      Max volume in my Subaru is 38. So any whole number divisor of that is fine with me.

          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.

            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.

      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.

    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.

      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)

      • Odds only

      Ending in a 4 is good actually because it invokes the pleasant feeling of writing a 4

    Hah. I have to have my volume set to multiples of 8 because I got so used to doing bit conversions and using systems where I octets are used. Even DooM and the old DooM editors used multiples of 8 for things like floor heights and texture sizes.
