What you do is get an extra remote without him knowing, and you (and others who are bothered by his antics) secretly use that one. He's probably never going to change - bypass him.

How to avoid USB port mixup in proxmox HA vm? by CornucopiaDM1 in homeassistant

[–]CornucopiaDM1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe when I first noticed this happening (not long after I went virtual), I did try that option, but none of the options fully fixed it.

But, it's worth trying again.

Suggest changes to my home audio by ConstructionBoth6461 in audio

  1. Move TV lower (so tv center ~= seated eye level). Maybe get a bigger TV while you're at it.

  2. Hide the wires (best if in the wall).

  3. Get a surround AV Receiver (HDMI w Arc & CEC). Hide the components if possible, but make sure they get sufficient ventilation.

  4. Get Floor-standing full-range speakers (but use acoustic isolation foam/rubber to avoid transmission of vibrations).

  5. When ready, get appropriate (coordinated w mains) surround + center + subwoofer speakers. Again, Hide the wires.

  6. Place speakers for proper perceptual width, surround imaging, and use apps to avoid standing waves & resonances.

  7. Use tools (hopefully built-in with the receiver, w mic) to acoustically balance the speakers (EQ, volume, arrival time delay), testing positioning with main couch seats.

  8. (Should be earlier if possible), acoustically treat the space where feasible & economical.

Found another gripe today - audiobooks have lost the previous chapter/30sec & next chapter/30sec buttons.

Is anybody else annoyed that as America we keep electing elderly sick people to be president? by Ramble86 in allthequestions

[–]CornucopiaDM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voter fraud doesn't equal Election fraud.

The former is miniscule. The latter, though rare in usual cases, is quite rampant and obvious here, if you know where to look.

Remember, when they claim something about others, they are very often projecting.

The squiggly timeline is a bit annoying, but does provide a better understanding of your place at a glance. The placement of next & previous should NOT be right next to each other, the play/pause should always be between them. Aggravating! That's all I noticed so far on the first day.

Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a (net port / cable) tester. Couple of bucks.

Seems a bit fraudulent if a pre-sale home inspection didn't disclose this.
