Ok so I had the CH700N's. I also then had some AirPod Pros for a year. I recently upgraded to the Sennheiser Momentum 4 over-ear and the Sony WF-1000XM5's, but I also bought and returned the WF-XM4s, Bose QCII in-ear, and the Sennheiser Momentum TW3.

Every single pair of in-ear wireless earbuds I've tried that aren't AirPods Pro suck. I am still using the XM5s but their multipoint sucks so I had to disable it, and they drop out for a split second every 10 or so mins. The XM4s were similar but incredibly painful to wear. The QCII were similar to the XM5s. The Sennheiser TW3 connection quality was dog shit - putting a few fingers around an earbud would break their connection with each other.

As for over-ears, my Sennheiser Momentum 4s are pretty good - they sound great, feel pretty comfortable, last for ages, and do not suffer any connectivity issues in my experience.

But to be honest, I've reached the point where if phones still just had bloody headphones jacks I'd use wired over-ears. I'd probably still use AirPods Pro for portability once I move back to iOS though, but I could also see myself going wired there too to avoid the whole wireless hassle and cost.

So my conclusion is over-ear for every possible reason except absolute portability.

I also would recommend against the Sony WH-1000XM5 over-ear because they feel so cheaply made it's a joke.

Pros: Moderation quality, app ecosystem, no corporations or ads.

Cons: Small community, wayyy too much duplication of 'subreddits' on Lemmy across different servers (inherently not an issue on Mastodon).

You don't get advertising or algorithmic crap on Mastodon, and they have reasonably reliable filters to hide most porn I think

I have a 7 Pro and the fingerprint sensor sucks. It constantly doesn't recognize, and is slow when it does.

Transmission is awesome because it's simple. It only does what you need and has the best UI for doing so.

Ah thanks

Takhisis right?

Yeah unfortunately I agree. I think Yong seems like a cool guy but his videos always start with a lengthy recap which anyone who watches his channel already knows from his previous video on whatever is recapped, and then he takes the longest possible route to explain the topic too.

I reckon if he made 5 min videos without all the fluff he'd be great.

As an owner of the Pixel 7 Pro, I'd say the S23 Ultra. Better in every possible way except duplicate Google/Samsung apps, mostly-subjective camera differences, and subjective UI skin.

1. Optimisation. Many, many games haven't even had a proper baseline of optimisation let alone targeted optimisation for specific specs like consoles
2. The PS5 GPU is more powerful than a 2060, and as a newer generation architecture supports more features which can be leveraged to improve performance
3. The PS5 operating system is wayyy less taxing than Windows or any other OS because it does much less and does it more optimized

I mean, isn't the point of OpenCritic to get as wide an opinion base as possible? Of course you'll have a bunch of weird ones in there, but you hypothetically get the best overall view of a game.

Open Critic doesn't tell you anything, it just aggregates everyone's scores. If you don't like the scores then blame the critics.

I would argue given it is still animal tissue - not cellulose etc - it remains not vegetarian because it is not in any way made of plants. It is, however, not made via animals in any way and thus most people who currently consider themselves vegetarians would probably eat it as most vegetarians are so on moral grounds.

I agree to an extent, however the reason behind Google cancelling his ads is almost certainly not because Google doesn't want to monetize as much content as humanly possible, but because they expect or know that their advertisers don't want their ads next to an alleged (and possibly convicted in the future) rapist / sexual predator.

You don't care about the many other ways that not using and supporting Chromium is better, ie. not having Google's new invasive advertising system?

What is and isn't worth preserving is not something that can be known at the time of preserving. The point of preservation is so things can be accessed later if and when they're needed. Even shitty games like Avengers may be relevant in many ways in the future, even if just to reference as 'a shitty game'.

The reason why Unity refuses to not make it retro-active is because they want money from Genshin Impact etc which already launched. If they don't make it retroactive then the whole point of the change on their end is gone.
