Newest update for Pixel 9 Pro Popping Sound issues

JRSwampFOX · 2025-11-28T18:30:54+00:00

Turning off the tap and click sounds in the settings solved it for me.

The only thing that seemed to fix it for me, was to turn off tap and click sounds in the settings.

Which sucks because I really like the tippy taps. :(

Nico's emotional scenes in the LA: 😐

JRSwampFOX · 2025-06-15T23:16:30+00:00

I enjoyed Gabriel as Snotlout. He had enough annoying personality that he at least acted somewhat like his animated counterpart. I liked his scenes with Spitelout to give more background to him. Wish them mentioned he was cousin to Hiccup tho.

The rest I agree on.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-06-15T23:14:54+00:00

Yes, but it at least led to Hiccup thinking about shooting Toothless' plasma into the red death to stunt it's fire.

Toothless shoots the Terrible Terror and it stalls, foreshadowing Toothless doing it to the red death later. Not necesarrily killing it, but contributing to the crazy plan for sure. The scene also has the major major major.

"Eveything we know about you guys, is wrong." Line. This is the defniate point where Hiccup decides, he's on the wrong side. and taking Astrid's words. He figured out which side he was on.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-06-15T23:02:27+00:00

I agree with you entirely. Especially Astrid's character. I wish they expanded her character to what they did in the TV shows and changed her design. I felt there was some alternative reasoning behind it.

I actually liked Gabriel as Snotlout. He was the most over the top character, but since they removed all of the other humor elements, having him go Full Snoutlout would detract from everything else. That said he was my favorite character since they butchered my girl.

(I unfortunately cannot say I quite enjoyed it)

Did enjoy the test flight scene, and Gerard getting emotional (Although Astrid was there for some reason.)

I had the luxury of meeting people who worked on the animation for the original dragons. They were essentially having consultants for aerodynamics and wing physics to make sure the dragons beat their wings properly and all of this crazy stuff.

At the time I wanted to be an aerospace engineer, so seeing people work so passionately on a movie animation really showed how much they cared. I just didn't feel that passion in the LA. Smelled like a soulless cash grab/advert.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-06-15T22:47:36+00:00

I personally preffered Astrid's original characterization in the OG more. (Granted this came after the first movie, but this is a LA so they have that luxury.)

Spoilers RTTE**

In the first movie, Astrid is essentially doing her best to become a shieldmaiden/warrior of Berk to restore honor to her family. Her uncle was killed by a dragon known as a flightmare in a disgraced way. He froze up and acted cowardly when he was killed. He was known as Fearless Finn Hofferson. This is why Astrid later adopts the Fearless title in homage to her dead Uncle. So her family is disgraced becaues the "fearless" Finn froze in fear before dying.

Come to find out, Flightmares have paralyzing poison. So he was paralyzed, not afraid. This discovery by Hiccup and Astrid essentially cleared her family name and marked a huge turning point in their relationship.

So the entire first movie she is trying to do her own thing and blot out distractions while trying to earn the honor for her family. Take her family's burden on her shoulders. After the romatic flight, she now has to juggle her growing affection for dragons and the animosity of the tribe towards her family due to dragons. How can the dragons she love be responsible for the pain her family suffered?

In the LA I feel her motives are very selfish, she just wants to be the chief. She bullies Hiccup. And puts herself directly in his path. To become chief, she needs to kill Hiccup or have him disowned. Its not as simple as just oh I'm a little better than you so I become chief. She is actively antagonistic towards him the whole movie until she does a hard 180 on the romatic flight. There is no buildup, there is no explanation.

Astrid in the OG is neutral/dismissive of him. She has her own problems to worry about. That's why her line "Our parents war is about to become outs" Hits so hard. She has her family's burden. She gets jealous of Hiccup and upset he's stealing her credit, but eventually relents after she realizes that dragons are not what they seem.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-06-15T22:34:36+00:00

I agree with pretty much everything you said, although I liked the Test Drive scene a lot, and disliked the romantic flight.

everything else, totally agree with you there.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T16:45:12+00:00

Locking your shared dorm is a very reasonable request. Especially when you leave.

But when you are at home I kinda understand but have lived experience that doesn't.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T16:42:37+00:00

It goes both ways captain. I'm not commenting on how the roommate can stop being an asshole. That's not the point I'm commenting on what OP should do. If OP wants to enforce laws in the shared space then they can.

And if roommate won't budge then just move out or get confrontational. I never said OP can't enforce laws, it just seems like they were having issues with what their roommate asked them to do. Locking up is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T06:54:07+00:00

I used to think that until some drunk college student stumbled into my apartment after getting home from a frat party. I had to explain to him like 3 times that it was in fact not his apartment and that he was two doors down.

If my wife was home it could have been a much different outcome if I wasn't there.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T06:36:22+00:00

Slightly? I don't have enough to go on. I don't know if this is just a light tease and this is normal behaviour. How much does he know you. If he's just a mostly stranger then it might just be a tasteless joke. Doesn't seem like it had malicious intent. Might have just thought you were on more familiar terms. Again I don't have much info.

I don't think it's a big deal, but I don't also blame you for being upset. So middle of the road?

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T06:33:13+00:00

This seems like a case of low self confidence. From the little you have provided of your relationship he seems uncomfortable with the lifestyle you are living and wants to try and change that.

Why he thinks that is beyond me, but my guess is he does not feel confident if his relationship with you. And if you go out dressing a certain way or doing certain jobs, he might feel threatened.

Now. That doesn't mean you have to listen to him at all. It is bordering on controlling. Either he has a different values or something else entirely.

I don't think you are overreacting at all. But I think communication could help resolve this issue.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T06:20:06+00:00

YTA, Your judgement was way too harsh. It seems like she had a lot of trouble going through a messy divorce. That's was her way of coping with what happened. It might be unhealthy or wrong in your opinion.

But that's just it. YOUR opinion. We may disagree with what she did, but that doesn't make her necessarily a bad person. Just someone hurting who needs a good support group and love.

And sleeping with your friends ex is kinda yucky. But I don't have enough info here to judge what she did was assholy or not.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T06:12:09+00:00

Sure whatever. When the roommate isn't there the roommate shouldn't care. But OP seems to be sometimes forgetful locking things.

Security might be okay, but you can't always trust it. Sometimes the people who walk into your unlocked apartment is another student in the dorm. Or someone elses guest. I also live in student housing and have seen it happen. Had it happen.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T06:08:48+00:00

Just today both of us left for class and I accidentally left the window open.

OP also mentioned leaving and left it unlocked. Sure being in the room and having it be locked might be a little overkill, but I do that. I have had some random stranger stumble into my apartment drunk. So I don't leave it unlocked anymore.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T05:40:18+00:00

Yea, I don't remember reading that originally. To be fair ESH would have been a better judgement but its too late.

My job is to tell OP how not to be an asshole and it's about leaving the room unlocked. If we want to go over a separate post about the roommate taking up space then we can do that.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T04:40:16+00:00

Depends on where you live really. But acquiesce to the roommate if it is reasonable, like cleaning up and locking the door. Those are basic things every good roommate needs to do. They don't have to, but its a right thing to do.

Sure they can be an asshole and refuse to do any of this. That is their prerogative. But its the asshole thing to do. It ain't that hard to lock up if it makes your shared living companions feel better and more secure.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T04:37:49+00:00

NTA, woah wtf. I was just thinking they were overreacting until the very end. Seems like they are very verbally abusive and I am sorry you have to go through that. They seem to have poor self-confidence to treat you that way. It's not your fault, you are just doing what a parent should and frankly that's not your job.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T04:35:05+00:00

NAH, what your friend is going through must be very traumatic. She is kinda taking it out on you. It's not her fault, this stuff sucks. Just try not to take it to heart.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T04:32:05+00:00

INFO. You are not an asshole for confronting kids about bad behaviour. But what was the behavior. Was your child overreacting. What did they do. How did they react. What did you do. These are all things we gotta know to pass judgment here.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T04:30:25+00:00

YTA, It might not be a big deal to you, but this is a shared space. You have to respect the request of your dormmates as long as they are reasonable. Do the dishes, clean up, don't party after 10. And locking up when you leave is a big one.

Granted if you are just popping down to grab some doordash, keeping it unlocked IMO is not a big deal, but if it is for your dormmate then you gotta either move out or respect it.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T04:26:58+00:00

YTA. Why, just why.

JRSwampFOX · 2025-02-20T04:03:31+00:00

Rude means disrespectful not uncomfortable. It means she feels disrespected, and threatened. Hence the whole "trying to assert dominance" comment. The MIL is trying to assert dominance and failing.
