  • I've tried running NextCloud from a system with a SATA SSD and a Core i7 using WSL.....and it still ran like shit.

  • Well, Nextcloud runs like shit on a Pi WITHOUT having to do AI stuff, so.....

  • Somebody didn't play Cyberpunk on a console at launch....

  • ReVanced is definitely worth mentioning, but I'm here to tell you that GrayJay is better.

  • Do we really need to drag his memory by posting videos like this? "Rest In Peace", you say, while not letting him rest in peace.....

  • Yeah that's a fair summary. It's brands doing announcements and ads, and people being assholes. Why would I be interested in either?

  • Yeah their naming scheme is stupid

  • I'm sure they compare favorably to other earbuds. But their form factor means they're inevitably going to have inferior ANC to the flagship over-ear headphones from Bose and Sony. Those would be the QC-45 and WH-1000XM5 headphones at the moment.

    It's why you don't see them directly compared very often; they're in different leagues and there's really no contest.

  • Hard disagree. ANC of earbuds just isn't in the same league as a nice set of big over-ear cans. And earbuds that go inside your ear canal may or may not fit well depending on how your ear canal is shaped. Also, my big headphones are VERY repairable, unlike little earbuds. I bought these things used and have replaced a faulty power board and the battery in them that eventually went bad, all with a screwdriver. No soldering required.

    I'm sure the LinkBuds are nice, but I want to push back hard on the idea that earbuds are inherently better. There are pros and cons.

  • Lol wtf is this AI generated bullshit commentary.

    Also this is clearly a bot account. It posts a shitload of videos, then a shitload of very short comments, then a shitload of videos. Report this crap.

  • Holy crap! Thanks for making this thread, I learned that GadgetBridge works with my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones. Confirmed that all the same settings from the Sony app are in there, and I can turn ANC on and off. I'd argue that you should probably install the official app sometimes (maybe once a year) to check for firmware updates, and then just uninstall it after updating. But this GadgetBridge app seems perfect to me.

  • Oh shit, they support Galaxy Buds Live. I love those little things, I might try this out.

    Edit: to be clear, ANC on these buds is terrible. So they're definitely not an answer to OP's question, but they're the most comfortable earbuds I've ever used.

    Edit 2: and they support my Sony headphones! Holy shit! OP, there's your answer, assuming they support the ANC button. My XM3 cans have noise cancelling just as good as Bose (I've tested).

  • Yeah, you don't need a Steam Link (device), you just need the Steam Link app installed on your HTPC. Or, you could fully install Steam, which has the Steam Link functionality built in. If you're on the same network, you get the option to "stream" games from another PC. That would let you locally run games that your HTPC is capable of running, and stream the ones that are too demanding.

    Minimum requirements for running Steam Link are quite low, so I bet your HTPC is capable.

  • Whether or not that "counts as infringement" is debatable, as stuff like this is pretty commonplace in the tech industry. See: Apple. If you want to spend the cash to lawyer up and take this issue to the Supreme Court, I support you.

  • To be clear, they're not requiring us to buy Xbox brand official controllers. They're requiring "authorized" controllers, which includes a lot of third-party brands. That's still kinda shitty, but I don't think it counts as tying.

  • Oh, and try using a different slicer. Cura, Prusa, Slic3r, whatever's popular nowadays.
