I love how everyone think your audio settings can do anything about this.
Unless you control the mixing, you get what you get. When Christopher Nolan wants mumbling followed by jet engines, you will suffer accordingly. I still have no idea what Tenent was about between the fucky time shifting and the godawful sound mixing, but I stopped caring half way through.
I used to read The Drive. I read an article about all of the nonsense with Carlos Gnosn being smuggled out of Japan in a shipping crate and then they had an interview with him.
Whomever was interviewing them was just serving up softball after softball. No real content, just letting the guy spout off about whatever opinion he had. No actual details about what happened with his prosecution in Japan. In the comments, I made note of the one-sided nature of the interview. They deleted the comments. I commented that they're deleting comments (I saw a few others that were saying the same thing deleted). They deleted those comments too. I stopped going there. Fuck that.
Now we have this fucking piece of shit article written by some fucking corporate bootlicker, serving up more softballs to a known piece of shit. The author was fucking arrested because of some Flock shit and he's defending Flock? How fucking stupid do you have to be?!
Fuck The Drive and anyone who writes for them. Fuck the nobody author, fuck Garret Langley.
"Well, we just bought this new monitoring platform from my cousin's company and they need access to it. No, their platform doesn't support any real secure protocols and won't route over a VPN, it needs to be on the same subnet as the devices. Ok, then just open all ports to the network so they can connect. No, they don't know what port or protocol, it also runs out of my cousin's house so it's on a dynamic IP so you can't create some type of access rule for it. Just put an any/any rule in and it's good. What do you mean we already have a monitoring platform? Well, this one is better!"
I hold out the thin hope that manufacturers will not want to split their product lines any more than they have to and will make these devices available globally.
It's possible that they want to hang on to the revenue streams that making irreparable garbage generates, but it would have to be greater than the cost of designing and manufacturing a second product line for most of their stuff.
Kind of how like when dumbass apple was forced into USB-C in the EU and they finally gave up on their own charge cables globally.
Are we talking about the same apple that invented a new type of screw to keep people from taking their phones apart? The same apple that once people could get a trilobe driver, then made it so that generic replacement screens would not work because of some protection from non-apple hardware? Then went on to make sure that you can't use non-apple parts in a laptop?
I'm willing to bet that there are a core of talented systems engineers that built out the control systems for water plants. They are smart people that care deeply about what they do.
Their "leadership" however is usually made up of a loose group of interchangeable clowns that cycle in and out based on connections, nepotism and financial incentives. Their job is to do stuff to impress other important people and that usually means cutting costs. Sometimes it means getting into bed with a vendor or other company so they can profit from the relationship.
They will direct the engineers to use stupid shit, turn off controls, use platforms that are wholly inappropriate.
They will make a mess out of a system that was designed well to the point where fixing all the problems is impossibly expensive. They will declare that its good enough and then take their next job.
I have watched this cycle happen over and over. Current company has about 10+ years of problems stacked up and it would cost more to fix them than the company makes in revenue for a few years. They won't be fixed.
No. The software is deeply embedded and locked down tight. There is no reliable means of interfacing with it beyond what is exposed in the touchscreen interface.
Only BMW dealers using their proprietary software can do anything and even they are limited to what is exposed to them.
This is the same with all modern cars. Sorry.
Accutane will indeed do it, but it's kind of heavy-duty. There are less powerful antibiotics you might want to try first with fewer side effects.
But yeah, you can dick around with soaps, "don't touch your face" (yeah, right that's some judgy bullshit) and other stuff that implies that the individual is somehow dirty, has poor hygene, has poor diet or other habits but in the end, it's bacterial.
Never feel bad about going to the doctor to get real medical interventions. If tea tree oil and other bullshit actually worked, it would be a lot more expensive.
If you have the mobile app installed, it's running GPS in the background anway. High accuracy mode just ups the frequency of checkin to your liking. Besides, you only need to have it on for a minute or so to determine vector. You probably already have it, but if there is any question, going high accuracy for a moment will answer it.
I don't find that high accuracy does much to battery life as long as you're smart with it. There are may ways to configure it so it won't eat your battery.
I use home assistant and have a dashboard button that triggers an automation.
Using the notification action, I turn off do-not-disturb, turn off Bluetooth (so it doesn't pipe sound to earbuds or remote audio), set notification mode to on (not vibrate) and set the notification volume to max. I used to loop the default notification sound, but then switched so that the notification uses a new channel entirely and set each phone with a song so it will play for a while. You can silence it with the volume key.
Took a little tinkering to get it right, but works really well.
It came up on a leadership meeting at my company. As soon as the question came up, the CEO's face pinched up into a pissy snarl. He then threatened us with coming in five days instead of four.
