I think it comes down to what you said, but for the obscenely rich.

A pro has failed more than a beginner has tried. The obscenely rich have been told ‘yes’ more than the poor have had the opportunity to even ask questions.

You can learn this type of failed behavior just like a bad habit, and boy howdy is he the master of it.

Great now i read thank as than-k. Lol

Oh! My bad. EqualizerAPO / SourceForge is what i used briefly. I tried a few others but their names escape me.

Was nice being able to control everything more fluidly and import presets from various audiophile testing websites to figure out what sounded best to “me”.

Years of listening to Metal at ‘way too loud’ on the dial has made my ears uh ‘unique’. So i cant just drop in stuff and it sound immediately perfect. Gotta tweak it a smidge.

Regarding the third party software on linux, I’m unsure. When im using my linux boot i just use the equalizer built into the dac itself and mimic what i figured out using third party on windows.

I imagine there’s third party that would interface with it since its just like any other audio software. Something like PulseAudio that sits on top of ALSA. That said id recommend doing your own research as always with your flavor of linux/setup.

They didn’t work out of the box instantly, the sound was pretty “crunchy”.

But, all i had to do was update firmware and set the bandwidth to the fanciest it would go then use third party equalizer to balance it out. (You CAN use the propietary one, but it didn’t seem to really offer me anything third party didn’t. Third party changes the driver too so you don’t have to have a dumb program sitting open in the background like the proprietary requires)

If i was going to spend this money again I’d of bought the Maxwell from Audeze instead. My head is fat and the nova pro barely fits at max space.

Also, get cloth earcups to replace the full rubber grippy ones. Way less sweaty and the sound is more " open" imo. Although audiophiles would be correct that it’s less sealed so therefore less noise canceling and immersive.

Edit: Sidenote. All headsets should have a removable battery as easy as this. Its easily the best feature on this headset.

This has big “ill pay $20 if it has free shipping, but won’t pay $15 + $5 shipping” energy.

Id rather buy food from a restaurant that doesn’t need tipping and is more expensive because they pay their workers fair wage instead of a place where the workers feel like they have to do the food service equivalent of pan handling on the side of the street.

They get paid the same. One is less dehumanizing.

Leaving your wage up to a fickle customer is hell. Getting paid less because the cooks accidentally overcooked the customers steak so they felt like they werent “treated well” or some bs is ridiculous.

(The bottom half of this rant isnt aimed at you, but at tipping in general)

Yep. More accurate reading by it “feeling” your finger instead of “seeing” your finger.

Nominal upgrade but an upgrade none the less.

A lot more benefit comes from how fast the software can detect you trying to unlock your phone, waking the phone, enabling the thumbprint reader (sonic vs light), then decoding the print and finally waking to your home screen.

I love the feature that lets me open the phone to home screen from the phone being asleep. Just put your thumb on a black screen in the right spot and boom, already at the home screen.

Old oneplus gang! Dozens of us!

Oh god. Thinking about how they dont even HAVE joints to know what the popping of them is.

The only thing in an octopus thats close is the beak.

So now i think it would make sense that when i crack my knuckles, an octopus hears the sound of a hammer breaking teeth, but inside you.

My favorite month in the dual-year. Junetobuary.

Yeah, the “let no one else use it” portion of my comment is what i meant when you say “patent owners are generally more than happy to license their tech”

I hope ford doesn’t.

And yes while patents dont grant exclusivity it gives a company the option to try and argue that a competitors version isnt novel enough. In the USA, where ford is from, patent law screwery is abounds if you have enough money. Of which Ford is backed by the US government.

Im not here to point out whether or not the patent is the issue. The problem is the spying and selling of personal data. If ford proceeds in a way that limits that exposure to the rest of car manufacturers then fantastic, even if its only in a nominal way.

I do still appreciate your refresher on how patents work though! Hope the rest of your day goes well.

Honestly good. Let no one else use that technology. Then all i have to do is not buy a ford.

That said, if you plug your phone into your car, this tech is already in place lol.

I think that last paragraph precisely summarizes the flaw in 90% of the discourse about this. People are trying to solve a problem that shouldn’t exist to need to be solved.

If you set your goal to scale the industry wayyyy back, all of a sudden it becomes sustainable again. Just like it was 10 years ago. Society based on endless growth is unsustainable and all that yeah?

What was the anaology? We’re too busy trying to figure out the best position to have sex with our own mothers instead of trying to have less sex with our own mothers?

NOOOOOOOOO

Who’s steve jobs?

The stones will cry nut was how i read it at first and it got a laugh from me

You’re all wrong, that’s a prime chaotic resonator that fits 4 fossils for end game crafting clearly. The romans were farming end game and we’re not even to maps yet.
