If the odd number ends with a 5, it’s fine imo
Honorary even number.
Max volume in my Subaru is 38. So any whole number divisor of that is fine with me.
so only 1, 2, 19 and 38?
Integer multiples of prime factors?
I think 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, and 38.
So, the even numbers and also 19, lol
not sure how you arrived at that list or what your question means, was trying to point out that x is a divisor of y when y/x is an integer.
1 is also an allowed exception, IMO.
It is, but only at volume 1. Anything else ending in 1 is no good.
11 begs to differ.
I’ll allow it.
11 doesn’t get the honorary “even” designation, but its 10’s cooler cousin, so it can stay
I didn’t say ending at one, I meant specifically 1. As in minimum volume.
27 is also fine, because it’s 3^3. I’ll fight you on this.
And if you need to set it to the low 30s range, it better be 32.
And 42 is the answer if it’s in the low 40s.
Except 45, just go to 50 you coward.
Multiples of 5 are Bad
Is that a thing people get upset about? I’ve just been turning the volume up or down until it sounds right this whole time like a fool 😰
You should repent for the horrors you’ve subjected others to.
You sick bastard.
i 3d printed something to cover my car’s radio display. it only functions as an aux input to my phone anyway, literally the only thing it does is output audio and have a volume knob. there’s no need to have it lit up in my car interior destroying my night vision with its tacky fake VFD-style panel backlit with 2005-cool-tier blue LEDs.
…that was my rationale I came up with for why I made and installed it, which I would give other people who asked. in actuality, it’s because I can’t see the volume number anymore. what I don’t know won’t hurt me. I’m free.
Subscribed for more 3D printed car tricks.
Ever since I made an analog audio setup for my computers I have been really happy about not having to worry about volume number niceness
I’m like you except that now I’m going to always select an odd number to find who it triggers
Tricks on you, we’re an odd number only family!
Hmm. I’ll have to alternate between only odd and only even
Better yet, only do primes.
No don’t worry. You’re the normal one.
No no no, we’re not fools, its the people afraid of odd numbers who are the fools, lol the number 3 can’t hurt you, you bloody weirdos.
Yeah, why no love for odd numbers?? Got be at least like half of ’em
My car’s plate ends with a k, which is even by my reckoning (in base 36 (0 to z))
Yeah, give or take one
I’m going to argue that zero being even gives the evens an advantage.
TV volume must go up in factors of 5.
Multiples of 3. Multiples of 5 is too large a jump on most systems. Multiples of 3 gives satisfying sound and visuals.
5 or 2, nothing else
Best I can do is only 2.
7 for me, it’s lucky.
2.7

2πr^2
3s are just 5s but for heximal, which is the bestimal
Found my people
Sometimes you need to go to 11 though.
I feel like we are destined to be friends.
All volume scales should be 1-11. CMV.
The receiver attached to my TV let’s me do ½ volume numbers. It’s great to raise the volume to 45.5. 😈

That mattered a lot more when the tubes were metal foil
You don’t use a handpump?
That’s so brilliant it seems obvious in hindsight. This isn’t a thing where I live. I’ve now checked SimpleHuman’s product line since it seems like their kinda thing, and nope. Google is telling me it’s a UK and Australia thing? I need one now.
What if its prime?
I don’t use Amazon.
Optimus can do whatever he wants since he’s technically a machine.
1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19 are the only volumes.
I only do prime numbers; even, odds, multiples of fives… nope, those don’t sit right with me, only primes. It just makes sense to me and always has.
I’ll die on this hill…
My car works perfectly with multiples of 5, so I prefer that. But you guys wanna hear something really fucking sick? I played a game where the volume would increase with DECIMAL POINTS. And it was borderline impossible to get to a whole number. It was always 8.17 or something. The devs were clearly some kind sociopath. Anyway, I noticed in the last update they changed it to whole numbers, so apparently enough people explained that that sort of thing is just insanity.
Why is it insanity?
Yes, officer, this guy right here
If that doesn’t feel wrong in your brain, I can’t explain it.
I only set mine to prime numbers. Fite me.
Ah found my family. Usually i watch shows at 17 or 19, but the whispery ones need to go up to 29, or even 31
I’d allow 51 just because it’s divisible by 17 and I think that’s neat (but my TV only goes up to 50)
You should submit a bug report.
The comfortable volume levels on my tv are between 8 and 15, so I’m using every one of them.
I would like TVs to offer a custom scale. Where the minimum and maximum values are reasonable, but the numbers are proportionate.
Legally mandated support for:
- Odds only
- evens only
- primes only
- Gould’s sequence (too quiet? You’ll double the volume at some point)
- Bernoulli Numbers (too noisy outside, the TV will make it quiet)
My new TV maxes out at 120 and I hate it. What sort of scale is that?
Especially considering that anything in excess of about 12 is deafening.
My car uses an even more fucked scale. It tops out at 63, of all numbers.
It’s because the volume is stored in a 2^6
I was thinking maybe it has to do with 0-63 being 64 numbers which could be a small convenient bit storage. But that’s 6 fucking bits which as far as I know nothing really stores in values lower than a byte. Maybe there is some chip somewhere and 6 bits are used for volume and the other bits are getting used for other things. It’s still a very weird value to have
Even a fucking boolean is stored in a byte.
Right? A 6bit number makes so little sense. Where’d the other bits go, what did they do with them, why can’t we have a full byte??
My Corolla goes up one from 63 to “max” , which is a number I’ve never heard of.
Hyundai?
Mazda
120 has a lot of factors. It’s a good number for a lot of situations. But IDK why it would be desirable to be able to set the TV to one sixth of its max volume when sound doesn’t scale linearly anyway.
This is why the objectively right way to display volume is how most avr’s do it, in decibels.
120 is way better than 100
It’s a multiple of every number you can count on your hands except for 7 and 9
A direct improvement over 100, which misses out on 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 (half of them!)
the main reason why feet are 12 inches and great for carpentry math… divisible by 1,2,3,4, and 6
35 is for when the kid is in the truck.
45 is for my damaged hearing by myself.
60 is all the way up, bass boost off, most songs don’t distort the sub.
Ending on a 4 or 6 is as bad as ending on a 1 or 9.
Must end in an even number or 5, but cannot end in 4 or 6.
So 2, 5, 8, 0?
Ending in a 4 is good actually because it invokes the pleasant feeling of writing a 4
This is some autistic shit. I say this as an autist.
I now imagine ad-like comment.
This is very autistic.
