I'm not sure but Dolby Atmos might be responsible for some of it. Dolby Atmos lets the engineers assign coordinate values to each "sound object" in the scene, then your receiver takes that information, along with the room calibration mic info and your speaker layout, and actually generates the channels itself based on the listeners position within the scene. As an example, if an object is moving from front to rear then the engineers no longer have to pan it between channels, just tell the coordinate system that the sound is moving "that way" and let the receiver take care of it. Maybe engineers just not putting as much work into making discrete channel audio mixes anymore when the "gold standard" no longer uses discrete channels/tracks.
In the early days of television, directors really only had the choice of using theater trained actors since those were all that existed. Theater actors are trained to speak in that way so that they can be clearly understood on stage even without mics. But people don't actually speak that way, and modern directors seem to have a preference for "natural performances" so I wouldn't necessarily blame the actors. They may just be doing what they've been directed to do.
This is more or less the plot to Palm Springs. Dude gets stuck in a time loop the day of his cheating girlfriend's friend's wedding that he doesn't wanna be at, full of people he doesn't know, in the middle of the desert. It's implied that he was stuck in there for hundreds of years because he knows every intimate detail about everyone in town pretty much.
A friend of mine just installed CachyOS Desktop Edition (plasma) and I brought up the HDR calibration in windows, thinking that was something linux still didn't have. Turns out at least some DEs (i think thats a DE thing?) do have decent HDR support now. I still want RTX features tho.
People suck, hopefully you were able to take her to court for defamation because what she did is almost the definition of libel where I live (Maryland, US).
I will say that I would absolutely be championing linux if not for relying way too much on RTX features For example, their inverse tone mapping (SDR-to-HDR) is far far superior to the Windows AutoHDR solution as long as you're willing to spend a bit of time tuning it for your display. That said, if anyone wants to do an equivalent trade for a freshly re-pasted 3080 10GB I might consider going AMD lol.
Damn, that sucks. It's been forever since I set that one so I checked and it looks like I'm using the registry edit method for that particular one. My start menu has looked like this for as long as I can remember so I'm not sure what's keeping it from changing with updates. searching for anything not on my local system results in 'no results found'
edit I am using OOSU10 but unless it has some auto-reset feature then it isn't what's keeping my changes in place through upgrades. I'm even on the beta channel for windows.
I've never had that issue on Professional editions of Windows 10 or 11. Home edition? Maybe. But Pro lets you override almost anything you want with group policies.
Sharing info about de-banking is cool but lets try to keep the FUD out of it. What the so-called "ENDING CRIME AND DISORDER ON AMERICA’S STREETS" order says regarding this seems mostly contained in Sec. 3, which basically threatens to pull housing and urban development funds from states that don't meet the administrations crazy rules.
. I also see nothing to validate your claim that folks with a mental health diagnosis need three addresses (two back-up addresses implies the existence of a third main address).
Cannot stress this method enough especially for information heavy books. Listening while reading alo
That's really interesting. I've never tried this but I imagine it would take a bit of practice to sync your reading speed with the audiobook speed, but that could just be me. One thing that has helped me in the past is trying to voice each character distinctly in my head (this is the only way I made it most of the way through Trails in the Sky) but that also slows my reading way down. Which now that I put two and two together probably has something to do with it 😅
This could also just be from ADHD burnout. Many ADHD kids make it through to adulthood by burning up 10 times the energy of our peers. By the time we do get there our reserves can be absolutely shot. I haven't made it back to reading books yet but I have found that I can sink into new non-digital hobbies like horticulture. My guess is that it uses a mental energy well that I haven't tapped yet, at least not completely.
