All I want to know is just how many veils has that soundstage got‽ Here I am, just having a soundstage like a sucker, and they've got veils they can lift!

But what's the point of having your newly-purchased $3000 wooden volume knob and polyatomic copper ring bus lift yet another veil from the soundstage if you're blindfolded?
I don't think most phones are useful at multitasking at all tbh. Only bare minimum
Neither are people. Human "multitasking" is basically fast task switching.
Desktops provide a convenient method of task switching using a flat area and windows, phones have a slightly different method of task switching using full screen panels. Both allow you to focus on the task at hand and switch to another task.
In Australia, to get a sufficient amount of vitamin D you just need to be outside for a few minutes a day.
Incidental exposure is enough. No deliberate cooking or tanning or seeking out the sun is needed.
Analyze Russia's today: they started "defending" kids ~10 years ago. Look where they are now. You will be there soon too.
That's both the funniest and stupidest thing I've read all week, thanks for the sad laugh.
Loosely speaking, Russia has been "where they are now" since the failure of Perestroika and the collapse of the Soviet Union some 30+ years ago. None of that was done under the guise of "defending kids", so quit your delusional ranting.
Love me a good <MARQUEE>!
Lots of things can be hooked up through it. One of the biggest things I find I like about it is the way you can merge ecosystems with it.
At home with HA I have an LG TV, Philips Hue lights, a Tapo vacuum cleaner, my EV charger, my own home made solar hot water system controller, a presence sensor that also does CO2 and temperature, a hot tub, and a few other bits and pieces. All of which can be viewed and controlled in the one interface, not the 6 or 7 apps that every individual device wants me to install.
But automations and notifications are the big thing. The presence sensor in the living room turns off the tv if nobody is in front of it for more than an hour. The EV charger tells me when the car is charged. An hour before sunset the light in my living room slowly dims on, and dims off after 9pm when the presence sensor says there's nobody around. When my solar hot water system is a bit slow to heat up on a cloudy day, I get an email telling me to turn the electric booster on (and off when the water's hot). Every Tuesday and Thursday evening the vacuum cleaner is set to clean the living areas, but it doesn't if someone is watching tv, as detected by the presence sensor and the television.
I also don't have to get off the couch to turn on a light, but the idea is that you set up automations that do all the button-pressing for you.
‘We never would have bought’: Australian mortgage holders feel the pain as interest rates rise again
"We would never have bought..."
So they got large mortgages when interest rates were down near the lowest that they have ever been in this country, since Federation.
Then it's all surprised pikachu face when rates start to head back towards the long-term 5-6% average and they're suddenly paying 5K a month.
History. It's there for everyone to look at.
Is the ✨sparkly emoji✨ the <BLINK> of the 21st century? Discuss.
I think it's becoming a play store requirement for apps to use various "notification channels" or whatever it's called, so hopefully the all or nothing behaviour will disappear in time.
Orrrr as you say apps get totally silenced / uninstalled, I don't have the patience for that kind of stuff anymore.
But it's definitely not perfect and tends to add unnecessary changes, I constantly have to review and add new rules.
This is the bit that bugs me. I spend a bit of time to create a relatively simple application in C# with it, and it's constantly tacking on new features and four extra command line arguments and it's frothing at the mouth to add Cool Feature X, "just say the word and I'll do it".
Just do what I asked. No more. That's enough. There's enough mangled code and logic errors lurking in there already, I don't need any more "features" clouding the water.
Copper wiring is protected from the elements (that is: oxygen) by its insulation. The gauge of the copper wiring is a far greater factor in audio quality than the voodoo science behind OFC.
You don't have to worry about corrosion in your speaker wiring unless your speaker installation is literally in the ocean.
