  Please don’t. It’s ancient.

  Don’t toss your articles at me; I may not have phrased my comment the way you wanted me to (due to ADHD), but I know what I’m about, son.

  If your pinna is being bypassed, you can’t get proper 3D audio without faking it in software. Plain and simple. That’s the point I’m making. Nothing more.

  Joke’s on them; I already upgraded to Windows 11. I was among the first. It’s actually a solid OS once you disable all the ads and telemetry with O&O Shut Up 10.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HELP HIM.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately this is rather tame compared to the fucked up shit we put ratties through in the name of science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My earphones' cable has been oozing sticky goo for over a yer now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Hot take: They’re IEMs, so they’re garbage nonetheless. For a proper soundstage, over ear open- or semi-open-backs are the only way to go.

  That said, I understand the need for a smaller headphone if you just need something playing in your ears during exercise or at work, which is perfectly fine so long as you’re not making them your primary pair of headphones.

  Same. Keeps things simple with Linux and, Windows doesn’t even complain about it being disabled, so long as it’s present. I’ll never understand this requirement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes on a diet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. If you’re still hungry after eating, then you’re starving yourself.

  The point is to eat until you’re satisfied, not until you’re completely full. If you have a difficult time determining when that point is, count calories for a week or two until you figure it out. I consume an average of 2300 calories a day. That’s a lot of food—about two large meals a day (or one large meal + constant snacking throughout the day)—but I’m still losing about half a kilogram (1.1lb) per week on average. All because I’m burning more than I eat. And I barely even work out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon crunches some numbers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As a 4090 owner, I can confidently say that we don’t have photorealistic graphics yet.

  But I get your point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why starving kids need special food | Adam Ragusea [21:52]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably to keep the algorithm happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries running live USB Linux on his dad's computer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ran into this issue literally yesterday. The wife went back to iOS after giving Android a try for four years (I don’t get why, but I try not to judge).

  Anyway, she couldn’t remember her Apple ID and had to pull out the phone she hasn’t used in years to recover her account. Thankfully she was smart enough to charge the battery to 50% every few months. Otherwise it would have gone bad and she would have been fucked; literally would have had to pay a tech hundreds to replace a battery for a phone she no longer uses, just to reset a simple password.

  I understand and appreciate the need for good security, but this is beyond ridiculous.

  Why are you using Facebook?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought that’s what I said but yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT dissidents, the students who refuse to use AI: ‘I couldn’t remember the last time I had written something by myself’⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it to Google things because modern search engines are garbage compared to how they used to be a decade and a half ago. The AI use (Perplexity) cites its sources, so I can verify what is fact and what is made up slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way two of the usb's are one way while the other is another way⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This actually seems helpful. You can tell which one is the USB3 port without looking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t even need to read the story: the answer is yes. Obviously. He’s a man.

  For men, they often can’t love a woman unless they have sex with them first. For women, they often can’t have sex with a man unless they love them first. There are exceptions to every rule, but in my experience, this is more often than not the truth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT dissidents, the students who refuse to use AI: ‘I couldn’t remember the last time I had written something by myself’⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably. I’m 38 and use it daily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When one earbud decides to not charge and I need to remove it from the case and put it back. And I even sometimes don't realize that...⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Their reply to me and deleted comment says otherwise.

  But Buds are a Samsung brand…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you like math⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s mainly limited to the American South.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t need to start a payment processing company. All they gotta do is start accepting crypto again.

  I mean come on, the solution is so obvious. This is what cryptocurency was designed for. But Lemmy refuses to see it. You’ll just downvote me and call it a scam like you always do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wtf is ur problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuckin’*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit like this is why people need to knock it off with the “iT’s A sCaM” bullshit and embrace crypto. This is the exact kind of issue that using cryptocurrency prevents.

  We need to federate money and put it back in the hands of the people. You would think that Lemmy would be into that idea, but instead y’all act like crypto killed your dog and fucked your wife. You don’t need to waste a ton of electricity for it to work, either. Proof of stake is a thing.

  Still blows my mind that people confuse they’re, their, and there (along with your and you’re).

  I have a learning disability, yet I figured this out 20 years ago; why hasn’t anyone else? I just don’t get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh no⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup I have 1400 down / 40 up with my Fixed 5G home connection. It’s so disproportionate but still way faster than cable with no arbitrary data cap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh no⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Uploading wouldn’t cause a noticeable slowdown for most internet uses, unless OP was also trying to upload something as well. Most ISPs offer a fraction of the upload speed as download and your average person still doesn’t even notice a slowdown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product..⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. They just hand you the powder in a pouch and say “that’ll be $16.42, please”.
