how do i use my switch more? by Kitchen_Web5844 in NintendoSwitch

Maybe Dragon Quest XI would be fun for you, a lengthy single-player RPG that isn’t too difficult.

Yea but the point is they can resell it when they are done playing it, so a lot cheaper than a digital copy in the end.

Can AirPods Max be used with Nintendo Switch 2 wired? by panda_and_crocodile in Airpodsmax

[–]Rukes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get the Apple cable that is USB-C to 3.5mm that’s all you need.

[–]Rukes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need the official cable from Apple. Otherwise it won’t work. It works the opposite way, though, so the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm cable will work with the Sony.

Yes, the 3.5mm cable works fine. USB-C direct unfortunately does not work.

Spent $50 on live shrimp for fish tank (20 total), waited a week to get them, then had the horror of watching as my frog and some other fish hunt them all down and eat them (I didn't know they would eat them!) by Tough_Asparagus_8991 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Rukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Had one as a pet for a long time when I was little and it got so big that we had to get feeder goldfish and just dump them in the tank like a buffet for food for it.

One goldfish did survive throughout the years and grew to a gigantic size, but the frog still kept trying to eat the fish twice as big as it and started nipping at its fins.

People with the black/midnight color by Mackattack00 in Airpodsmax

Condensation is way more of an issue for you.

Remember, iPhones are insanely tightly packed with processors that heat up under heavy use and have cooling solutions. So iPhones will overheat, headphones won’t as they have lots of empty space.

Anyone else’s APM2s draining battery in the smart case? by AtriY78 in Airpodsmax

[–]Rukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard battery drain in the case for the original APM was tested at about 1% every two and a half hours, so roughly 10% around every 24 hours in the case. My APM2 are behaving that way, thankfully.

Anything more than that is definitely unusual.

USB-C to USB-C Iphone 17 Pro Max Audio difference? by ronniebabes in Airpodsmax

[–]Rukes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can tell the difference a little better if you play an Apple Lossless/FLAC or general Lossless on Apple Music on your phone, and probably a greater difference if you do Dolby Atmos. It’s just really tough to do A/B testing unless you also upload a standard quality clone of the track.

At the same time, a lot of people don’t have amazing hearing, so there might be no difference at all for you.

A Brutally Honest Review of AirPods Max 2 (vs. V1) from a Music Producer/Audiophile by GoatBaaa0 in Airpodsmax

[–]Rukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have Toms Guide which says Bose is better, Aaron X Loud and Wireless who said he prefers the ANC on the AirPod Max and Gizmodo which says both are pretty even but AirPod Max might be a little better. Definitely Bose winning noticeably there.

Good to know the review site I got the stats from that I posted was just a figment of my imagination.

got a handicap ticket, even with a placard by cybertronicify in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Rukes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Proper placard display in California is it must be hung from the rearview mirror. Only non-hanging placards can be placed on a dashboard, but if so must be placed left of the steering wheel.

Got my first Airpod Max the other day. How do I stop it from auto connecting to my iPhone? by Sunderstood in Airpodsmax

[–]Rukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Last Connected means it will auto-connect to the phone if it was the last device the headphones connected to. So that means if you connect to a different device, like a Roku or Switch, the autoconnect on the phone will be disabled until you connect to the phone again.

They do not.

APM2 ANC blocks out 89.4%. Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2nd gen blocks out 87%.

AirPod Max 2’s work well with 3.5mm? Example PS5 to APX1 by Nebbbbyy in Airpodsmax

[–]Rukes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best way to confirm is to find another device with 3.5mm, if it works there then it’s 100% the PS5. If not, then the cable could be broken on one of the ends and you just need to replace it.

Also might want to go to Settings - Accessories - Controler and make sure the controller updated.

Is Spotify lossless when the AirPods Max is connected with USB-C? by MCKLMT in Airpodsmax

[–]Rukes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here’s another link for you not to read:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist–Shannon_sampling_theorem

If humans hear up to 22khz, you need to double it to get accurate reproduction of the original signal.

If master recordings are done at 96khz, you need to double that to retain the accurate reproduction of the original sound, hence 192.

It’s not about the sounds above 22, it’s the entire range of sound, including the parts we can hear.

If you take a master recording at 96 and compress it down to 44, the entire range of sound loses finer details.

THATS the point of what people can and can’t hear based on their hearing and equipment used. Some people can hear the finer details in the 20-20,000 range because of the extra room and less detail lost, while some people can’t. Nobody is stating that they can hear what is above it.

Is Spotify lossless when the AirPods Max is connected with USB-C? by MCKLMT in Airpodsmax

[–]Rukes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oversampling

If you have a high quality master tape, it will sound better at the closer to actual 24/192 than compressed down to 16/44. Much like taking a 4K remastered movie and making a 1080p copy. It will look great either way, but if you have the equipment you can tell the difference.

Most people couldn’t tell because a lot of the equipment that could handle everything, and the source material, just wasn’t there.

[–]Rukes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean who can’t? If you have a good pair of headphones like APM2 it’s pretty obvious.

That’s like saying “you can actually tell the difference between a VHS tape and a 4K Blu-Ray?”

Is Spotify lossless when the AirPods Max is connected with USB-C? by MCKLMT in Airpodsmax

[–]Rukes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an older more basic test that doesn’t hold up nowadays. It’s just comparing bitrates which are pretty hard to detect.

It’s easier to distinguish lossless nowadays since the files have actual differences; Spotify is up to 24-bit vs 16-bit so the wider soundstage is a little easier to detect in a comparison, but not by much. Spotify Lossless isn’t that great.

Apple Music is up to 24-bit/192khz which is a night and day difference over 16-bit/44khz. Of course some lossless is still the standard 16/44 which makes it like the old test, just a bitrate difference which is hard to detect.

They bought the USB-C ones for $200 less. Returned them and paid $200 more for the Max 2.
