    atmos and even dts x content are very findable and vlc has the codec information in the tool menu

    have a 5.1.4 system hooked up by hdmi to the igpu and the video to the gpu and it sounds just like the theater but be sure to check what is available for the content you are searching because it might not exist

    for example Harry Potter just got rereleased on dts x and the news was on the official dts site but also check blu-ray.com to see what formats exists

    the green for atmos comes on and the amber for dts does too as well as the white for dolby digital but again vlc confirms this too in the codec information and atmos for home theater will do for dolby digital too

    be prepared for enormous file sizes but so worth it and you will have to use the atmos for home theater or the dts x for home theater under the windows spatial sound settings per the content and yes switch back and forth

    the shortages and disruptions have been happening and Trump is not the end all be all of all things just another puppet that was voted in selected by the elites

    been an issue worse since covid and not just because of tariffs or what presidential puppet sits in the white house

    no preparing for something when we have nothing to start preparing with in the first place

    at least in the United States you have lots of people at the bottom, some in the upper middle, and very few elites that control it all

    don’t have the exact numbers but in the United States we have lowered by a percent or so or more the allowable heavy metals and such because of polluted soil not naturally occurring ones and how it is impossible with current technology to remove such impurities

    the cannabis industry in the US has stricter rules and allows fewer heavy metals than is allowed in the food we consume with more stringent testing being required by third party labs

    lot of spices just like tobacco for example are grown in India where industry are able to pollute the soils more with less government oversight leading to fake vanilla extract which is done with green chemistry to be a cleaner product as is synthetic nicotine (this does not include Metatine which is not a synthetic but more a nicotine alternative replacement and is not safe or healthier)

    heavy metals and pollutants in food is very much a ginormous issue with nothing being done except lowering the standards to match our current predicament just like we solve our other problems

    agree about the natural levels in soil but that is not an issue as you stated but the concern is the high percentage that is allowed and is in there because of human activities

    gotta keep lowering the bar so we stay ahead of the issues

    (am in the industry too)

    We are a science superpower? Fuck out of here with this horseshit

    Takes more than cool toys to be a science superpower

    The citizens have to have an education system that is funded and people have to have less work for slave wages

    Just because the elites have futuristic technology and not the citizens does not make it a science superpower

    Just makes it a dystopian future like in Mickey 17
