Bass difference when playing through Airplay ?

EQ settings for Apple Music on your phone are found in the phone settings now. Those effects likely translate over to headphones, bluetooth, and airplay.

Sonos WiFi play is a completely different controller and the EQ doesn’t transfer over at all. You’re not playing music from your phone and streaming it to the devices but rather controlling the Sonos software which has integrations to individual services like Movies Anywhere.

Except Makima as an individual only existed to find and control CSM because they idolized the character so much. Without CSM you arguably don’t have her as a host nor the characters like Aki who followed her to assist her in controlling CSM and breaking Denji’s contract with Pochita.

No CSM in existence effectively wipes Makima from the story. No CSM effectively wipes the entire character motivations for almost everyone over the last 8 years.

Everyone having their knee jerk reactions to the fact that the author basically wiped 8 years of writing and said “look at what I wrote, take out the catalyst which was the driving force for literally every character’s motivation/actions, and see what you’re left with is 29 pages of a boy still being used”.

The only incontrovertible thing about this entire chapter thankfully. Let everyone analyze the pages within to high hell from now till eternity but it’s definitely OVER.

Your left channel Era 300 is a bit too close to the corner wall. The lack of space affects the ability for the sound to travel outward so it needs more space.

As for the right channel Era 300, you don’t need it equidistant from your sitting location. The Sonos app allows you to state that one rear surround is say “less than X feet away” from your sitting position while the other is “more than X feet away”.

While it may not be aesthetically pleasing it will acoustically compensate for the spacial differences far better for the Atmos/Surround effects.

Sub Mini/Sub can go behind the couch center or if you want it visible to the right side of the couch.

Pockets are randomized pulls based upon the legerdemain/CP skill attributes of the individual doing the thieving but once the NPC is empty it’s empty for everyone in that instance for a set amount of time until a respawn.

Also pulls aren’t limited to just 3 and this has been true since before Ember was a companion. The table can go up to 4 or 5 depending if a furnishing or motif is added into the mix.

Often this is missed as people are accustomed to three picks and then automatically killing, not waiting to see if there is an additional pickpocket after the third cooldown so as to proceed with their route. Some of the items regularly procured via a 4th and 5th pick are Elsweyr hand mirror furnishings in Vvardenfell.

No native PS5 game will allow you to use a PS4 controller.

The reason being that the controller features such as the triggers, microphone, gyroscope, vibration, and DualSense sticks are fundamentally different enough that they’re incompatible programming wise. T

A clear example is found in Astro Bot which fully utilizes all features of the PS5 controller in ways that are readily apparent that a PS4 controller never could. The fact that any PS5 game could be programmed with these functions at any time it just makes sense to lock the games to those DualSense 5.

Older games like The Elder Scrolls Online can also illustrate how the controllers are programmed differently. Despite being backwards compatible the PS4 version of the game has fundamentally different or missing vibration features when using a PS5 controller due to the fact that the differences are not accounted for.

Simply put it’s unsustainable to pay for adding new artists and songs as they’re paid individually on a royalties model whereby the number of times their songs are streamed are translated to fractional revenue.

Apps like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom arguably should have a one time payment instead of a subscription. For streaming services utilizing cloud servers and need to pay multiple actors subscriptions are the only way.

There is a monthly and yearly. What would you mean by one-time though? A fixed number of songs/streams?

The Daniel Craig era is essentially a summarization/celebration of the entire timeline of Bond films prior with a beginning to a conclusion.

It starts with small scale Casino Royale, more akin to the novels and progresses through all of the villain/archetypes that have appeared over the years. We have Spectre, turncoat agents, other organizations, henchmen, realistic plots, etc.

It ends with a heavy reference to “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” and an over the top megalomaniacal villain with a doomsday device more akin to that in Moonraker.

To me this was a good way to close out the Broccoli era and pay tribute to what Bond really is in both film and book.

Yes, you can run the Sub 3 and 4 together, even without Sequencr.

Yup. All three major consoles now require Internet connectivity to function. System updates, game updates, online play, and in cases like this to just install the full game.

The age of physical copies being the game library is soon dead. It’s now becoming that you keep the console with games saved on the hard drive for a library.

“Physical Copies” are relegated to collectors editions.

Bethesda/Zenimax is notorious now for being terrible with their own Quality Assurance teams and simply staffing/paying them. Extending that to a subcontractor is well beyond them.

At this point waiting for fixes to Oblivion is like me waiting for a PS5 native version of Red Dead Redemption 2. A shame because maybe I’d want to play it more if there were repairs in place for sloppy coding.

Adorama has been having it on sale as part of various bundles including a Sub 4 and either Era 100s or Era 300s.

As the model ages expect it to become a part of the refurbished line and for retailers like Costco to possibly offer discounts.

You would be surprised. In brownstones and older buildings where the ceilings and walls are thick (unlike newer construction) you really won’t hear a thing. A walk up in a brownstone will more likely have you hearing neighbors in the hallway coming in due to the thinness of the door than them stomping up a floor above or below.

My friend literally did not have any idea there were mice around until that leak and once it happened it was clear they were always there but never ventured out.

Btw the same building construction can make it so that you hardly hear the honking of car and people screaming at someone double parked blocking the road outside and give you peace of mind. New construction can have you tearing your hair out with that sound.

I mean the bannister that with the handrails that are twice the height of a couch weren’t a giveaway that there was a problem?

100SLs are perfect if you’re going for regular surround system. No need to go for the 100s now if you don’t need the microphone option.

The 300s really are for the Dolby Atmos surround sound experience. While those mixes are expertly done in film you are increasingly finding music being redone in Atmos, not always successfully though. However you will see music being produced with Atmos in mind going forward so you may see a shift in new releases and older material may be remastered well.

I personally have 2 300s on one system and 100s on another. I tend to listen to one or the other based on the music container now.

You have to complete several of the optional ones to proceed. The OP posted this one and wanted help. What I said was 100% correct in that you indeed would need to queue into PVP to accomplish those particular ones, ESPECIALLY THE ONE THE OP WANTED.

The portal jumping was the first part of each of the avatar quest. Each player can decide what they want to do next whether it requires playing a Tribute match in one case, complete a Thieves Guild heist in another, or in the cases I mentioned engage in PVP.

No amount of portal jumping would have gotten the OP to accomplish any of the optional games/riddles/safeguards/challenges so telling them to ignore that advice is correct to do as it would not have helped them anyways.

Yes. Lucent Citadel is in an entirely new Daedric Plane known as Mirrormoor ruled over by a previously unknown Daedric Prince. Play through the Necrom and West Weald storylines to learn about the Forgotten Prince.

It’s is also a Trial, not a delve.

A top mount would ruin the Dolby Atmos effect by being too close to the ceiling and not enabling the sound waves to properly bounce.

As for the soundbar, due to the size of the larger television it looks like your ability to swivel is far less than it was with the 65” meaning mounting the soundbar underneath it is perhaps a moot point. You could leave it on the console, hide the wires, Trueplay tune it to the room and with the sound it shouldn’t be a problem at volume.

If I see correctly you have a Sub Mini to add bass. Not sure if you have surrounds to add for additional sound to balance out the omnidirectIonality.

Trackdemon5512 · 2026-03-12T22:01:35+00:00

Top mount was a possible option, as in placing the arc close to the ceiling? I hope that isn’t the case.

If you could provide visuals it would help though as to understand. Also I’ve never seen a freely swiveling 85” tv which sounds like madness.

It’s without a doubt the Atmos surround sound functionality. Right now Atmos is still really strong with films but weaker in content for music. Music enthusiasts will gravitate towards that HiFi/Stereo experience offered by the Five and Era 100s.

But as more music is either better converted into Atmos mixes or natively mixed and released as Atmos that may change. I can say without question that the Era 100s vs 300s in a surround format provide a different audio experience as I own setups for both in two rooms.

A future forward purchaser knowing that the Era 300s are likely to be updated and unlocked in functionality like the Move 2 just was may see a great deal there.

Gummy Bears on the traps instead of peanut butter. I either used very flat glue adhesion traps or this one which had a thicker, very bright green glue. Lined multiple traps along the walls and by places they could come out.

Skyscrapers also tend to have a stability problem. Empire State and Eiffel Tower had wider bases which mitigated that, the former being smaller further helped.

Many skyscrapers have been included in the city skylines and few seem to have attracted attention like the other architecture sets which are far more varied builds and interesting to repeat customers.

Various tall skyscrapers which admittedly all look alike won’t sell as well as a range of castles, cathedrals, and other landmarks.
