  • That's only like a 2.5% drop. I think McKinsey is soft-pedaling those numbers a bit.

  • Request the stereo stream in your streaming device's audio options. Your tv/headphones are downmixing a surround stream, and doing a shit job of it. The "highly paid professionals" have made a separate stereo mix just for this purpose.

  • That's because old movies were mixed stereo or mono, not surround, and your TV can naturally handle stereo or mono.

    The problem most people in this thread are having is a result of their TV crappily downmixing a surround signal to a stereo signal. You have to set your streaming device to request the stereo stream from your streaming service if you don't have a full-on home theater. Devices by default request the surround stream.

    Any time this comes up in conversation at someone's house, I set their device to request the stereo stream, and it's fixed. Every time.

  • They can. You're listening to the incorrect audio stream on your device. Your device has to request the stereo stream from Netflix or whatever, otherwise it'll just send you a surround stream and then your TV will downmix it badly... resulting in quiet dialogue.

    /work in the industry, we have to hit specific loudness averages and ranges for both dialogue and overall mix. -24 LUFS, if you're curious.

  • Be sure you're listening to the stereo feed and not the surround. You'll need to tell your streaming device to request the stereo feed.

  • Current strains are a lot stronger than what I grew up with. I have no idea if that could make them physically addicting or not, or perhaps physically addicting to a greater number of people or not.

    The psychological addiction though is self-evident. It can become an identity or religion or something for people. Like, any time they're doing something fun and/or unsupervised they have to add weed to it.

    • Why are fediverse admins blocking out threads?

  • I think ActivityPub's license should prohibit financially profiting from the platform.

    EDIT: I mean "should be changed to"

  • It's the interest rate hikes. Tech companies relied on limitless free money from VCs before, without the pressure to turn a profit. That tap's been turned off now, so here we are.
