UK is now going to block all social media platforms for under 16s, and all adults will need to submit verification using facial recognition and/or their passport or ID.
I sincerely hope all these platforms just turn around and say "fine, we just won't provide access to UK customers."
At this point that seems like the only way that people will actually get loud enough to force a U-turn on this. After all the security breaches we have ALREADY seen with platforms like discord that have done this, it's actually terrifying that things like this are still going ahead.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

You shouldn't have confidence in AutoEQ or EQs to match targets in general. We tested headphone behavior in-situ after EQing to a target and found it to have meaningful problems for the individual actually wearing the headphone: youtu.be/JVW53wmo-04?si=zqCb…

The WANDLA GSE Gen 2 update is now available!
youtube.com/watch?v=wOHMghHf… This update brings some significant new improvements and enhancements:
- Overhauled UI and better accessibility
All GSE features are now accessible directly from the main screen by tapping the arrow in the bottom left. Long-press any button to go to the full configuration for that feature. In addition, there are now indicators on the main screen to show which GSE features are currently enabled or disabled. All the GSE features now have a reset button to restore them to factory default configurations.
- Spatial Enhancement Enhanced
Spatial Enhancement has been improved with a new "Transient Compensation" addition which provides an even more realistic and convincing result. For those that prefer the original Spatial Enhancement, you can continue to use it by turning T-Comp off, or you may find that you prefer one or the other with certain headphones or tracks!
- Tube Mode, now with 100% more tube!
Tube mode now offers the ability to select from various harmonic distortion profiles from popular real tube models. All based on real tube devices, and keeping the original 2nd-order-only option as well. You can also now adjust the strength of tube mode from 0-200%! (Note: Setting this extremely high such as 200% might not be the best plan with most stuff, that's a LOT of tube harmonics 📷, but hey, you can adjust things to your taste whether you want it subtle or a big change! I personally find myself sitting around 130% on most stuff.)
- Impact Profiles and Strength Adjustment
Impact now offers a number of profiles to select from to tune your bass response to your liking.
'Reference' - The original Impact profile
'Reference ' - Similar to the original Impact profile, but with slightly less midbass to provide a 'tighter' sound.
'Smooth' - Adds a more moderate amount of punch/impact compared to the Reference profiles, ideal for headphones that might already be very dynamic.
'Kick ' - Adds more punch and impact without adjusting subbass content much, ideal for headphones that have a good level of bass but need a but more impact!
'DD-Comp' and 'DD-Comp ' are tuned to compensate for the natural subbass rolloff of and linearises many dynamic driver headphones, though these work very well on many planars too!
'Sub-bass' is a more traditional shelf option that focuses on just elevating subbass content. Of course, all done with full 64 bit compute precision 👌
Thanks to everyone that helped beta test this, I'm really excited to have it out! This update is completely free for all Wandla GSE owners, just update your unit in the Ferrum Control app! For those that have an original Wandla, you can buy an upgrade to GSE here: ferrum.audio/product/wandla-…
Or if you're wanting a Wandla GSE for yourself grab one at Headphones.com! headphones.com/products/ferr…

There's a lot of people proving exactly why the film "I Swear" needed to be made right now.
If the answer to Tourrettes was "just don't do that" or "if you were pure of heart you wouldn't say bad things" don't people think that would have been figured out a while ago?

I actually have Tourrettes myself. Luckily it's nowhere near as bad as when I was younger, and my tics are primarily clenching my eyes and making noises in my throat (though they've changed over time.) So I've not had to deal with the immense difficulty of those suffering with Coprolalia.
But there are so many people reacting to the BAFTA incident not understanding that:
- He did not 'choose' to say that. There is no racism or malicious intent of any sort behind it.
- For many people the Coprolalia aspect of Tourrettes literally makes you say the thing that IS inappropriate at that time. Which is why it can be so difficult.
The way I describe the feeling of a tic is to tell someone "just try not to breathe or blink" and see how that goes. It is not a conscious decision. You may be aware a tic is 'building' and may be able to hold it for a short moment (though for some this isn't possible), but you can't just choose not to do it. Your body literally will not let you

I had a few people asking about the songs on my background wall, so I made a playlist for it!
This is a collection of tracks I've listened to a lot over the years. Some just because I liked them, some because they have a deeper meaning or memory for me (fun fact: the reason I got into playing drums in the first place was after Roger Taylor of Queen told me to in a pub in Cornwall when I was younger!).
