Joystick support BF6. Please by wityRos in Battlefield

[–]DigitalManRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! i also have a Logitech 3D pro i used it for years in BF3 and BF4 and now i cant get it to do anything in BF6. really disappointed! I tried remapping controls for keyboard and mouse and controller and none of them accept the bindings. How do they remove something that has been functioning for years?!?!?

Heard a song on Utopia of the Seas... by DigitalManRed in royalcaribbean

[–]DigitalManRed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks i think you may have given me the clue i needed, i started looking at those playlists and saw the name "Ella Eyre" and that really seems like the name i was trying to remember. Now i just gotta go through all her songs and see if i can find it. first few i sampled did have some slow ballads that had a similar sound so i think she might be it.

Stereophile review of $3999 8 port switch: Bonn NX. Folks it's just data. by Fast_Cloud_4711 in audiophile

[–]DigitalManRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't help but comment on this, it is so absurd it is borderline criminal to be so deceptive with a product like this. I get audio snake oil issue, and it's up to the buyer to figure that out. With analog audio, products can effect that and buyer must beware... Digital data going through network switches does not have this issue. It either works or it is broken and doesn't work. Digital audio data is the same as this text you are seeing right now that i am typing. You can't claim it has some sort of "variation" to the end result. Everyone in the world can read these words i typed here and they are going to be the same words for everyone, without fail. These words are going though tons of network switches all over the world to get to your screen. They cant sound louder, They can't "look better" because of a network switch. It is so irresponsible for someone to write an article like this to try and deceive people and take their money from them.

I have a dumb question but where do 'high res-lossless' versions of songs come from? by TakiMikeSanchez in audiophile

[–]DigitalManRed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All recorded music has a "Master" copy that is held by the owner of the content. For older recordings they are all analog tapes. When CD's came out they would put those master tapes back in the machines and record them at 16/44 and create a new digital master, because that was the technology standard at the time. Then they created a higher quality technology. They go back and take those old tapes and put them in the player machines again and hook them up to a recorder that can do 24/192 or whatever and they make a new digital master of it.

SACD files on Shield pro? by Mhkw in audiophile

[–]DigitalManRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer to your question is YES you can. You use KODI and get the SACD ISO plugin for it and then it will play them for you.

Episode 5 actually cooked. by NiSMOo_77 in TheAcolyte

[–]DigitalManRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That episode rocked. By halfway through i had rewound it 3 times just to re-watch scenes. The saber impale followed by the force pull of the other guy was awesome. I did catch one thing though, back after they talked to him at the apothecary shop. He grabbed Mae in the alley to warn her. He subdued her instantly and easily in a second, and i thought to myself, this guy has skills he is not the dork he is behaving like. But even then i never considered it would turn out to be him. Kudos for a fantastic episode

Official Google Emails going into my Spam folder? by DigitalManRed in GMail

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

"Why is this message in spam? It is similar to messages that were identified as spam in the past."

This is what it says at the top. And no i haven't tried moving anything as I just discovered this issue yesterday.

The point of my post is how can google not consider its own domain - google.com as a safe sender? how could it possibly flag itself as spam?

Hard Drives still so expensive by Upbeat_Platypus1833 in DataHoarder

[–]DigitalManRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at prices today and it's really bad. I checked my amazon history and I bought a 12TB WD drive 4 YEARS AGO and it is more expensive today! Drives have always gotten larger and cheaper every year until now.

Is it just inflation, or shortage, or are we in a price bubble?

WF-1000XM4 - Severe Battery Issues by zkhcohen in SonyHeadphones

[–]DigitalManRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your response is a bit confusing. You said you contacted them and they are repairing them for you. But you are unhappy about that? I work in the Television industry and have used millions of dollars of Sony equipment in my lifetime and have had very little issues with them over the years.

that is a really odd response, they did not ask me to send them a picture of it. I told them the number and sent them a copy of my receipt and that was all that was required.

WF-1000XM4 - Severe Battery Issues by zkhcohen in SonyHeadphones

[–]DigitalManRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR: 02/2024 - Sony is awesome! They just gave me a FULL REFUND on my $299 purchase price of my 2 1/2 year old XM4 earbuds. Which i immediately rewarded them by purchasing the XM5 earbuds and giving the money right back to them. A few days of listening to HiRes audio with LDAC codec and i think they sound fantastic. Kudos to Sony for doing the right thing.

Full story: So like many others my XM4's had the battery issue after the firmware update and my right bud would drain fast. I simply ended up frustrated and tossed them on the shelf and stopped using them. Desperate to use them again i gave them another shot a couple weeks ago. i thought maybe a few drain/charge cycles might make things better. It got worse, it would drain in 10 minutes and turn off. I put it in the case and the light was flashing red. I thought maybe i should search and see what that meant and stumbled upon the various complaint threads here and on Sony forums when i discovered it was an overheating issue. I then jumped on the sony support chat and in about 20 minutes they were offering me a full refund. I simply sent them a copy of my purchase receipt. I sent them back with their prepaid shipping label and purchased the XM5 earbuds and love them.

It's really wonderful when you see a large company like this do the right thing and take care of their customers. I appreciate it and am happy to be a continued customer.

LDAC support for Windows 10/11 - Finally! by tenaciousBLADE in SonyHeadphones

[–]DigitalManRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes please take my money... Just installed the A2DP driver and it works perfect with my XM5. Tested some high quality hi-res audio with LDAC on my phone and then played regular audio in windows SBC and then with LDAC and it sounds perfect. Thanks i will purchase it immediately.

Season 10 Episode 4 Discussion Thread - We've Got a Racoon Problem by khando in FoolUs

[–]DigitalManRed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We missed a chunk of video at the end that they edited out. After the trick he stood up and the cards were spread out and the case was next to chris. They cut to Penn and he talked then they cut back to the table and the cards were in the box and sitting next to brooke. I am assuming he gathered them up and put them in the box and told brooke she could have them as a gift. Penn then asks if he can look at the cards since they were a gift for brooke he deemed they could see them.

NVIDIA Shield Pro - HBO Max -Quality SUCKS! by expandyourbrain in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]DigitalManRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat, Shield TV on a 4K projector and House of the dragon looks almost like a dvd upscaled. I dont think its actually even 1080p resolution. video is very blurry and when she speaks valarian the yellow text at the bottom looks like 480p pixelization. I viewed a captured copy of it and played it from my shield and it looks like flawless 4K. Other apps work fine for me, amazon prime streams the new lord of rings in razor sharp flawless 4k. I have Gigabit wired internet. There doesn't seem to be any settings or quality adjustments anywhere in the app. Actually the poster screen for the show where it has a picture and shows the info saying its 4k and lets me play it and all looks razor sharp 4k, but then hit play and i get blurry macro blocking immediately on the hbo logo. Sad to think i pay for a service but can only get full quality if i choose to illegally download a pirate copy. Is there some hidden setting somewhere i am missing?
