I feel her pain. It took me a long time to get comfortable with the Kinesis, and even longer to be able to go back and forth with my gaming keyboard seamlessly

As suggested by the other commenter, o-rings are the best cheap solution.

Another option that works if your keyboard has a hollow body is sound-dampening insulation inside the frame.

I have a Kinesis Advantage that has a ton of negative space inside and simply putting some non-conductive foam inside the shell made a huge difference in the amount of noise it makes

It’s literally a multiplayer competitive shooter. That’s the game.

You’re correct on all fronts, but I guess what I would point out is that those design elements were a staple of the FF franchise long before 7. It was another turn based strategy role playing game in a series of turn based strategy role playing games. With OOT you had a real time action adventure franchise with a game using design elements you’d expect from…well, from a turn based strategy role playing game xD

That’s where I have issues with OOT in hindsight. It stumbled in executing on its own self-image, whereas FF7 did a better of job of understanding itself

OOT is objectively bad in hindsight, despite having played it like 20 times myself because of the place it holds in my memory as being something I’d never experienced before. Here’s the argument: https://youtu.be/XOC3vixnj_0?si=xnuSdmY942tBQGpp

FF7 has its flaws but IMO is a better designed game

“What the fuck is the internet?”

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

Bahnnngggg

To my knowledge it wasn’t his decision. It was Kathleen Kennedy. Poe was a favorite among kids and helped sell a boatload of X-Wing toys. He was seen as the “Han Solo of the sequels” and Disney execs all but forced Rian to give him screen time. They couldn’t really reduce Rey’s role so Finn got screwed

I’m with you 100% on everything you wrote here and I’ve had this argument with my brother countless times. He blames Rian Johnson for everything bad about the sequels and it’s bs.

Personally I think the biggest thing TLJ suffered from was the split focus between Poe and Finn. It made both stories rushed or weak in various places.

And for that I blame Disney. Did you know that Poe wasn’t even supposed to be a big character? He was supposed to be in the first scene of Ep7 and that’s it. But execs saw his performance and insisted they needed his character to play a bigger role. As such, we get attention split between Poe and Finn and both suffer for it.

I feel awful for John Boyega who was such a massive Star Wars fan, got the role of his dreams, and then effectively got sidelined for a pretty-boy.

My solution for this type of situation is MicroBin running on my home network from a non-standard port, with a port knocker to open and close the port when needed.

My router handle DDNS so I can always contact my home network easily. I port-knock to trigger an iptables command on the router to forward traffic to the MicroBin host.

I also have my phone set up to connect via openvpn to my home network so that I can remotely do things like start and stop services, set port forwarding rules, etc.

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)

I’ve always understood the colloquial meanings in practice today to be that atheism is active disbelief where agnosticism is essentially choosing not to choose (for lack of information).

I understand your point, linguistically and philosophically, but I don’t really think that’s how most people - even atheists and agnostics - use the terms today.

Literally nobody. This is confusing atheism with agnosticism.

Or, if I’m being charitable, they’re confusing the starting position and the conclusion. If you start from a position of neutrality and follow evidence-based reasoning, the conclusion is either atheism or agnosticism.

So… What you say is… Luv love Mi-do? But do Yu know Ai love Yu?

What is Luv?

I’m not going to retype my explanation of why this is a childish view of the situation. You can read my other comments in a different fork of this thread if you want to learn why this is self-righteous, self-satisfying crap. That’s what YOU want. It’s not what’s actually best for JB or Kyle.

Glad there’s at least one other person here who gets that this wasn’t a political decision but a PR one
