What's the reason you asked this question? I mean, yeah, you could have stayed silent, and nowadays everyone assumes that pointing out obvious things in a condescending tone is kind of insightful, just because you used enough ellipses.
Back then we all knew: vague rhetorical questions aren't arguments.
Technically, it's not a big surprise at all that someone would restate "you are the product" like it's a revelation. There is nothing novel at all.
And non-technically, yeah, as you said... You tried to weather a paragraph of empty meaning. You know that this comment says absolutely nothing actionable. You've known since word one. Nobody can actually be stupid enough to not instantly see that. It's impossible to not understand it.
Your strategy so far was to just scold. Who of you has expected a productive outcome, given this "mediocre" contribution, to say it veeeeeery friendly?
The video shows closer to 2 seconds for it to finally throw itself over in what could only be described as a "Thunk". I figured it would be a little more smooth.
I 100% agree with this take: adding Bandcamp to this "media" app is a really shitty thing to do.
I personally know a few musicians who use Bandcamp to either exclusively make a living (along with touring), or to supplement their income. Some are overjoyed when they get a few sales a week on a release. This POS software denies that opportunity.
Either way, 99% of the artists are small independent musicians, and this just skips the Purchase album or track and just freeloads off the small MP3 player on each album page.
I've had the same issues as you, and here are some things I've done or tried as a remedy.
Try going into Android "Developer options" and enable the option "Disable Absolute Volume". Some devices cannot handle the way Android maps the "master" volume of the system to Bluetooth. With the option enabled you will have a separate slider to adjust the Bluetooth volume, and the volume buttons will instead only control the "Media" volume.
An alternate thing to do is under the same Developer Options is instead of disabling Absolute control is to change the Bluetooth AVRCP version to at least v1.5. v1.5 AVRCP introduces the Absolute Volume control functionality.
But, it could also be what you may have are Bluetooth devices that do not support Absolute Volume, or lack AVRCP v1.5 compatibility. If none of this works, I suggest purchasing the "Precise Volume 2.0 + Equalizer" app. I use this as it gives you more fine-grained control over the number of steps in the volume slider (for example, I now have 100 steps). It also allows you to calibrate the number of steps to a specific device, so you can literally change how many steps from quiet to loud. It's worth all of the $10 it costs, and has other nice quality of life features as well.
We need another Bell Labs where people can experiment without immediate monetization. Look at the history of lasers and such. Took decades but now we have femto pulse lasers for Lasik and such.
Kinda related, anyone know of something similar for Windows? This is definitely going in my toolkit, but I need something similar for Windows client traffic inspection (tls 1.2+) to get the full picture. Working with proprietary client/server coms over tls. Can use a special debug build, but requires shutting down and replacing. Need something in-sutu.
I may not email as it isn't a serious pursuit, but more curiosity. Thank you for the invitation! My current fascination is in separation and classification. And modular synthesis where I guess DSP stuff comes about if translating into the digital domain.
Prosecute the scrap metal yards more harshly, have a "police book" like used car lots and pawn shops. Document the person selling, get a photo of the same with the persons face, etc, etc.
Only allow maximum amounts of metal to be recycled unless said person has a registered business, per day/week/whatever. Regulate it.
There isn't an incentive if you can't sell it. As a commentator indicated below people were scrapping fire hydrants. Wouldn't this be a huge red flag??
"Oh yeah, I see you have 5 hydrants here to sell. I can't think of where these could have possibly have come from."
The biggest challenge to this is weather. Do you really want to roll down your window and get soaked in a rainstorm to pick a #1 with a diet coke?
Most drive-thrus I've ever seen (Ohio, US) have zero cover and you are completely exposed to whatever mother nature wants to throw at you. Even the service window itself may have a tiny 24" awning that barely helps. In fact in my experience during rain it makes it worse as you get runoff right on top of the vehicle since they don't have rain gutters.
How about some screenshots?
Its very difficult to compare X to Y anywhere on this site. Its just an aggregator, not really an exemplary resource.
