Or even if they would just let us bond the TV speakers together to use as a center channel and augment that with a cheap 2.0/2.1 soundbar I bet it would be an improvement in dialogue clarity, even if the imaging would be a bit of a disaster.

Sounds like a rough spot, I'm glad things worked out for you.

Oh I see, I was panicking a bit because I thought you were stating that it was a part of the EO and I couldn't find any references to support it. I don't really have a backup address since I live with my parents at the moment (dealing with said MH diagnosis). Thank you for taking the time to respond OP.

I'd imagine that makes plane flyovers amazing. It's a shame the UHD release of U-571 didn't get any object-based audio, I bet the depth charge scenes would have been really cool.

I recently moved my center channel speaker to above my TV and that has helped dramatically with audio clarity. No more coffee table blocking the voice channel.

In one episode he claimed that he got all the wavelengths at once, compressed through the visor so that his brain could handle it, and that he had to just focus really hard to filter out extraneous ones. He compared it to trying to follow a single conversation in a noisy room (think a bar or club or something). So I guess maybe he could have spent a bunch of time as a teen focusing on that specific wavelength?

I'm in the United States so I read the sections relevant to the United States. I'm just trying to find where this claim of people with a mental health diagnosis needing multiple addresses due to the new EO comes in. That would impact me personally.

That's the same configuration I have, with a Denon amp doing the atmos processing. I had some rear upfiring speakers also but I ditched them because my ceiling is too high for the heights to work anyway D=. Even without the heights though you get SIGNIFICANTLY improved positional audio. Things like panning from front to rear are seamless, especially with timbre matched speakers.

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, full disclosure I have a full atmos system and it's a noticeable improvement in positional accuracy over even DTS-HD Master. I wish there were less expensive solutions though so that it could go mainstream.

According to the sources in the Wikipedia article, in the US at least, the term de-banking wasn't even in popular use until some right-wing nutjobs started claiming that the government was using it to shut down conservative "tech" companies, and then latched onto by people like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk to scam people into replacing their bank accounts with crypto currency.

I don't know what that saying means, but I hate the Trump administration I promise. I hate FUD too though. More FUD = less energy to spend on the actual battles that need to be fought. I have my own mental health diagnosis and currently live in my parent's spare property so what OP said would personally impact me if true. I can't find where it's stated though.
