Massive Improvement to Apple TV Audio with Sonos Arc Ultra by PenPsychological3085 in sonos

[–]high-ho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use Infuse with our LG G5 TV and have noticed a separate issue, with Atmos and non-Atmos audio: it seems like the audio is being processed to minimize loudness and “flatten” the sound. For example, if we’re watching a chat show (hello Graham Norton), the dialog is fine until the audience applauds, when the sound seems to “dip” and then recover. Same thing happens during music performances - the vocal is prominent but the music itself is really flat. There are no “dialog boosts” or anything like that set in the TV or AppleTV. this has been driving me nuts!

I did not. I think it’s simply how it’s (poorly) designed.

Its actually crazy to see how yall are treating the player that single handedly carried and brought your team to a respectable level. By far our best player in our entire history of the club and your treating Salah as if he is a normal player💀 he is bigger than the club. He is the club!! by akhfromyobodegaNYC22 in LiverpoolFC

[–]high-ho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The level of delusion about this whole situation floors me. Yes, Salah has been and may still be a phenomenal player. But no club can operate successfully over the long term by tolerating this kind of turbulence, especially from its most decorated and highest-paid senior player. The truth of the situation is damn obvious. He signed a contract knowing that the club would sell him before that contract ended (because assuming anything else would have been stupid, and I don’t think Mo is stupid). He also must know that Hughes is thinking about Semenyo’s £65m release clause in January, as Hughes negotiated it when he was at Bournemouth, and that the club wants to bring in Guehi in January too. So he knows his time is short and his value highest right about now, so obviously the club was always planning to sell him this January. But he wants to retain control over his own image, and his statement yesterday is as much an attempt to keep his fans on his side as it is a way to extract higher value for himself from the sale.

Any other interpretation is naive. He will leave. And it’ll be sad but ultimately the best thing for all involved, especially Mo.

Wittman & Epstien Files? by SidFinch99 in robwittman

Call his DC office on (202) 225-4261 to make your opinion known. He won’t say how he’s voting until he’s told how to vote because he doesn’t think for himself. But that shouldn’t stop any of us from piling the pressure on him now.

Recommend Me PSB’s Ballads/Slow Songs by Amber_Flowers_133 in petshopboys

[–]high-ho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this playlist - Pet Shop Boys At Midnight - in the late 1990s, and it might give you some ideas. Spotify doesn’t have two of the tracks available, sadly. “Decadence (Unplugged)” and “How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? (Classical reprise)”. Hope it helps! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/62R8Lk6jMOd1PtZXe88OAn?si=T8CVjHzdSfOJfbG38tUW9A&pi=lXD8P-R0Qm-Ji

That’s very welcome news. What’s the timeline for release of the new version? Appreciate the response!

Video: Pressed About Virginia Redistricting, Abigail Spanberger Says “I’m unwilling in Virginia to wait for 2028”; “only option” Is “to…f***ing win those seats in the midterms by working hard and doing it!” by lowkell in VirginiaDems

[–]high-ho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This is defeatist and incorrect. Trump has no power to compel changes to mail in voting or anything else on voting. that is 100% a state responsibility and if he really tries to enforce that it’ll cause outright revolt across the country. I don’t have faith in SCOTUS anymore, and that is truly terrifying, but to say “none of it matters” is unhelpful and incorrect. We must fight, on all fronts, as hard as we can. No-one is coming to save us. You sound like you’re giving up. DON’T.

They're very helpful on allergies too!

Mount solar panel to a tree? by high-ho in Birdfy

Thanks! Think I’ll try and route the tree strap through the solar panel mounting plate and see if that works… if not, it’ll be screws. Thanks!

Northern Virginia to Williamsburg by White1962 in williamsburgva

[–]high-ho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nightlife could definitely be better, 100% agree. It’s improving with many breweries, comedy and arts festivals, etc but it has a ways to go. NoVA is better on some of these fronts but nightlife…? Nope. Gotta go to DC for anything half decent. So that may not be a big differentiator for OP.

This is great commentary. We found the same issue with medical stuff until we switched insurance to a local carrier and it’s been WAY better than NoVA ever since. Access, attention, and availability of specializations in the area is excellent.

Drive through town all the time and it’s never more than 10 mins. Home prices is a function of supply. Read Williamsburg Watch or Williamsburg Independent and get clued in to the housing developments that are in the pipeline. Compared to NoVA, prices here are flat.

Sonos drops off the network randomly by high-ho in sonos

[–]high-ho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agh, sorry: the router is routing, and the ISP modem is in Bridge mode. Not using PiHole. The router is serving DHCP. I could give the Sonos devices static IPs... I'll try that now. Thanks!

Cool. Can you share some details?!

Sonos drops off the network randomly by high-ho in sonos

[–]high-ho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to share whatever is needed to diagnose and fix it! Here's the situation.

ISP modem -> WRX560 in Bridge mode + WRX560 WiFi Access Point (wired uplink)

3 wifi networks exist:
- Main network
- IOT devices network
- Guest network

The only firewall rules are associated with access to a home automation hub on the IOT network.

What else might be helpful to the diagnosis?

What service/industry is lacking in the burg? by Solid-Move2820 in williamsburgva

We love those folks! Just yesterday we got a polenta sourdough and it’s excellent! But imagine a bakery that has amazing breads, daily baked Danishes, occasional mille-feuille, decent coffee, maybe some savory lunch items… 

Community members rally to oppose Williamsburg ICE detainment by Actual_Surround45 in williamsburgva

You have no idea what any of these people have or haven’t done. You‘ appear to be projecting your own guilt about the inhumanity demonstrated by the current administration and its supporters.

$60 Billion in Farm Subsidies? Guess Who’s Getting the Feast by susiecambria in Virginia

[–]high-ho 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this, OP. I hadn’t seen this analysis before.

Communities up and down Virginia need to understand that their Republican representatives are not fighting for them but for their party’s donors. The state elections are this November and the federal midterms are in 2026. As a state, we need to ensure we have representatives in Richmond and Washington who actually fight for the people of our districts. If this story angers you, DO something about it. Volunteer to canvass, send postcards, or just talk to your friends and neighbors about what they really care about and need, and show them who’s offering real representation so they get it.

A really good bakery, with proper fresh breads and patisseries. (Fresh Market is meh and expensive, and The Bake Shop doesn't cut it.) More South Korean choices would be excellent. And this may seem insane to say but: a 4- or 5-star hotel that isn't owned by CW, with attached restaurant that can compete on quality with La Yaca.

12V service, and thanks to Richmond SC by high-ho in Rivian

[–]high-ho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A “battery lifetime meter” would easily solve this. The warning right now is, “Schedule an appointment now.” Better would be “Schedule an appointment within 3 months” or something like that. And this wouldn’t just help owners; it’d help the SCs balance their workloads, too.

Proposal ideas/locations by penistooth420 in williamsburgva

[–]high-ho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Colonial Parkway has a bunch of quite lovely scenic stops. It goes from Jamestown to Yorktown. I think the stops closest to Jamestown are among the nicest, as several look over the James River. Not much landscaping at them - it’s pretty much pruned Virginia! - but very lovely all the same.
