[ad_1] THX’s Deep Note “The Audience is Listening” theme, created by digital audio pioneer Andy Moorer with 20,000 lines of code, has been updated multiple times over the years.

Siege’ adds a ‘Fortnite’ style Battle Pass
[ad_1] Much like other games, Siege‘s full-fledged Battle Pass will be divided into free and paid tracks. You can earn items by completing goals in either track, but you can safely presume that the most desirable goodies will only be available in the paid tier. Either pass will shed more light on Rainbow director Dr. […]
Cops put a stop to Amazon’s 30-cent ‘Mrs. Maisel’ gas promo
[ad_1] The August 15th “Maisel Day” promo also offers 1959 prices for food, hotel stays, movie tickets and other common purchases, although it’s safe to say those didn’t create nearly as much trouble. Earlier campaigns, such a Carnegie Deli discount last winter, also went comparatively smoothly. We’ve asked Amazon for comment. With that said, it […]
Tesla in Moscow crashes into tow truck while on Autopilot
[ad_1] Another Tesla crash might serve as a reminder that Autopilot isn’t flawless. Driver Alexi Tretyakov reported that his EV (said to be a Model 3) crashed into a parked tow truck on Moscow’s Ring Road while Autopilot was active. The owner said the August 10th incident occurred while he was driving at the speed […]
Ninja calls out Twitch after his dormant channel highlights porn
[ad_1] Needless to say, Ninja saw a number of problems with the move. It’s not just that Twitch effectively replaced his presence with recommendations, something he said wasn’t true of “any other” channel, it’s that it was tarnishing his brand. Kids could have seen this material, and he didn’t have any control over it. While […]
Porsche Taycan test drive shows the EV’s repeatable launch control
[ad_1] Where Tesla’s cars ask you to explicitly confirm their Ludicrous Plus mode and generally discourage you from using it often, the Taycan is officially rated for ten 0-62MPH and four 0-124MPH runs in a row before you notice any decrease in performance. Unofficially, it can do more — FC‘s Jonny Smith tried it for […]
Apple (gently) taps ASMR fans with its latest iPhone ads
[ad_1] This is billed as “Season 1,” so you can expect more ASMR going forward. Don’t be surprised if there’s a haircut or massage video in the pipeline, then. Of course, these are ultimately iPhone ads. Apple is showing that you can produce these kinds of videos using the device in your pocket, even if […]
The Ferrari 812 Superfast is exactly what it sounds like
[ad_1] The Ferrari 812 Superfast is a production car, but really, it’s a race car. A V12-powered beast that carves up roads without breaking a sweat. It’s the pinnacle of the supercar genre. It’s fast, expensive and when you look at it, you want one in your home — even if it’s just as a […]
Faster algorithm could lead to more realistic sounds in VR
[ad_1] The solution ultimately involved ditching the traditional approach to calculating sound propagation, which has its roots in the theories of pioneering scientist Hermann von Helmholtz. Instead, the scientists took their cue from composer Heinrich Klein’s ability to blend many piano notes into a single sound. It splits vibration modes into individual chords, then performs […]
‘The Matrix’ returns to theaters August 30th with Dolby Vision and Atmos
[ad_1] Tickets are available now through AMC (linked above). This is a not-so-subtle plug for Dolby’s technology, and Warner Bros. certainly won’t object to wringing more money out of a 20-year-old movie. All the same, we wouldn’t object too loudly. This is your chance to relive the experience of watching the movie in 1999, when […]
