Agreed 100%.

Before I got my noise cancelling headphones, I was very aware of the volume that I have set when trying to watch a movie in a plane. After I got the noise cancelling headphones, I no longer have to set it that loud anymore.

That said, some airlines need to relook their volumes of their PA system. Some of them are shockingly louder than necessary. Lol

Drivers for the Tobii eye tracker do not officially exist.

The monitor with this "unresponsive button" issue is the Acer monitor, which is about 2 years old.

Very interesting. The Asus monitor is probably only 2 years old. It does work fine standalone with a spare laptop of mine that is running Windows 10 though.

Best guess is that companies are probably paying the TV manufacturers to have their app preinstalled and appearing in front of the line.

Bed bugs.

Positive outcome would be no more having to burn contaminted possessions (or wash them in very hot water many times).

Sony minidisc says hi :p

I remember a time when i was hoping they'll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL

Millennial because they grew up only knowing MP3s and digital media and didn't get to experience disc based media. :p

Found the millenial :p /jk

It's essentially a player which ignores the region locks on bluray discs.

Like how after every Windows update all my settings get reset 🤣

Bought a cheap AU$40 pair of generic hiking poles. Use it for the entire Camino de Santiago. Friend borrowed for her Camino walk as well. I later used it for the first half of the Coast to Coasthike in UK. Earlier this year i used it for my Kumano Kodo hike. Still going strong.

What i do when sharing from an app would be to use a url cleaner app first and then share the cleaned link.

Not what you're looking for but the Asus Zenfone 10 still has a headphone jack. I don't think you'll find a privacy oriented custom ROM for it though.

Yup. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect

I use Connect for lemmy. Doesn't ask for any permissions.

Using a Zenfone 8. I like that they are keeping the 3.5mm plug. I don't use it very often but it is nice to know i have a backup. I still have the bundled earbuds from old phones in my bag as spare.

Having upgraded from a Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact, I would have preferred another phone with the same physical dimensions but we all know that's not possible. It is a nice screen, no doubt about it but I prefer pocketability and useability over a nice screen.

I was initially a bit apprehensive after reading all the reports about the ramdump issue but it seems to have been blown out of proportion?

That sounds like me. LOL
