  • Maybe you happened to have low latency phones, but in my experience the low latency is explicitly marketed somewhere in the product description or on the packaging. I believe there are also different low latency technologies. For example, the 1Mii dongle and both of my wireless headphones use aptX technology.

    To be clear, you’re saying you’ve watched videos and/or played video games with all your old headphones and never noticed any latency?

  • You didn’t mention if you’ll be watching movies or playing videos games; if so, then you’ll wanna look for some headphones with “low latency mode” because regular bluetooth headphones will introduce about a quarter-of-a-second lag—hardly an issue if you’re just listening to music, but very noticeable when you’re watching videos or playing games.

    Two low latency headphones that have worked well for me are the E600 Pro by Ankbit and the NC35 by Srhythm, both of which are in your price range (under $100 on Amazon).

    EDIT 1: Both of these headphones pair with the low latency USB dongle from 1Mii, which is sold separately for around $30.

    EDIT 2: Here’s a video to test the latency of your current set of headphones. I found it easiest to test by holding a piece of paper up to my screen so I could tell if the moving white bar was visible or not by the time I heard the beep. Another way that I tested was to record while holding my headphones up to my separate wired USB microphone, and then opening up the audio tracks from the latency test video itself and my recording in Audacity, at which point the latency is very visible.

    Worth noting that technically, pretty much every pair of headphones will have “some” latency, but where it starts becoming a problem is anything more than 50 to 100 milliseconds, which is very noticeable when you’re playing a game and the sounds are not in sync with your in-game actions—likewise when you’re watching a video with spoken words where the words are not in sync with the subject’s lips.

    If you’re just casually listening to music, there’s no issue, but anything that involves video and audio together will be very noticeable.

  • Yes—it’s why you should use a password manager to generate a unique password for each and every site you sign up for, and think long and hard before trusting any site (or any org for that matter) with your personal information.

    Haveibeenpwned.com is a website for checking which sites have leaked your data.

  • Did you read the article, though?

    • Repeat offender, check.
    • History of violence, check.
    • No remorse, in fact he actively wants to do it again as soon as he’s able, check.

    I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs, but unless and until a qualified medical professional personally guarantees he won’t regress, it would be downright irresponsible to allow this kid to continue doing what he does.

  • Perhaps for first offenses, in cases where the defendant seems remorseful, and/or they are unlikely to regress, sure. But in this case, the defendant checks none of these boxes. This kid sounds like the archetypical shit bag that plagues gaming communities far and wide. Goodbye and good riddance.

  • Axel Springer filed several suits in Germany against Eyeo on the grounds that the Adblock Plus extension interfered with their business…

    Umm yes, lady madam of the court, let the record show that I hereby counter-sue the advertising companies for interfering with my ability to use the internet!

  • Shocker. This whole situation is one big shit sandwich. On one hand, it’s like yeah maybe next time, think twice before you poke the bear. But then again even without the October 7th attacks, we have all these radical Israelis who believe it is their biblical duty to evict all Palestinians from greater Israel. Like wtf?

  • This helped me, thank you so much! I filtered by .mp3 and I'm using DownThemAll to download all the episodes in batches.

    ETA at first, all the downloads failed because I was attempting to download multiple files simultaneously. After configuring DownThemAll to allow only one simultaneous download, it's been smooth sailing.

  • Look into Perplexity. Not sure if it takes ebooks directly as an input, but depending on your sample size you may be able to copy and paste the text of each chapter into it and generate summaries that way.

    There’s also a YouTuber named Matt Wolfe who catalogs AI tools on his web site Futurepedia, try searching there.

  • Similar story—last year my mom wanted a new macbook for Christmas. I got her a refurbished Asus something or other for a fraction of the price, installed Linux Mint on it, and customized it with a Mac theme.

    I was transparent with her about the fact it’s not a Mac, and taught her to use things like Keepass and Firefox. It took some convincing and persistence, but in the end she stuck with it and I’m kinda proud of her tbh.

    Good on you for showing your rents there’s a viable alternative to Windows.
