Gadget with no on-device on/off switch. Must use remote control to turn on/off
In this podcast Jon Westfall and I discuss:
- Netflix just announced a huge audio upgrade — and you can try it now
In addition to Apple’s spatial audio
Thanks to some help from Sennheiser, Netflix is enabling standard two-channel speaker systems — like, say, your basic soundbar, headphones or even your TV’s built-in speakers — to produce spatial audio sound without the need for a surround system. Spatial audio adds extra immersion by creating a 3D sound space, making noises sound like they’re coming from above you as well as on the left and right.

If you use the web UI, it assumes you are dumber than if you use an app???
Tangential: I bought a “swamp cooler” (evaporative) that doesn’t have an on/off switch on the device itself. On/off is only on its (easy to lose/break) remote control
