How to recognize words
  • The phenomenon I think you’re referring to is semantic satiation (thanks Ted Lasso!). It has to do with semantic memory and I think the effect can happen to anyone in the right setting. But if you’re noticing a difference or having trouble you may want to speak to your primary care physician about semantic memory disorders.

  • Has the James Webb Space Telescope found signs of life on Europa?
  • This “law” doesn’t really hold up, according to that article’s studies section. I wholeheartedly agree that it’s a dirty and gross way to head something; but it was more interesting that the answer appears to more often be “yes”. Problem is there are so few examples of it (comparatively).

  • You probably are. West coast is best coast!

    If you haven’t already, check out USFS MVUM maps for where you live. I’m still finding a mapping app that I don’t hate, but even the Garmin Tread app will show you what should be motorcycle-accessible trails near you. Just turn on the toggles and zoom in close enough. I found a couple ORV parks within riding distance I never knew about by doing that.

    Taken last weekend on a fun ride with my dad through some FS roads around Elbe, WA. From this spot we could turn around and see Adams and St Helens.

    I loves me some adventure riding.

    Cardo unit won’t play music, but voice commands and calls work

    After some hopeless button mashing this weekend, I think I’ve accessed some undocumented/unapparent features that I can’t factory reset myself out of. And the behavior is following the PackTalk Bold. I’ve paired it to an iphone, iPad, and windows PC. In all cases, media controls work (device plays and pauses). I can even trigger Siri with the cardo command, and then I can interact with Siri and hear Siri’s responses. But if I try to play music I hear nothing - not just quiet but no audio. Same with radio.

    I have a couple of theories, but nothing helpful. Could be trying to broadcast to some nonexistent group - but I still don’t know why it’s not playing locally. Or maybe it’s something to do with the A2DP profile specifically? This unit has played music audio before.

    What works:

    • voice commands (“hey cardo, foo”, “hey siri”)
    • media control (start/pause, next/previous track, etc)
    • phone calls

    What doesn’t work:

    • cardo isn’t talking back (no voice responses, just beeps) - I thought I figured out how to toggle this but can’t find it now.
    • music doesn’t play over the speakers, even though beeps and phone audio like phone calls and Siri interactions do

    What I’ve tried:

    • all the resets that I can find in the manual (phone pairing, Bluetooth pairing/grouping, dmc pairing/grouping)
    • factory reset
    • paired with iPhone, iPad, and windows pc
    • reflashed latest firmware with cardo update on pc

    Anyone have some magic answers?

    Update: Had a brief exchange with support and they’re having me ship it back and sending a replacement. They have a 2 year hardware warranty standard which is awesome. I’m convinced it’s some undocumented feature to change the voice responses to chirps, which seems nice. But not having music is not nice.
