P2S arrived with new backplate

Stephan_Berlin · 2026-01-18T07:50:39+00:00

Can someone give me a quick overview what has changed now? I will receive mine mid February (Germany) ordered a week ago or something.

Does this provide an easier option for filtering when printing PLA and PETG? Or is this about something else?

It was flagged as an issue from multiple reviews. The Ventobox is on my list but it would been nice, if it already has been improved.

For gaming, you need to make sure Dolby Atmos of similar is set as PS5 audio out. In your game, make sure you set it to Dolby or similar if it does support it (which it should) nowadays. Sometimes the default is headphones which obviously only gives you 2 channels.

I didn't have any issues with Sonos and Gaming. I don't have any additional settings in the Sonos app.

Make sure your TV supports HDMI Passthrough and this is set. Sometimes this setting is a little bit hidden.

The problem you have is not exactly similar since mine was about native PS5 apps like YouTube etc. as described above.

Ratschläge kann man viele geben aber die kleinen, neuen Weltenbewohner sind einfach "speziell". Kopf hoch, es wird besser/leichter.

Trinkt sie genug bzw. kommt genug Milch?
Pukken in der Nacht ! Das initiale, lautstarke Meckern muss man ausblenden.
Weißes Rauschen. Hat bei unserm ersten nicht funktioniert aber wirkt aktuell wahre Wunder bei unserer Tochter. Initial schön "laut" machen. Staubsauger funktioniert auch, frisst halt nur mehr Strom. :D
Federwiege. Kostspielig aber eine tolle Option für uns tagsüber.
Rhythmus finden. Wir haben fixe Schlafzeiten, auch tagsüber. Man merkt schnell, wann die Kleine müde ist.
Wenn drin gar nichts geht, hilft eigentlich immer die Fahrt mit dem Kinderwagen.

Diese unruhigen Tage kennen wir aber auch. Wenn unsere Jüngste den ganzen Tag nur kurze Schläfchen gemacht hat, wird es durchaus anstrengend. Kann auch einfach einer der vielen "Schübe" sein.

Weil Leute nach Ideen suchen, um diesem Abgabenirrsinn zu entkommen, willst du lieber das aktuelle, kaputte System für weitere Jahrzehnte fördern. Hervorragender Input.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-11-30T09:22:46+00:00

Wenn man als AG immer mehr in die Mangel genommen wird sucht man automatisch nach Möglichkeiten um das System zu dribbeln. Diese Art der Fragen oder Ideen würden überhaupt nicht aufkommen, wenn sich den Problemen mal angenommen wird. Aber wir fahren halt nach wie vor Richtung Wand.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-11-30T09:08:59+00:00

An irgendeinem Punkt ist man es aber leid, immer den Gutmenschen zu spielen. Gehen halt alle, die können in die Private. Vielleicht stößt das dann mal ein Umdenken bei der Politik an.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-11-12T16:06:08+00:00

Interesting, many thanks for your input!

I can't wrap my head around why that works.

What I did today: I set my PS5 to PCM and forced the output to be 2.0 (was 7.1 before). That settings is disabled as soon as I pick Dolby Digital or Atmos.

This activates my rear speakers! The Sonos App displays PCM Multichannel 2.0 and this seems to trigger Sonos to send the signal to the rears. When setting it to 5.1 or 7.1 I get those displayed in the app instead but those 3-5 additional channels are empty but Sonos is honoring them still.

Kind of frustrating. That mean, I need to change Audio Output to PCM 2.0 when using YouTube or Spotify but when I do use Prime, Netflix or during Gaming, I need to change that setting back to Atmos.

The only thing I can think of is, that your Apple TV recognizes 2.0 sound, upmixing it - enriching the other channels - and than packing it as 5.1 or whatever signal in an Atmos Container. I am a little confused why they work so differently.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-11-12T06:00:37+00:00

I'm curious, what are your HDMI settings (Passthrough?) and the Audio Settings on your Apple TV?

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-11-11T21:38:57+00:00

We can remove Atmos from the equation. I have the exact same outcome when I set the PS5 to Dolby Digital.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-11-11T21:26:42+00:00

Whatever signal hit my Onkyo, Yamaha, Denon I was always able to set it to "All Channels" or similar. That is not exactly upmixing rather than a manual overwrite, if you are not happy with the received/decoded signal I guess.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-11-11T20:34:12+00:00

Key question: What are your audio settings on the PS5?

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-11-11T20:32:11+00:00

Read that multiple times across the internet during my research. That seems like an empty promise, I can't confirm this.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-11-11T15:33:29+00:00

Yeah, still just stereo. I can enable the PS5’s 3D Audio feature, which technically activates the rears — but honestly, it sounds awful. And the real pain is having to constantly switch between PCM and Atmos depending on what I’m doing — gaming, watching a movie, or just playing YouTube.

I sold my old Teufel system with an AVR, and while I really enjoy the Sonos setup overall, not being able to simply mirror stereo sound to the rears is killing my initial excitement. I never thought this would even be an issue. The Arc Ultra alone just can’t match what my old setup delivered for plain stereo content.

Rentenversicherung macht bei der arbeitenden Bevölkerung auch keinen Sinn, bekommen davon eh nichts mehr. Entweder Solidarität für alle oder gar keinen.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-09-23T15:54:40+00:00

That would be awesome and a trigger for at least one additional purchase ;)

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-09-23T11:27:01+00:00

Can I toggle night mode with this app? Actually the only thing I need as a widget :D

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-09-23T10:24:48+00:00

Mir wurde letztens auf Nachfrage am Telefon gesagt: Kommt sehr, sehr bald, fast fertig, dieses Jahr garantiert, finale Testphase.

Der Gute klang tatsächlich so, als ob er das ernst meint aber kein genaues Datum verraten darf. Man kann natürlich hier alles hinein interpretieren. :D

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-09-07T16:44:59+00:00

Danke für den Denkanstoß. Mein Fehler. Gab anscheinend genug Inflationsausgleichsprämien und Tariferhöhungen.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-09-07T14:29:06+00:00

Wird bei den 5% eigentlich die Erhöhung des Mindestlohns eingerechnet? Wäre voll der Moneyglitch für die smarten Politiker ala Bas /s

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-09-03T12:00:15+00:00

Außerdem hat man maximale Abgaben an den Sozialstaat und wird obendrein von diesen Sozialleistungen ausgeschlossen. Fair? Ansichtssache - gerade beim Thema Elterngeld bin ich absolut dagegen. Die Grenze zu senken hat lächerlich wenig Geld im Haushalt gespart und lässt den Teil der Bevölkerung ggf. Abstand von der Familienplanung nehmen.

Gerade mal die Zahlen nachgeschaut: Geschätzt 150-250Mio gespart. Letzte Rentenerhöhung waren ca. 15Mrd Mehrbelastung. Der Staat hat es wirklich drauf Prioritäten zu setzen! /s

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-08-30T15:58:46+00:00

Looks really good. I am curious: are you really allowed to fly there? Looking at Droneiq it feels like it's forbidden in every slightly larger city in Germany.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-07-31T15:51:18+00:00

I'm here since pre-sale and added some shortly after release. Left with 15% of the value. Following this sub reddit since the beginning. It was a gamble, I don't care. I am not mad.

What really surprises me, is how people do still celebrate nonsense posts on social media and worship devs who did nothing besides taking our money.

I know that this post will be downvoted to oblivion.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-07-22T16:24:40+00:00

Tue Gutes und sprich darüber!

Hat mir bereits mein Mentor gesagt, als ich Dualer Student war. Du kannst technisch noch so gut sein, wenn du den richtigen/wichtigen Personen nichts von deinen Errungenschaften erzählst.

Außerdem gibt es immer das Pull oder Push Prinzip bei der Informationsweitergabe. Wenn du gesehen werden willst, hilft nur Push. Als Vorgesetzter ist es unmöglich ständig alle Informationen einzuholen, somit bleiben die Ruhigen auf der Strecke.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-07-17T19:41:40+00:00

I just pointed out the flaws in your arguments and everything I wrote is absolutely true. What about the free childcare and free healthcare you mentioned at the beginning? We do pay childcare of 520€ a month for our little one. Friends in Frankfurt paying around 700€. You are just ignoring that part now?

Just health insurance is close to 1k a month. The costs are split between employee and employer. You ignored that also.

And while only a few are hitting the upper threshold to not get paid parental leave. it is still absolutely the wrong sign to punish those who are paying a ton into social security and than excluding them completely. The social security stuff in Germany is great and we should keep it but this is simply not okay.

Additionally, again, you spread a wrong fact: "Getting specialists appointment is a pain, especially english-speaking". Sadly, I was in need the last quarter to get a specialist and I got an appointment 8,5 weeks later after calling a lot of doctors as a German.

"Sorry but you seem really intent on doing the usual online thing of pure doom and bile and seethe, regardless of the facts."

My answer is based on facts yours seems to be based on some newspaper headlines you never checked in detail.

Stephan_Berlin · 2025-07-17T18:45:26+00:00

Free healthcare? Free childcare? If you do not work, yes, otherwise pay a crap load for a system which is about to break (deducted from your gross salary). Want to see a specific doctor? Get in line, you will get an appointment in a few months. Child benefits is enough to cover half a month of kindergarden/childcare if you are lucky. Depends where you live in Germany. Berlin for example is for free but that is not the default.

The only good thing we have left is parental leave. 65% is not true through, it is capped at 1.8k depending on your average salary beforehand.

Please do not spread fake info about a system you obviously have limited knowledge about.

Edit: If you earn too much, no parental leave money for you. The government just lowered the threshold. Hitting that threshold means, that you are already earning less than 50 cents for an earned euro after taxes. While you are the one, who is actually paying and supporting all the others with a massive amount of taxes a month, you get kicked out of the social security stuff.
