RIP Bose QC15. After 8 years of very frequent use (sometimes daily), you are now officially retired and will be recycled. May your brother in tune, QC35 II, fulfill its duty as well, or even better than you (so at least until 2026) 🫡

#OBS keeps fucking with my #Bose QC45 headphones by removing all of the good sound profiles like AAC, and leaving me with the garbage headset ones such as HSP. I don't need and don't use the microphone on the mic whatsoever, and there's no audio device on my OBS that has the headphone mic selected. Is there really no fixing this?

For context, this was not an issue at all a long while ago (~months) - as per usual on
#Linux, I can never know what causes it in the plentiful things running in the tech stack, whether it's the audio drivers or DE or OBS itself, but I'm running #KDE Plasma on #EndeavourOS and OBS itself is running the latest version available as #Flatpak.

Another consolidation: #Bose buys #McIntosh audio. I hate it.

“McIntosh was previously owned by Highlander Partners, a Dallas-based private equity firm.” I’m sure the purchase by #privateEquity has something to do with it. Every business sold to private equity soon dies or is sold for parts.

CNBCBose buys McIntosh, storied maker of high-end luxury audio equipmentMcIntosh has been making high-end amplifiers and other audio equipment since 1949, and one of its devices can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

So.. my Dad took several courses from legendary Dr. Bose at MIT (class of '68) Episode 1.

In which, Dr. Bose had instructed his students that he heard it was customary when someone made a joke to make a hissing sound. And that he found that a "very ugly sound", and would prefer that his students "not do that". He repeated this message on several occasions.

A few weeks later, he began dropping "awful puns" in his lectures. (I love this part. What a devious bastard)

So, one kid made a hissing sound. (not my Dad, he had oodles of respect for Bose and his puns)

"WHO DID THAT? I ASK YOU TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF"

* silence *

He asked once more...

* silence *

"VERY WELL. I SHALL LEAVE"

With that, Dr. Bose turned on his heel, walked out of the room. He flung the chalk over his shoulder on the way out, and it landed in the chalk tray. The class was speechless.

Dr. Bose continued to lecture at MIT until the 1990s.

RIP Dr. Bose. You absolute legend.

ちなみに、音楽 CD を #Mac で再生して #Bluetooth で接続する #Bose のポータブルスピーカーで音出したんだけど、最初 #macOS のデフォルトの #Music アプリで再生しようとしたら、出力先が外部スピーカーだと再生できなかったのって #AppleMusic に課金してないからだろうか… :tony_neutral:
結局 #VLC で再生したけど、つい昔の #iTunes アプリの感覚で再生しようとしてしまったら、いまや #Mac はデフォルトのアプリではサブスク課金しなきゃ外部スピーカーで音楽聴く事もできないのか…と一瞬愕然とした気持ちになった。

まあそれだけ「音楽 CD」というメディアがマイナーになったってことなんだろうな :tony_smirking:

Oh please, stop this BS about compassion and creator.

You are a #Hamas-simp who does not see lack of compassion in deliberately killing civilians using rocket launches.

What happened to APA research paper you were going to write?

You learned nothing from the #UncannySimilarities between #BritishIndia and #BritishPalestine, nor from the difference between #Gandhi (peaceful) & #Bose (violent)

And you have the chutzpah to lecture me on peace and compassion?

#Bose brought #WWII to #Indian soil. The #Japanese invasion of #India in 1944 resulted in the fiercest battle in #Kohima, which saved India from Japanese occupation.

Japanese Army launched #OperationUGo to inspire a rising among Indians against British rule. A month EARLIER, the Japanese had launched #OperationHaGo intended as a feint to draw British attention away from Kohima where the brunt of the U-Go attacks would take place.

>> #AOC aide wears T-shirt proclaiming "Netaji #Bose was not a '#NAZI Collaborator'"

He was. AOC's aide is doing what all NAZI-simps do — disavow truth & engage in revisionism.

If Bose had succeeded, #India would be a vassal state of #Japan

No country fights for another #inTheirName without exacting a price. When American's invited #French to fight #British, they specifically excluded French troops & territorial claims.

Bose didn't do any of those things.
