Some dongles default their volume to 100% (or close to). Android doesn't touch the hardware volume and simply controls the volume of the digital sound it's sending to the DAC I believe.

Thanks, wonder how we can get a wider audience to star this issue. Thought I'd start on Lemmy.

Nice to see some work arounds but ideally we'd see a system wide fix. Let's try get as many people as we can to star this issue!

It's good there are workarounds but it would be amazing to have this fixed system wide! Is there free version of UAPP?

 

Android still doesn't handle USB audio very well. USB DAC dongles have their own volume settings, however Android doesn't ever change this. This means that if a dongle has a preset volume level that is relatively low, android can never go above this.

Someone on Reddit has written a better explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/11wfe05/android_dongle_volume_issue_lets_ask_for_a_fix/

Help us get this issue higher up on android's priority list by pressing the +1 button. I know it probably doesn't affect many users here but thank you anyway!

The OG pixel watch supposedly syncs bedtime mode with pixel phones now. Anyone know how to activate it? Just tried after updating my devices and it doesn't work.

After reading this and some comments, what I've gleaned is that the article is bullshit and piracy truly acts as a competitor in 2 areas - service and content. Many shows are exclusive to a particular platform and therefore the platforms do not need to compete in that area. For the service side of things, I think there has been genuine innovation but it has become stagnant in the last few years and they are referring to old bad practices.

It feels like there is active collusion but perhaps it's just a result of a poorly regulated industry which allows for pseudo-monopolies. My hope would be for regulation mandating that all content must have a second provider, i.e. no more exclusive shows. Give me stranger things on Amazon prime as well. This would force each streaming company to complete for users and still allow the creators to get paid appropriately. I don't know if this would end up making streaming services unviable but it's certainly a lot faster and more consumer friendly.

Would love to hear about the potential downside to this proposal.

So North-Central. Got it. (Am not American and don't know American history very well)

After reading the comments, I've noticed a point that is missing from the other comments. We like to measure things relative to other things. Therefore we should use a unit of measure which you can compare the entire range of expected values for that question simply.

For example how far away is my nearest town centre? 1km. How far away is the nearest city? 10km. How far is it across the country? 500km, How far is it across the continent? 5,000km. How far is it around the equator? 40,000km.

By using all km in this case it's easy to get an idea of the relative distances. But you wouldn't measure your height as 0.0018km. Just my own thoughts!

Got one of these in the UK. Joy to drive!

What are the fantasies and lies that the current crew peddle? From what I've researched, whilst slightly on the optimistic side, they are mostly sticking to the facts.

 

First post on Lemmy! Just wanted to share something I believe can really help solve the disinformation problem around electric vehicles, renewables and associated technologies. You've probably seen these chaps on the Fully Charged Show on YouTube and they are hiring researchers and a team to push back against any disinformation that goes out in the UK media landscape. Perhaps if they get a big enough following it could spread to other countries.

The channel also review electric vehicles and talk about renewables and energy efficiency in the home on their channel: https://youtube.com/@fullychargedshow
