Forced Consent & Consent Bypass

16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."
Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

My experience is that a mp6ii and mp10ii would drift. When manually aligned theyβd be off by a few hundred samples within hours, causing very audible phase issues.

mp10ii does not have wordclock i/o, so youβre definitely drifting. record for more than a few hours and itβll be obvious.

what mic are you using to record in 3rd order? or are you just up-upscaling? (Audio Brewers?)

I didn't think you could clock sync mixpre's? how are you doing that? (else you'd get phase issues from the inevitable digital drift)

Lewitt LCT mic mounted into Rycote shock mount for blimp
I found a way of mounting them in WS1 size blimps, using the old hoop design. not crazy big, but still a royal PITA!

I have a quad set in blimps. Huge hassle to lug around but the result is almost always worth it. Wonderfully quiet.

A pair of Austrian Audio OC818 large diafragm microphones suspended in a blumlein-like arrangement.
Trying to figure out how to mount a pair of OC818s in an old large (stereo) rycote for ambisonic / double ms field recording. Not going to be swinging around on a boom but need to be secure enough to not displace in transit.

Mid-life crisis going well. Not good (at my age) to run every day but final week push to meet end of year distance goal was worth the risk!#running #ultrarunner
