There's way more going on under the hood you might be aware of. See the Privacy Tests site I linked.

Still not as bad as Chrome, though. That's a privacy nightmare.

Looks like there's a new member here that's doing something similar.

The part with the heavy distorted guitar alternates between 4/4 and 5/4.

The heavy snare accents on off beats can throw you off. But listen for the two repeated notes that start the descending guitar riff; that happens at the beginning of each measure I'm pretty sure.

I've tried so many times to get my friends hooked up with things like this. And even the smartest and most practical of them never once anything to do with them. They are totally fine having accounts with services that harvest your data. 😢

@corlin @mikeharmanos @Zevon
Great recommendations here.

Don't forget to also use web browsers who don't spy on you or leak your data.

On desktop, I primarily use LibreWolf (hardened Firefox); occasionally Ungoogled Chromium.

On mobile (Android) I use Chromite.

Do Not trust anyone that says they're the "resistance media network."

The revolution will not be televised. Nor will it be on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok. Now is the time to learn how to use good encrypted communication channels.

Small bands of trusted people can do more good than you think.

Don't forget the power of song.

Love your animals. They don't know any better than you.

One thing people often forget to mention is that you should never try to shoot only to wound an attacker. Extremities are a pretty low percentage shot especially with adrenaline flowing, and non-critical wounds might not stop the attack.

You need to stop the attacker, and the reality is that likely means you will have to end them. Aim for center mass.

PA info... Point 4...

Be safe. Inform yourself. Protect yourself.

No actual evidence presented. It's as nebulous as the stuff put forward 4 years ago.

@chuck34108 @LindaWisner
This sounds as far-fetched as the stuff the other side was putting out this time 4 years ago. I don't believe it for a second.

@TwistedWhim
The trend of subscription models for software is just awful.

I have no problem buying quality software. I don't like the idea of renting it.

@corlin
The next two settings were 60 and 80 Hz. I did a lot of listening back and forth between 40, 60, and 80 and eventually settled on 60. Much more authority to the system then when set at 40 as you would expect, and 80 makes things a bit more congested.

Never trust an auto setup on its own! I'm willing to bet the newer and more advanced version of this software can set crossover frequencies more precisely than every 20 Hz.

@corlin
I misspoke earlier. You CAN see the crossover frequency, but it was buried. After listening some more tonight, I decided something wasn't quite right. Sure enough, the software had set the crossover point at 40 Hz, which is far too low for these bookshelf speakers. I re-ran Audyssey and it set that same crossover. So I found that if you go into manual setup you can keep the room correction eq, but override things like speaker distances and crossover.

It doesn't come out the same time that Mad Elf does. I am pretty sure it only comes in 750 ml bottles. But if you like Flemish sour ale, it's by far the closest thing to it made this side of the pond.
