Thanks for the info, I’ll pick these up next time I have to replace the pods I have!

I wish. 3.5mm jacks have been murdered by phone OEMs and I’m actually angry about it, and I’m not into extra wear and tear on my only charge port. They either need to put back the 3.5mm or give me two USB-C ports.

Ooh thank you these could also work!

Dude I might actually grab a pair of these for my next, thank you so much! JBL is good enough for me, not the best but their speakers run well and sound alright, and that’s perfect!

In that case I’ll be fine, but tbh I’d like better ones anyway were they to exist.

For now.

If only I could find them lol. I you have any specific brands to look for I desperately need them, afaik bose, sennheiser, grado, beats, those podcast ones, all do the inside the hole thing. Bose has some weird clip ones but I can’t justify spending $200 on them to see if they’ll work for me when they very well may not.

Fuck.

Anyone know of any good headphones that have the airpod in-ear shape? (Like these)

Hate the Skullcandy style with the shitty rubber nubs, those hurt my ears. (Like these)

But that’s all anyone makes now other than airpods non-pro and cheap shitty airpod knockoffs (but I still want halfway decent headphones.)

No it isn’t “just the wrong size” don’t bother with that, I just have way too tight ear pussies and I need it to rest outside the hole like the first pic.

Guys, learn to pirate. If you stick to media and familiarize yourself with filetypes (also enable file extensions, windows users. Chaps my ass that they’re hidden by default) then you’ll be fine. Nicotine+ for music, qbittorrent+jackett for movies/tv, or the *arr stack if you’re fancy, or Usenet if you’re paying for it.

Edit: Also use a VPN. I know “but that’s a thing to pay for,” my dude you should be using one anyway. I recommend Mullvad, maybe Proton.

And also “Good. If they’re found they’ll be patched. Worry about the ones that ‘aren’t’ ‘found.’”

Haha gotta laugh at it imo, lest I go insane!

Ahh I get it, knead, it’s a stress ball, or cube as it were. I mean tbh looks like a fine stress ball but sounds like it’s having the opposite effect so far lol.

Hell those people use an iPhone and nothing else lmao.

What the ever living fuck is a Nee-dough lmao.

Yeah but what I think you’re missing here is that “that’s stupid.” We can still call those people stupid for being stupid, when they complain about stupid things. As we’re all doing currently. The difference is he thinks users should care about important things instead, you’ve given up on that, and I still don’t actually give a shit either way.

(Tbf also I do agree with him users should often get gud, and I say this as a user, I’m only a “dev” if writing personal bash scripts using copied stack overflow for loops I don’t fully understand counts. I do also agree with you in that they’re probably not likely to get gud, but I still think it would be good if they did.)

I mean I get where he’s coming from, it shouldn’t, just use the damn program and don’t focus so hard on the name which in all honesty does not matter where functionality does.

But also people complain on this one because A) Sex is icky and everyone is a Puritan and B) it has been used as a slur in the past I guess. It’s almost like naming an RNG tool “Free Auto Generator” or something.

Personally idgaf.

Though one would expect such technically inclined users to install the OS themselves. When I bought my 16 I bought “no OS” because while Fedora (which I knew would be installed) was an option I wanted FDE and so I chose to install it myself. It’s possible many of these were first time linux users who wanted the savings but also the ease of buying with a pre-installed OS.

I’m with you on this one (and that is exactly what I did lol).

I want to divorce everything I can from my phone (might get a DAP too), I can’t run GrapheneOS on that and phone security is more important to me than phone camera, my camera can be connected to Wifi and bluetooth but more importantly can not be if I want (while by nature the phone needs at least CDMA to “phone,” and it’s more realistic to never enable wireless on a Fujifilm than on a phone). Also fwiw there’s something that just feels different about shooting on a mirrorless/DSLR than a phone, I don’t think I can physically describe it though.

I will say this camera is probably fantastic and seems to have interchangeable lenses, but for my use case I’d still have to have my phone-phone and then my camera-phone so it’d still be two devices. I could see why it would be a preferred choice for some people though. Also if I’m carrying the phone+lenses, I’d still have to have a camera bag, and my camera fits in my camera bag already. Sure I’d be able to fit more in there too but idk it’s not like I could be sans bags.

Tbh even if they figure it out (and they should, not everyone is me) I probably won’t use it often, I like the extra layer of security having to type my LUKS pass to unlock the FDE then my User pass, just in case. Plus as you noted it starts plenty fast already at under 30sec, it’s not a 5min boot like windows on my old laptop.

I mean, even that isn’t going to work, there’ll be ways around it. “Old” printers, 3rd party firmware, jailbroken printers, etc. Life uh, finds a way.

In this case there is no other dentist. The closest you can get is a thinkpad, and they’re still not quite as repairable as a framework from what I hear, and I’m not sure they don’t donate to Trump himself for all I know, searching for lenovo controversies gave me this at a first glance

Lenovo has faced multiple controversies, primarily related to security issues, including pre-installed malware and backdoors in their devices, which have raised concerns about user privacy and data security. Additionally, the company has been criticized for its ties to China and alleged espionage risks, leading to bans from certain government networks in various countries.

So no racists maybe (guess we gotta ask them about Uyghurs and other non-Han Chinese people, but) possible security risks, pick your poison I guess.
