I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.

What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

    Really? I thought the loudness wars peaked around the mid 2000’s/2010’s. I feel like it’s become less prominent in the last few years

      I thought so as well, with how many people listen on streaming services that by default normalize audio levels there isn’t much benefit to making loud music anymore.

      Yeah, I notice differences in loudness based off what headphones I’m using. My over ear head phones make things sound louder than my ear buds do.

      But I always assumed that was intentional in design.
