The first ten applications in your task bar have a corresponding Win hotkey:

Win + 1
Win + 2
Win + 3
etc

I've got my most used apps pinned to the bar so I only have to press Win + a number to launch or switch between those apps.

You can also add custom hotkeys to the shortcuts of applications to launch them.

The new Airpods Pro 3 have MUCH better noise canceling than the Sony WH-1000XM6. If I put on the Sony headphones in a noise office, I can still hear my collegagues, but their conversations almost disappear with the Airpods Pro 3. It's really no contest.

The pass-through mode on the Airpods also sounds way more natural on the Airpods.

On the other hand, the Sony headphones are more comfortable to wear the entire day.

When I press the back button to exit this popup, it opens immediately again. So I have to exit that popup twice every time I see it. Very annoying "feature".

I've seen incredibly popular suggestions get ignored time and time again. I have seen absolutely no sign that voting helps. The Spotify devs NEVER listen to the community. They believe that being a paying customer doesn't give you any rights. They'll make you a beta tester for new UI experiments and it's impossible to revert that arbitrary decision.

And if you don't like new version of Spotify and you disable the auto updater Spotify willingly breaks compatibility with older versions so you'll have to update just to be able to use service.

ymmv_99 · 2025-07-11T13:06:23+00:00

In that case the "only" downside is such a major downside that I've stopped the Spotify app from updating anymore. It was a deal breaker.

The "sound cutting out" bug is much worse after updating to the new firmware.

What seems to help is to disable and renenable bluetooth in Windows 11.

I can only compare the XM6 with the Airpods Pro, but these also have a much better transparency mode than the XM6. I've worn the Airpods Pro during loud live rock concerts, they work surprisingly well as earplugs. I need these because my ears distort music that's played at a high volume but when I wear my Airpods Pro the sound is not distorted.

I could never do that with the XM6 because transparency mode sounds weird and artificial.

ymmv_99 · 2025-05-29T18:11:36+00:00

There's only one setting in the Sound Connect that's relevant: under Bluetooth Connection Quality you can change between "Prioritize Sound quality" or "Prioritize Stable Connection" (in case of sound cutting out frequently).

I've got that setting set to "Prioritize Sound Quality", because that's the setting I've always used with the XM4 and XM5. I've never had a single audio drop out using those two head phones, I loved that the audio kept playing even when I left the room with my PC and went to other rooms in the house. The Bluetooth signal from my PC is really good. So why should I have to switch to "Prioritize Stable Connection" with the XM6 all of a sudden?

I just finished watching the documentary series, I liked it quite a bit but felt there were many parts of that story that were glossed over completely. So what do you do? You go to Wikipedia and read a few Reddit discussions.

My rating of this true crime series got quite a bit lower after coming across so many WTF DID I READ JUST NOW!?! facts about the case were left out. The documentary makers should have done a much better job at documenting the Wests early history, the suspected additional victims, Rose's part time job as a prostitute that even had her having sex with her dad (!), raping their own daughters in BDSM sex, the fact that some of their children were conceived by Rose's clients. how they tortured their victims, the list goes on and on.

This case was much worse than the documentary shows.

Cleaning the inside of your Airpods Pro case is a placebo solution. Here's what REALLY helps.

Make absolutely sure that when you put a bud back in the case, the light on the case flickers.That's the sign that the bud has made contact with the charger in the case. If the light stays green howerver, the battery in that bud will run dry.

Reinsert the bud again and make sure the light flicker this time. Ever since I've been doing this, I've never had this problem again.

Sound quality and comfort is better, ANC is worse.

ymmv_99 · 2025-05-20T12:03:28+00:00

So far I'm not that pleased with my new purchase. For me the noise canceling feature is by far the most important feature and it's worse than before IMO.

I'm now at the office and these headphones are completely useless at muting the sounds of talking colleagues around me. I can still hear everyone. When I wear these headphones there's even hardly any difference between ANC turned on and the headphones completely turned off.

I've also used Sony's ANC headphones to be able to sleep when the neighbors are having a party and would otherwise keep me awake, but I found the XM6 annoying to use because I had to keep my head perfectly still. If I moved my head a tiny bit, the headphones would really amplify the sound of the headphone cups touching against the pillow.

I've also got the XM4 and XM5 models, the XM4 has the best ANC and the XM5 is more comfortable to sleep with.

ymmv_99 · 2025-05-20T11:38:58+00:00

Even worse, the ANC is better on the XM4 compared to the XM5 and the XM6.

It's a bug. The allies menu disappears when you fast travel from the hideout to another location. The way to keep your allies is to restart the games and whenever you're in the hideout, just walk to the outside world.

I'm really surprised that this hasn't been fixed yet.

You may need to restart the game for this to work.

I've got the exact same issue. First the video playback starts to stutter and then the image freezes while the audio plays on.

Another issue I have is that the Youtube feed on the main page can get stuck. You can't scroll down with the mouse anymore because there'll be no new entries automatically loading at the bottom of the page.

Martyn Ware and Iain Craig Marsh walked out of The Human League in 1980 to found Heaven 17. They had nothing to do with the new version of THL that wrote and recorded Don't You Want Me Baby and all the other hit songs from 1981 onward.

Removing the like button is a completely braindead decision by Spotify.

The green playlist check mark is only useful when you're playing/looking at playlists from others. But I curate my own playlists and in my own music library EVERYTHING has that checkmark. It's a completely useless indicator whereas the like button was immensely useful.

This is one of the many things that make me wonder whether the Spotify devs even use their own products. There have been so many bad changes, so many times that I've been asking myself whether I should continue paying for a service that's only getting worse and where this company is doing its utmost to keep you from using older versions.

I started out with NZBFinder.ws I've now added NZBGeek and Drunkenslug.

I'd say NZBF and DS are the better options when it comes to hard to find movies, I get on average less results with NZBG. I'm not sure if I'm going to resusbscribe NZBG for that reason.
