I know, but do TV shows to it?

I understand that it dynamic range is necessary and having none is terrible (look up “loudness wars” in the recording industry), but it seems TV shows are no longer mastered for a actual home consumption.

Back in the day, we would work on our nice studio monitors, switch to a pair of NS10s to make sure it would sound good on a cheap Hifi, but we would also make it sound good on something garbage. Sometimes (always in fact) this was to the detriment of how sound on good gear, but 99% of people use garbage.

Until 6 months ago I had 2Mb/s (with a tailwind) DSL that had a consistent 10% packet loss.

I feel I have earned my 2Gb/s fibre!

We used to call it “compression” and itwas an essential part of the recording process. It seems TV shows don’t do that anymore.

Been running one for 10 years, mostly as a NAS. Ran Openstack on it for a while, oVirt also. Currently just running KVM and an NFS server to keep it simple.

I do want to put one of the community firmwares on it. That way I can use an HDD in the optical bay in AHCI mode, but the tools only exist for Windows as far as I can tell.
