Mm & also how about respecting the electronics and (maybe a little bit obsessive-compulsively) wrapping the entire cord up and zipping it into a case… every single time
(Skill or rather personal policy issue, ya, that one might be on me)
But don’t even have to put my head against the phone for a quick call when a single earbud is right in my pocket ready to be slipped out and stuck back in, blind ‘n’ fast
Might plug into the car to get higher quality audio. Will use a cable with a mic at home, but even then I might use AirPods for listening and only use the cable to speak into.
It stands to reason there can’t be that many audiophiles who could tell the difference between Bluetooth and aux while listening to their little Spotify playlists, but oh boy-
So many more people can tell when you’re speaking over spanking-new $200 AirPods versus the old dinky pair of stock EarPods from the bottom of the junk drawer. Cable reins supreme, no competition. (and with the best dictation software, simply whispering into the hardwired mic is sufficient for ~95(+)% accuracy)
Yes indeed, Apple’s had acceptable latency (e.g. for YouTube) since no later than 2017.
I’ve only thought about it when specifically wondering how they pulled it off (and I assumed the phone did something slightly fancy to add a delay on the visual side)
Actually badass though, force yourself to spend hours over a period to find indestructible stuff, then enjoy freedom from hours of stupidlabor weekly forever
Almost everyone I know who spends real time in the kitchen would agree with you though 🙂
& Am*zon a lot less 😉 ahahaha, C3’s such a good history tool. After using it one may consider heading on over to eBay to have a chance at concentrating less power in that other company. (Recommend paying with credit card, reformatting machine, double checking all specs)
You can find some threads on intermittent Wi-Fi issues where people create a little shortcut to toggle Wi-Fi or toggle Bluetooth or something, so I think the hardware is imperfect, but it is really ridiculous:
Full screen eight 4K YouTube videos and swipe across all the spaces in a blink or two. Run local language models (e.g. Gemma on LM Studio) in the privacy of your own lap. Render some meme videos or clips of the kids in seconds.
You still wait for stuff. The computer has to turn on. The web browser has to load. You’re buying a ton of power that comes in when billions of parameters are involved but for some simple day-to-day stuff you’re going to experience it on the snappy side of regular speeds.
So overall, that pricing graph is great, isn’t it? What a steal. So nice of them to pay for that depreciation while hopefully not put too much stress on the machine. Hope there’s a nice private seller with a similar rate somewhere.
PS: battery life? It’s got a battery! 😉 idk, 6hr if you’re not optimizing too hard or going to hard in the other direction… can’t be quoted on that figure but it’s not a lightweight use all day in the woods machine, it’s a desktop experience anywhere (esp. where you have a power outlet)
Not even in an interesting or corrupt way. "Our engineers think it would be better to do it this way, any objections?" And then everyone talks about it.
And this was the mental roadblock I hit trying to imagine a world without lobbyists.
As if we could ignore every voice with some connection to a profit motive (ignoring thousands of experts), etc
Was there ever any merit to that claim that you could post elaborate plots on some subr*dt and make it harder for movie studios to make those exact films?
