Microbloat is deprecating something? That’s new. Do AI next.

Yes, let’s blame the victim and not the data hording mega corps that advertise their crap to collect more data, make big promises, hide the better options, and actively undermine open source in every way they can.

I’m pretty sure the average person hears “open source” and think “oh that’s insecure software made by hackers, I need to only use software from trusted sources”. Using only trusted software is still a good idea, but unfortunately the trusted sources of 2002 have betrayed us.

I wouldn’t give full control, maybe 3 faders that allow for a 10% reduction in dialogue, music and SFX. Will if affect artist integrity, absolutely, but so does listening on our consumer speakers and watching the content on our consumer grade displays that aren’t perfectly color balanced in a pitch black room.

There is a hardware device, called a compressor that would solve the problem. Basically it reduces the loudest parts of audio on a gradual curve, which allows you turn up the overall volume.

Affordable ones range $100-$250, which should get the job done. Personally, I wouldn’t go either direction out of that range, more expensive ones will be overkill and cheap ones could sound bad or lack the controls to set it up right)

If you can get analog audio out of the TV in to a speaker/sound bar, it’s easy to setup.

So with a cheaper sound bar and a compressor, you could accomplish this for about $250-$400 depending on how much money you can to throw at the problem,

(Edit, some else pointed out if you use a PC for all your content, you can have software compressor on the PC instead of extra hardware)

Pretty sure MS made this a “standard keyboard” button, which could mean it needs to be included for the OEM to be able to put windows on the machine.

No, when you save a PNG as a jpeg, the background is saved as solid white or black. Saving the checkered pattern requires effort or you’re saving things by taking screenshots.

Next month they’ll quietly add these “features” as background services under a generic name.
