  And there’s people out there that think the average person can tell AI from reality?

  I wouldn’t give full control, maybe 3 faders that allow for a 10% reduction in dialogue, music and SFX. Will if affect artist integrity, absolutely, but so does listening on our consumer speakers and watching the content on our consumer grade displays that aren’t perfectly color balanced in a pitch black room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings.⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a hardware device, called a compressor that would solve the problem. Basically it reduces the loudest parts of audio on a gradual curve, which allows you turn up the overall volume.

  Affordable ones range $100-$250, which should get the job done. Personally, I wouldn’t go either direction out of that range, more expensive ones will be overkill and cheap ones could sound bad or lack the controls to set it up right)

  If you can get analog audio out of the TV in to a speaker/sound bar, it’s easy to setup.

  So with a cheaper sound bar and a compressor, you could accomplish this for about $250-$400 depending on how much money you can to throw at the problem,

  Pretty sure MS made this a “standard keyboard” button, which could mean it needs to be included for the OEM to be able to put windows on the machine.

  Until he has early dementia and forgets the lessons learned, but of course he’ll forget he invested anything tomorrow and do it again!

  I’m all for holding people personally responsible, but sometimes we gotta help each other out. Also blaming the victim for being scammed is not helpful. Scammers do so many underhand tactics its impossible for any of the keep track alone.

  I’m okay with more tools to help us protect people. Maybe instead of needing ADB, you have to boot into save mode, and can enable 3rd party sources from there? This way you can still enable it on the phone while preventing a script or app can’t automate enabling it. Oh and because there’s more scan shit on google play than Fdroid, we’ll need google play to be enabled the same method too.

  The kid on the right looks fine. The one in the middle just needs to do something with the hair. The left one went a bit far with the long pants, and again hair. I’m not saying its got to be neatly flat or something, but but some effort into it, throw in some actually spikes, or a mowhak or anything really. Bed head ain’t it. The kid on the right, he takes care of his hair.

  Huh, thinking about it, I’ve never seen a computer in the 2009 icon form factor. Sure there’s the simple rectangle case, but that skinny silver curved case?

  Also, its kind of funny the 2026 version is an all-in-one-computer, which is more of Apple’s thing. Sure there’s probably a dozen options for a Windows all in one, but when I see that icon I think of an iMac.

  “15 items or less” lanes should charge extra for going over. 0-20 no charge, 21+ = $1 per extra item. That money goes towards whoever uses the register after you.

  Maybe, but I feel like the numbers still wouldn’t be that high. My second guess is maybe the default wikipedia shortcut in chrome’s search brings you to the chrome wiki page as an “easter egg”?

  Its been a few years since I used chrome, so I have no clue.

  How is google chrome the top page view? Think google left a not running somewhere?
