I’ve gone through many pairs of headphones too, I’ve worked from home for years and had a long-distance relationship in a time before smartphones (and before cheap wireless headphones) so Skype+headphones was the solution. Both driving over them with an office chair and accidentally pulling them were real dangers and caused real damage.
Now I just don’t use them anymore, since I have meetings on a company laptop, and the relationship is much closer.
It’s not the same care though. Wireless earbuds come with a box. For regular ones, I’d have to make a suitable box, and also carefully roll the cables every time.
The battery will fail to hold charge and they will become useless. Not the truth for wired headphones.
I don’t know how you use your headphones, but in my case I switched to wireless because every single pair of wired headphones I had would break. Usually the cable, earbuds because they were in my pocket, and the overhead ones I’d drive over with my office chair.
Switched to wireless a couple years ago, no issues since then.
NY real estate, which is struggling
Sorry, what did I miss? Isn’t NY real estate the place where a 200sqft apartment costs millions of dollars?
That’s still my favorite EU legislation. The price that is displayed must be equal (or higher, discounts are still allowed) to the price that you pay. Taxes, tips, fees, everything must be included in the price.
Yeah me too, I thought he was like Jim Crow, or Tom Cotton.
Not just cutting the cost, but charging you extra for selling you a separate charger.
A Windows version becomes considered “good” the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.
Also tankies claiming to be anti-imperialist when people want to leave your empire.
The Solidarity movement, started as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers’ rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It forced and won a public election in 1989, which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.
No, there was another one, interestingly at the exact same time, in Poland. They don’t like that one either.
Neverball seems far less known than the other ones, but it’s really good and has tons of levels.
Are there good UIs/tilesets for Nethack these days?
Definitely Neverball. My kids and I spent so many hours in it.
OpenTTD is good, so is TuxKart, but both have better closed-source alternatives. I don’t think Neverball does.
Just more proof that it was never about mRNA.
If we can’t solve every mathematical problem, there’s gonna be things in science that aren’t solvable either.
Not at all, math and science are very different things. Math is a fixed system of rules that we constructed. Within these rules, there are possible statements which cannot be proven or disproved using only those same rules.
Science is different, we don’t know the rules but we observe, measure, and make predictions. It’s not possible to “solve” physics but that’s because we can’t make infinitely accurate measurements, there’s nothing systemic to prevent us from making a complete theory.
People, not things. America didn’t have man-rated rockets between 2012 and 2020.
Except the time when Rogozin was in charge, at least.
Why would you do anything? It still works, so keep using it. Changing the OS just because you can sounds like a really bad idea to someone who’s been using the same thing for 11 years (and I’m a Linux user so no pro-Apple bias here). It sure sounds like she’s not the greatest fan of change.
And also, as already said by many other comments, an 11 year old laptop is about the opposite of planned obsolescence.
Ok, thanks. I totally get the massive debts and his name being a liability (at least to the people who have enough money to buy what he’s selling).
