Netflix fan explains how to fix audio on shows
A Netflix fan has shared a couple of genius hacks to improve your viewing experience immeasurably. The tech whizz, who goes by the TikTok username Matty McTech, noted that many of us resort to subtitles when watching our favourite shows because of frustratingly shoddy sound quality. However, McTech suggested that the issue isn’t the fault of the programmes themselves, but simply an easily-resolved speaker issue. Addressing his 4.8 million followers, the self-styled “PC enthusiast” said: “Have you ever been watching Netflix and you’re struggling to hear quiet voices over the background music and sound effects?” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Well, he continued: “It might be because Netflix thinks you have surround sound.” Displaying his screen, he directed the audience to an “other” button in the bottom right-hand corner, which brought up an audio drop-down menu. “You can see the default audio is 'English 5.1',” he pointed out. “That means that Netflix thinks you have five speakers and one subwoofer (another type of loudspeaker). “If you don’t,” he continued: “You want to select 'English Original'.” He then clicked on the option, which instantly changed the sound dynamics on the episode of ‘You’ he was watching. “Now the background music is a little quieter and I can hear him talk,” he said. @setupspawn Thos will improve your Netflix Watching Experience! #netflix #tipsandtricks #netflixseries He then offered another handy tip – directing viewers to a website called Netflix-codes.com. Here, “You can find a bunch of secret Netflix category codes that they don’t tell you about,” he revealed. Explaining how it works, he said: “Let’s say for instance I want to watch some anime horror shows, all I have to do is take this code – 10695 – then I can go to the Netflix search and type in the code. “Easy.” McTech’s advice clearly struck a chord with streaming lovers, as his video racked up a whopping 12.6 million views in just over a week. However, his hacks weren’t the only things to draw the audience’s attention. Scores of commentators swiftly fixated on his pronunciation of “anime” and on an open tab in his web browser. “Sir, what the hell is ‘A nai me’?” one asked. “The way I FLEW to the comments for how he pronounced anime,” wrote another. “Did anyone [...] catch the second tab he had pulled up… or are we looking past that? Lol” asked a third. If you pause the clip when he’s going through his Netflix-codes.com cheat, you’ll see that the tab next to the website reads: “Best place to hide a body.” Obviously, no one actually believed McTech had inadvertently revealed himself to be a murderer. Instead, they praised him for nailing social media. “Between the pronunciation of anime, the second tab, and the helpful info: you sir, have mastered TikTok,” one admirer wrote. “Well played.” Have your say in our news democracy.

Large asteroid flies close to Earth – and is only spotted days later
Earth narrowly avoided an asteroid that flew past last week – and scientists did not spot the object until it had made its visit. The object, named 2023 NT1, was spotted on 15 July by the Atlas observatory in South Africa. Astronomers there say it was up to 60 metres in size. But at that point it had already made the dangerous bit of its journey: two days earlier, it had swept past Earth, at just a quarter of a distance between us and the Moon. At 60,000 miles away, that is a long way from doing any damage, but relatively close for an asteroid. As such, the asteroid didn’t pose any danger to Earth. But it was an important reminder that truly dangerous asteroids could fly towards Earth – and that we might not spot them until they are too late. That is because many asteroids, including 2023 NT1, fly towards us from the Sun. The bright light of our star can make it difficult to see anything else, especially asteroids that are relatively small at the scale of space. The European Space Agency estimates there could be a million asteroids in the same size range of 30 to 100 metres near Earth. And 98.9 per cent of them are still undiscovered, the space agency says. It has said that shows that there needs to be an improvement in the capabilities of humanity to detect such asteroids. Some are already being worked on, such as ESA’s NEOMIR, which will orbit between the Sun and the Earth and is designed to work as an early warning system for asteroids that would otherwise avoid detection, but will not launch until 2030. The asteroid 2023 NT1, at 60 metres across, is among the largest to have come so close to Earth in recent times. At that size, it could have done significant damage: the Chelyabinsk meteoroid that injured 1,500 people and damaged buildings when it fell to Earth in 2013 was only 20 metres across, for instance. From its approach last week, scientists have been able to catalogue and predict the asteroid’s movements. That should make it possible to track and spot it next time it comes close to Earth.
