If you have a surround setup, try boosting only the center speaker. Dialog is usually played through that.

Someone else mentioned a compressor. If your tv/hifi has a night mode, it’s doing that exact thing.

The best part is that if they asked the guy nicely he’d be all too happy to struck a deal for an early retirement, but in typical American fashion they immediately showed up with lawyers and sued.

He made provisions since to ensure the US Wendy’s will never get that name, including opening more locations so that they’re now a “fast food chain” as well.

Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.

I have a cousin that works at a petrochem plant. He told me that all the “common trips” never really happen since they’ve been drilled on how and what to do and how to prevent them, but the second shit really does go down you better have a senior around that has seen that specific trip before. Especially considering there’s tens/hundreds of thousands worth of produce being burned off by the second until things are back under control.

Switzerland has always been the go to holiday destination for my grandparents, parents and now me. The difference in pictures (and memories) between the generations is terrifying

Having moved to iPhone fairly recently I do like the overall experience, however Face ID is by far the biggest downside over a good under screen fingerprint scanner.

When picking up the phone and holding it in front of my face it works perfectly well, but that’s probably less than 50% of the unlocks I do.

Most of the time the phone would lie flat on a desk, on a nightstand, couch armrest etc. I can see and interact with the screen just fine, but the phone can’t see me properly. Making me pick the phone to quickly check a notification.

I’m probably entering my password about 4-5x as much as my old phone because of that

I just carry my laptop with me while walking around during meetings.

Not necessarily if you’re the one walking in with the DC++ server. Getting that thing up and running was suddenly priority #1 for the entire floor.

Walk in, press on button, hang up jacket and get stuff out of bag, type in password, grab coffee.

That’s a pretty common morning pattern I see.

I've borrowed a top spec Audi A6 from 2004 for a bit last year and that had adaptive cruise control as well. Honestly if not for the infotainment GUI, which felt very "spy kids", it would have passed for a ~2020 car as well feature wise.

The amount of reference material it has is also a big influence. I've had to pick up PLC programming a while ago (codesys/structured text, which is kinda based on pascal). While chatgpt understands the syntax it has absolutely no clue about libraries and platform limitations so it keeps hallucinating those based on popular ones in other languages.

Still a great tool to have it fill out things like I/O mappings and the sorts. Just need to give it some examples to work with first.

Those are some peak water polo nails.
