EffectDeck

Apparently Apple allows apps to modify audio now. EffectDeck, can increase the volume of your earbuds, without making them sound like shit.

My preset for Bose wired earbuds.

Don’t think it does game audio though. Also, opening Philo, it says unable to connect to EffectDeck.

I won’t use EffeTune on my desktop, looks like they used AI. This app probably used AI too. Don’t know of any other apps that do this though.

Bose USB-C Wired Earbuds

That’s the main reason I bought it, more room in my sack now. Sack is lighter though.

Apparently it was delivered yesterday. But I didn’t get it today, guess I really should put the door code in the notes if I can. Think a paper on my door said to do that.

I think most people had to pre order it, and they might be available on the 15th.

I ordered from Best Buy, before it changed to pre order. Last time I looked on there, it just said “coming soon”.

I might have figured out how to correctly put them in my ears, put them in, and then turn. When I went on a walk, I could hear something. After trying to put them in correctly, I walked a little in my apartment, and didn’t hear anything.

Do they block the wind better if they are put in correctly? I don’t seem to need a different tip or wing.

Saying sack is better then bag, or purse. Just like my nut sack.

VLC might have an issue, while walking the music cut out once. Before I left, did once or twice. Don’t know if it’s VLC, or the earbuds. Might be too much of a pain to plug into my desktop. Not sure the front USB C port works.

Well, all the bass should be coming out of my subwoofer now. Change the speaker crossover to 200Hz or 250Hz.

These earbuds are overpriced though, doubt it costs much to make them.

Put Foobar2000 on my phone. Probably used that in Windows a long time ago. Maybe iOS doesn’t like third party apps playing music.

I forgot to say, some guy was running in his boxers. I’d only do that, if I had bigger tits. Don’t think his dick was hanging out, must have a small dick. I wouldn’t run, I’d just walk really slow.

Update
Well, the noise canceling isn’t very good. Worse then my more expensive Bose over the ear headphones. Can still hear people talking. Well still good enough to fall a sleep. Or maybe zone out while walking.

They are loud enough, don’t have to have them up all the way on my iPhone. Plugged into laptop, and it’s louder at a volume of 40, but might actually sound worse. Now that I think about it, my other Bose over the ear headphones, might require the volume up a little too.

It’s more visual, then actually affecting anything.

Had to also, change to the smallest tip things, and wings.

PS5 is finally usable

All firmware up to 13.60 is jailbreakable. I don’t have the PS5 anymore. But I might jailbreak it for them. Guess I should make sure they want that. It has 13.42. And that means I can use the blu-ray jailbreak.

Seems easier, then having to self host the newest jailbreak, which also requires using a web browser. Just have to wait to get blank blu-rays, guess nobody in town sells that. No a DVD won’t work, I looked it up. A 16MB ISO, needs a 25 GB blu-ray.

I turned the internet on it off, and stopped and deleted the update. Then turned it off, and unplugged it. I guess they might actually want the PS5, so I probably won’t be buying it back. Don’t want to buy it back anyways.

If you click the link, for the latest jailbreak, it’s a 404 error. If you go to the project page, it’s an archive.

The subwoofer might be the right volume finally. Hard to get it right, if there’s constant subwoofer on wheels driving by, unfortunately the level on my subwoofer doesn’t work for that.

Found the source of two "subwoofers"

It was the living room air purifiers. That would explain why my noise cancelling headphones can get rid of it, they work great for wind.

Got to leave those on though, they might help my allergies. Just turned them down to 2.

Easier to adjust my own subwoofer, without them on three anyways. I would turn the subwoofer off, on my receiver, and still hear the noise. Only notice the air purifiers though, when music or a show is on.

My oldest air purifier, kept turning off for some reason. Internet just said it might be overheating. I vacuumed it, but the filter wasn’t that bad, probably vacuumed the filter not that long ago. Bunch of cat hair on the outside of it though. Also moved it farther away from coffee table.

Be a bummer if that one dies. Then only one in living room. Suck more dust and hair up, with two. Probably won’t replace it if it dies either. Well, not with one that costs as much.

The noise from outside is obvious now.

Cool games work in a Linux VM in Qemu

Not much point in doing that, just wanted to see if it would work.

Some instructions here.

Flatpak Heroic wouldn’t work, but the one from chaotic-aur works.

I used vm-curator to make the VM. Just edit the raw config, to add the options.

VM_CURATOR_VIDEO_ARGS=(-device virtio-vga-gl,blob=on,hostmem=8G,drm_native_context=on)

Works with the host as Arch Linux, and the guest as Arch Linux.

The mouse has issues though. Might need to change some setting. Or pass the mouse through.

Guess you could keep your main OS super clean if doing that. But Distrobox can be used to do that too.

Panasonic DMC-FZ47 works

Even the flash works, in P mode. I did reset it. Not very good inside though, noise at 800 ISO. Zoom is basically the same as my other lens with the teleconverter. 600mm equivalent. Don’t know what my other lens is equivalent.

Finally got one sharp photo at the max zoom. Need to click the AF/AE lock button. Hard to hold it steady half pressing the shutter button.

There’s a school bus on the other side of the river. I can read the license plate in one photo. Sharp enough for me.

If you zoom in past 100%, you’ll regret it though.

Well, now I know how I might be able to not use a tripod with my other camera. The tripod I bought is too short. Have to bend down, to use it in the sun. This sun hat, might result in less sweating on my head as well. Didn’t walk as far though.

Guess I need a zoom lens that does 300mm now, and use that with teleconverter.

Not sure I’ll try the teleconverter with this Panasonic camera. Might make it even harder to get a sharp image without a tripod.

S mode might be the best mode to use, cause it over exposes. Or maybe that’s just haze. That can be removed in RawTherapee.

The sharp school bus photo, has no haze though. 100 ISO 1/400 sec.

What do I need more then 12MP for? I don’t print many if any photos.

Panasonic DMC-FZ47

I bought that long ago, gave it to my mom. And apparently she doesn’t want it anymore. That’s one way to get something you had in the past back, without rebuying it.

Says it can zoom to 600mm, and my teleconverter, can attach to it directly, without any adapter. It can’t do RAW though. Blow the highlights, and may or may not be fixable with the JPG.

The battery that was dead for who knows how long, is charging.

I remember, I was trying to make the flash not as strong, with a piece of black electrical tape, and then I saw smoke. Then that mode didn’t seem to work. But works on auto I think. Was I trying to use the flash in that other mode? The flash might have issues after the smoke.

Well, don’t need the flash to use outside anyways. And that camera is light too. Might not need a tripod either.

That’s how you see a camera’s LCD in the sun. Now I just need a white beard. Don’t know if any young people wear such a hat. Don’t like baseball caps. Maybe don’t wear that when walking, easy to run into something. The brim can go up though. Then put it down when taking photos.

Otherwise, you might have to look more up in the sky to see.

Power flusher

The high school I went to, got one of those. Seemed like sometime after I clogged the crapper. The person that peed, didn’t clog it. I took a dump before them.

Well, I did that to myself a while back. It’s best to make sure it will flush again. Or wake up with water on the floor. Not sure that’s why water was on the floor last time though. Think the crapper needed surgery. And a new hose.

If your toilet is making more noise then normal, tell management. Or risk a bunch of water getting on the floor.

How much does a power flusher cost? You could really hear that crapper flushing.

I do wonder, how many crappers have I broke in my life?

Not enough PCIe slots

Bent the pins on my motherboard, for the USB 3.0 header. The USB C header apparently doesn’t work, or I broke that too.

The second full size PCIe slot, can’t be used if two NVMe SSDs are in it. The other PCIe x1 slot, is blocked by the GPU.

So I removed the WiFi/BT card. Don’t really use WiFi on my desktop. Got a USB BT adapter. Same one for my Orange Pi 5. A USB 3.0 PCIe card is in the slot the WiFi/BT card was in.

Just waiting for the first thing I ordered from a seller on eBay to come. Thought I ordered both things at the same time, didn’t. I have the USB gender changer, the card doesn’t have a header. But the first thing I ordered, USB A to header, isn’t here yet for some reason. How long should I wait before sending the seller a message? Not even in town yet. Might be lost.

That’s the risk you take ordering anything online.

Well, these headphones, might be able to mostly block out the subwoofers on wheels, that drive by all day.

TP-Link UB500 Plus, the one with a bigger antenna. The ASUS card is probably better, even bigger antennas.

Don't automatically reboot iPhone with idevicediagnostics

Apparently, whatever method that uses to reboot an iPhone, causes it to glitch.

Well, if using a Shortcut, you most likely have to unlock the screen. So it’s not automatic.

iPhones really do require a reboot, or it slows down. Apple still hasn’t figured out how to make good software.

Apparently people are still buying phones. The foldable iPhone is a good investment, as folding phones can only be folded so many times. I wonder what the reseal value is on a non folding foldable iPhone? It only costs 2k new. Is there a big market for foldable phones that no longer fold?
