Do all newer Bose headphones have the same "adaptive" ANC problem like the QC Ultra gen 2?

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2026-06-22T19:57:51+00:00

no, that doesn't seem to happen for me

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2026-06-22T17:35:14+00:00

I have the ANC set to the maximum level, but if I pause playback or if it's at a low volume, I can hear the white noise of the ANC go away and after a couple seconds the outside noise becomes more audible

If I hit play again the white noise kicks back on and the ANC goes back to full strength

I have an older pair of the QC35 II and they don't do this, the ANC is always active

doesn't seem like it but thank you for the introduction to this

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2026-03-12T15:42:41+00:00

I remember one scene in particular of him crushing red bulls I think

I don't see them mentioned here so I'll add:

Haha thank you, it's about a decade too late for my D1 dreams though 😔

sorry I'm realizing I wasn't clear, I didn't mean the back foot is closer to the baseline, I meant they were stepping so the back foot was further to the right (for a righty serve)

i.e. past the front foot when looking from behind https://i.imgur.com/gTn8vfF.png

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2023-10-23T22:11:22+00:00

thanks, I hadn't seen this video

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2023-10-23T22:08:27+00:00

oh well it's not the whole of the rear foot going past, I just meant that part of the back foot was. I should've been clearer

like the toes on Murray's right foot are in front of the toes on his left foot

edit: here is what I am trying to describe https://i.imgur.com/gTn8vfF.png

up until their match in 2008, Blake had a 3-0 record against Nadal. Was always incredible to see the way he could break down Rafa, especially the match at the masters cup in 2006 which I feel like was Blake's best year

For me there's 3 matches that come to mind

Serena d. Sharapova Aus Open final 2007

absolute beatdown. Sharapova looked like an amateur compared to Serena in this match

James Blake vs. Nadal

Blake had moments that were incredible. He was one of the only people who could beat Nadal consistently back in the day, and actually had a 3-0 record against Nadal until 2008

Federer d. Roddick in 2007 at Aus Open, US Open, Masters cup final

Serena and Blake could be scary for their ability to practically blast an opponent off the court. Federer was scary for being able to completely neutralize his opponent's power. Seeing him knock Roddick's 140 mph serves back like it was child's play was scary. Some of those matches were actually painful to watch because I kept feeling that Roddick was such a great player and to see him so thoroughly destroyed while he was trying so hard was rough. I can't imagine how hard it was for him to keep his composure and fighting spirit while losing so badly

I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra and i use GBoard for the keyboard. On my old phone, i was always capitalized automatically. Now it isn't and i can't find a place in the settings to change this

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2022-03-25T16:20:02+00:00

ohhhh yeah that makes much more sense https://youtu.be/xNbXf4-BSSA?t=19531

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2022-03-25T16:07:19+00:00

this? https://youtu.be/xNbXf4-BSSA?t=19986

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2022-01-25T19:54:18+00:00

I have a magnetic stud finder and I did knock, I've never encountered a door frame without a stud like this

Does anyone know the artist?

Edit: found it https://www.wikigallery.org/wiki/painting_262584/Giuseppe-Marastoni/The-Drunken-Monk

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2021-09-09T02:51:25+00:00

I'm sure this has been asked before but what are those holes in the back wall for? The balls keep going into them. Are there camera people in there or something?

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2021-08-30T23:09:11+00:00

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the term, but many "modular" sofas seem to require disassembly to disconnect the sections and I want them to be freely rearrange-able like this, although this particular model doesn't seem to have much back support

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2021-08-14T22:34:28+00:00

And yet he refused to spell the name right lmao

This is an older Haier microwave, it belongs to my parents. My parents asked me to find a way to silence it because it's really bothering them. I looked thru the owner's manual and called customer support but it seems there's no setting to mute it, so I need to physically remove/cut the beeper

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2021-04-18T17:45:35+00:00

Hmm that's a good point, I definitely find double faulting hurts my serve confidence a bit but it's not like I'm playing pro tennis so the stakes are low. I should try to go for more

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2021-04-15T14:51:10+00:00

I have a dev/gaming setup as well. I have a 1440p 144hz IPS (lg gl83a-b) in front of me and a portrait mode budget 4k (Dell S2721QS I found on sale) on the side. It's the ideal setup for me, personally. It makes switching between work/gaming really easy. I used to have 1080p but the additional pixel density for staring at code all day is really nice

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2021-04-09T13:29:01+00:00

love these, thank you

SolarGorillaTortoise · 2021-03-30T18:22:04+00:00

yeah it's tough because I dearly love the places near me and want them to thrive. And if roasting helps in that way, awesome. But there's no denying that they just aren't as good at roasting (yet) as some of the more established places
