What did I post that was wrong?

This article was a bunch of BS with no actual help. (Very disappointing, because they're usually a lot better than this).

Nothing in that article would make any difference whatsoever. Meta would still track you, unabated, even with those changes.

Don't listen to the people saying there's an issue anywhere.

All this racist nonsense is just that - nonsense.

I've lived or worked for extended periods in numerous states, from Maine to Alabama, North Dakota, Washington, Texas, California, and all over the midwest, especially in rural areas (worked with trucking companies), and you really don't see all the racism people claim on the internet, even in the trucker world.

Yea, you'll find an ass here and there, but that's very much the exception today. Far more so than even the 70's, when being openly racist in a small town was tolerated a lot more ("the older generation don't know no better" kind of stuff).

So come to the US. You'll be fine anywhere except specific areas in certain inner cities (and that's a general crime issue, not a race issue).

Not really, it's not the 50's or 60's.

99% of people don't give a shit.

I don't understand why people find rice difficult.

Put it in a pot with appropriate amount of water, and simmer till done.

Manufacturers want them - they break more easily

Also "allows"? I think "enables" or "does it for them" are probably more accurate.

Yea, crappy mixing. It may technically be "excellent" mixing, but only works in a theater.

Even that isn't true, pretty much every movie I've seen at the theater in recent years, the dialog is hard to hear.

Damn, 5 years from LTS? That's impressive

Thank the asshole directors for choosing to make sound so crappy any more (my opinion, I think all movies have crap mixing, with too much focus on sound effects so even when voice is brought forward it's still hard to hear clearly).

Part of it is the movie audio is mixed for a theater that has multiple channels and speakers, so the output is the better separated and voice can be delivered better. It would need to be remixed to sound better at home, and since all homes are very different, what would you target? (Plus they simply don't want to pay extra for mixing which doesn't contribute to seats in a theater). Yea, they could probably use a generic mix, but again, it costs to do so, and some home users would still (justifiably) complain.

The other is some directors intentionally crapify the mix because they want a certain experience while watching the movie in the theater. One director recently even stated he wanted dialog to be difficult to understand in certain scenes (I forget what movie). I get the director's intent, even if I disagree.

The only solution for home that I know is to have a sound system that can manage the separate channels. Many systems now have a sound bar just for voice, so this is already happening to some degree, but I rarely see discrete volume controls for the channels.
