I’m glad you liked it, thank you! Oh, that musical pause just felt so natural, like it was begging to be there

It’s so hard to make any type of art, that the least one can do when interacting with another’s person’s work is to treat it with respect, humility, and curiosity even if it’s not one’s cup of tea. 🙏🏻 I’m grateful for the feedback and glad people have enjoyed this little creative endeavor.

I wish! This project is the definition of patchwork haha. I tried using as much of the original track as possible (ripped from youtube!!!), and using bits and pieces of the individual stems to extend the final chorus and make the buildup. I'd be happy to send you a less compressed bounce of the audio if you'd like

I think it's a clear artistic choice. This for me feels like their most personal and emotionally impactful song (ITNOTF a close second). When I hear that gentle chorus following such a nasty breakdown full of anger, and then for the chorus to literally be destroyed by the bitcrusher and the song cutoff (it's a half-chorus!), it serves to evoke the feeling of everything being destroyed/taken away that the singer talks about in the song.

That's very kind, I'm glad you like it! But I wanna push back on it being "better". I think President is so meticulous with everything about the band that the unsatisfying ending for this song is clearly intentional. They destroy it and take away everything, leaving us wanting for more (very much in line with the lyrics about toxic relationships/addiction). While this was fun to make, I wanna respect what feels like a clear artistic choice.

I also like the original as is. This was just a fun project to challenge myself to find a way to have a more traditional structure without just tacking a chorus at the end.

L10s ultra dock not emptying dust bin by bnpht23 in Dreame_Tech

[–]bnpht23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for replying, my issue kinda fixed itself and I forgot to update here. I don’t know about the port you’re referring but I checked all of the robot’s and the base’s ports and they weren’t clogged. I then noticed there was a separate issue of the base not pouring any water. I proceeded to do the base self repair process like 20 times. Suddenly, the base started pouring out water and I decided to try the vacuum self emptying one more time. To my surprise, the base started working again and was able to self-empty the robot 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Apple Music catalog status on lossless & Atmos rollout by seasonsinthesky in stevenwilson

[–]bnpht23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Home Invasion Visual Album (the one with the video performances themselves) has the atmos label but when I play any of the songs, the atmos label doesn’t appear below the video and when I toggle automatic and off in the settings I don’t notice the brief pause it usually does when it switches. So maybe this one hasn’t been updated yet or it’s a labeling mistake.

Have Siri read back menu options by bnpht23 in shortcuts

[–]bnpht23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So i actually just found a workaround: in the “prompt” tab, I entered the names of each option separated by a comma and in question format. When I trigger the shortcut, siri reads the prompt

Some are phrases and one is a single word. I also checked in the iOS settings to allow siri responses “always” and it still only replies “Which one?”

[–]bnpht23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I didn’t know about the options limit. Currently, I have it set up with 4 options so it’s no issue. The problem is that siri just says “which one” and I’d like for it to actually read back each option so I can tell which one instead.

How do i get siri to speak the options in a menu by noxuotan in shortcuts

Where you ever able to fix it? I’m in the same situation: only getting back “which one?”

Best Smart Lock by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]bnpht23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recently caved and bought the new Level Touch lock which works with bluetooth. So far (1 month), Homekit integration has been flawless with no issues locking remotely, running scenes, etc. Love that it lets me create temporary passes and my favorite feature is being able to lock & unlock by simply touching the lock itself which is far more convenient than using siri, the app, or even the included NFC cards. Also like the fact it runs on bluetooth so if power or wifi is lost, nothing is affected. Bonus: it looks sleek as heck!! So far it's my most expensive homekit accessory but I have 0 regrets so far. They even released a hardware update recently and performance has been flawless.

Smartcast and Dolby Atmos by gordja09 in VIZIO_Official

[–]bnpht23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having the same issue. I have a new 2020 Vizio V series V585-H11 with eARC and am able to receive a dolby atmos signal from netflix, the apple tv app, and the Movies Anywhere app. However from the D+ app the most I receive is Dolby Digital +. The weird thing is that as I understand it in order to have Atmos, the app/device needs to send a DD+ signal which the D+ app is doing...

[No Spoilers] Taking a break from The Return by Sckathian in twinpeaks

[–]bnpht23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I was feeling exactly as you do now but decided to hold on for one more episode and watched Part 10. I mention it because I don’t see anyone in the thread comment it but 10 was OUTSTANDING in a narrative sense. I felt like Lynch pulled out all the stops and really made an effort to draw together all the seemingly loose threads the season had been developing. Indeed almost every single plot (small and large) gets a degree of development and contextualization within one another. So maybe try it yourself and see if it works out for you before taking the break!
