It’s boring. It’s a boring bug. Like mouse acceleration.

Might want to mention what the bug is [0]:

> Noticing that the audio balance for your headphones is going slightly to the left or right? Balance Lock was designed to solve this by keeping the audio centred either in the middle or to a custom lock point. No more annoying left/right audio drift!

I've never personally noticed or heard of this bug, myself.

I didn’t even know this was a thing. Is there some weird condition you have to get into for this to occur?

Has anyone ever figured out the trigger conditions? I’ve heard about this for years but only from a handful of social media posters who must have some usage pattern in common.

Wait so it's a bug(!), I always thought something was wrong w/ my headphones.

The snark is that they are just a small dev shop and cannot afford the time nor the costs to go and debug that just yet.

There are so many bugs not fixed over years it really makes me angry. One stands out, which is the idleassetsd process downloading and deleting wallpaper files over and over. This not only depleted my data plan multiple times when abroad, but also writes hundreds of gigabytes on not-replaceable SSDs. Ah, and the process uses all remaining memory and incredible cpu resources. What the f… is this s…? It almost feels deliberate, regarding M1+ SSD life expectancy.
