I still have a 5 year old Jabra Elite Active 65t that is still trucking. I had a few glitches starting a year ago like the right earbud dropping in volume or it being stuck in a hung mode where they had to be completely depleted over a few weeks to reset them, they wouldn't even charge.

However, they still work fine and are super convenient with hear-through for office work compared to wired IEMs way better for all fitness activities too, just not as good for really listening to music.

Battery life is still 3-4 hours after 5 years not including the case recharge (the case battery has degraded significantly more than the earbuds themselves, probably due to the high quality VARTA cells in the earbuds)

I am going to wear them into the ground, but jabra is doing a stock sellout before their new version of buds come out, so I bought the €140 Jabra Elite 4s for €60 for when these bite the dust, but they seem to be going strong still.

I mean, the abrahamic religions seem to all try to create fascist states. Look at Israel as well as a few middle eastern fascist movements.

Then again, China has also satisfied a lot of the qualifications of fascism in the past century and they are mostly athiest IIRC.

You seem to be under the impression that Roku and Chromecast don't do the exact same things.

There is no good solution because connecting a Pi or something is not as good as modern TVs without an AV1 decoder and it also doesn't have a good remote interface as far as I know.

Lol an IKEA kitchen now a bit bigger than that is 10k€ without placement and composite counters and no floor. Prices have over doubled in the past 5 years. + floor and actual stone countertop is easily 15k

We are renovating our entire house and doing everything except pouring concrete slabs and our tile roof ourselves and the kitchen this big + and island is 15k€ at good value places, slightly better places are 25k+ with placement.

5k is an absolute pipe dream. Wholesale materials alone without appliances would be around 9k (assuming decent quality cupboards and real stone)

Oh yeah they have been here in DelHaize and Albert Hein (both owned by the dutch company) for a while and are now popping up in Colruyt and spar I think.

True, but to be a little fair to them, the republicans have the power and use it to completely block all objectively good attempts at progress at all. Nothing good can happen in america without a supermajority or a complete change of the system.

Lol look at statistics of smokers. Waaay more than 0.01% of people in any given country and 90% of smokers throw cigarette butts on the ground. That is just that one example.

If you have ever traveled to the southern US, oof.

People can't learn not to throw trash in the street, climate change that is backed by decades of science is a problem, or hell, they can't even learn to effectively not click on super suspicious phishing links.

How on earth are they going to learn about implementing encrypted DNS when most barely know the difference between a browser and a computer.

Maybe soon sodium ion!

Higher cycle counts, reduced capacity, but also not dangerous.

Sorry, but inflation is a not great reasoning.

Wages in a lot of the world (especially the US) have been completely left behind by inflation, so many people are paid very similarly to how they were paid in the 2000s. That is the entire driver behind the insane wealth inequality gap.

Video games are a luxury good, so if you up the price (especially for shitty cranked out AAA games with little replay value and dubious quality) then they will see profits actually fall because so many people will see those games as not worth it. Not to mention that orders of magnitude more people are just struggling to pay rent now with skyrocketing housing prices (corporations switching to housing for investments and buying up all property) and worsening working conditions.

The reason companies are switching to subscriptions and micro transactions en masse is because they just work, take minimal effort, and make massive profits. They are literally exploiting flaws in the human psyche.

According to blizzard, 1 single horse skin microtransaction in world of warcraft made more money than all of the sales from the entire game of StarCraft 2: wings of liberty.

Plus, let's say all of this was successful in switching the content of games to less exploitative means of earning profits. Do you think developers will be treated better? Do you think shareholders will forgo their worship of yearly increasing profits and treat employers fairly? More likely they would just increase the price and double dip by micro transactions, loot boxes, and battle passes for those precious profits.

I would love to go back to the better times of games also, but corporate greed prevents it at every turn.

Difference with laptops and desktops.

Work laptops I almost never turn off. Hibernation is better because being able to save 10 minutes getting everything set back up is valuable.

Desktop gets turned off when I plan to not use it for a while.

Server is always on except for updates.

725 million actually. I think it is almost double the next expensive game.

They are trying to do something on a never-before scale, but the company seems to have been run like complete shit.

They better get great overtime pay or be able to take like 2 weeks extra paid holiday after this bullshit, but I would guess not.

If you think about it though, it is actually easier to find replacement parts for 70s-90s systems because there is now a small industry around it as well as collectors and there was a differrnt culture around it.

Replacing things from 2000s-2010s systems is the bigger issues. They were all taken over by giant corpos with all repair parts, manuals, and software restricted and hidden in the name of "profit" and "protecting corporate IP" and now it is not profitable enough for them to spend resources keeping stock of old parts or driver installers, so into the trash they go, never to be able to be seen again, and reproducing them also is note challenging with increasing system complexity.

Belgian so Sunday fries lol.

Otherwise normally recipes from Soph's plant kitchen. Lentils and chickpeas are amazing.

It is common knowledge.

Bots can scrape PDFs.

I had about 50 applications of proof where bots scraped the information from my PDF and auto-filled it into the next forms which are again simply re-typing in all of the information from your resume again (which most medium or large companies use anyway which makes the entire point moot). They can scrape PDFs unless you hand-write your resume with bad handwriting so the OCR can't pick it up.

Unless they got their ATS system from aliexpress, it can scrape PDFs.

Literally every single browser can open a PDF.

Is she admitting that their organization only uses discontinued, insecure Internet Explorer to use the internet? Is she also opening word files in Microsoft word 2005?

Survivorship bias doesn't really work when there are no survivors lol

I just realized i haven't downloaded an image on my phone for over a year
