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.

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.

If you're still using firefox, right click -> copy clean link. works most of the time.

Sorry, /s means sarcastic. If anything I would absolutely expect them to pay for multiple mixes/masters given what's been said about how people consume it.

I'm not sure but Dolby Atmos might be responsible for some of it. Dolby Atmos lets the engineers assign coordinate values to each "sound object" in the scene, then your receiver takes that information, along with the room calibration mic info and your speaker layout, and actually generates the channels itself based on the listeners position within the scene. As an example, if an object is moving from front to rear then the engineers no longer have to pan it between channels, just tell the coordinate system that the sound is moving "that way" and let the receiver take care of it. Maybe engineers just not putting as much work into making discrete channel audio mixes anymore when the "gold standard" no longer uses discrete channels/tracks.

In the early days of television, directors really only had the choice of using theater trained actors since those were all that existed. Theater actors are trained to speak in that way so that they can be clearly understood on stage even without mics. But people don't actually speak that way, and modern directors seem to have a preference for "natural performances" so I wouldn't necessarily blame the actors. They may just be doing what they've been directed to do.

ah yes, the forbidden curl hack

What would be the alternative? You don't really expect the streaming companies to pay for TWO masters do you!? (/s if it wasn't obvious)

Everyone here needs to watch Palm Springs.
