up EqualizerAPO to enable custom virtual surround sound and AutoEQ)

Totally agree. Not sure why I’m being downvoted to oblivion for providing objectively factual statements about the content of the vote.

You’re right. It’s fucked. I’m just trying to provide clarity to an ambiguous post title

Not that it matters but what they actually voted on was using the numbers provided by the Gaza ministry of health as they claim those numbers are propaganda and not based in fact.

Still shitty but not “you aren’t allowed to count the dead” shitty

I’m an effort to get you an answer that isn’t dismissive:

1. Youth indoctrination, social conformity, and cultural isolation. If your parents, friends, and most of your community tells you something is true, you are unlikely to challenge it for a variety of reasons including trust (most of what they’ve taught you works for your daily life), tribal identity, etc

2. People naturally fear death, and one coping strategy for the existential fear of death is to convince yourself that the death of your body is not the end of your existence. Science does not provide a pathway to this coping strategy so people will accept or create belief systems that quell that fear, even in the face of contradictory evidence. Relieving the pressure of that fear is a strong motivator.

3. Release of responsibility. When there is no higher power to dictate moral absolutes, we are left feeling responsible for the complex decisions around what is or isn’t the appropriate course of action. And that shit is complicated and often anxiety inducing. Many people find comfort in offloading that work to a third party.

That it would be viewed as awkward and unwelcome by the other participants. Consent is key, yo

I go for the hug when I see friends I haven’t seen in a long time, or when I’m parting ways with someone I know I won’t see for a while. But it’s definitely not a regular occurrence

No, it’s not socially acceptable. Yes, I wish it were. I don’t know if I’d go for full on snuggling but I come from a physically affectionate family and in general wish people were more comfortable with that kind of thing

Can you tell us what you’ve tried already?

I have used FoxIt for a long time but might be considered “overpowered” and not sure how it does in tablet mode
