I have a galaxy s21 that I’ve been using for the last 3 years. I haven’t noticed any difference in performance from the day I got the phone, and I don’t feel I’ll need to upgrade for another couple years. Full disclosure, I did use adb to remove a ton of Samsung bloat when I got the phone, and that definitely improved performance, so I’m not sure how different my experience would be with all the extra Samsung stuff added.
In the cheaper price point, IEMs are probably the way to go for noise isolation. If you can get ear tips with a good seal, then the passive noise isolation should be good enough. I’d recommend something like the kz zsn pro (~$20) or the kiwiears cadenza (~$30), along with comply foam tips (~$15) for a perfect seal into your ear. If you have smaller ears like me, then kz IEMs can be a bit uncomfortable, so keep that in mind. If your budget stretches further, then you can try Etymotic ER2SE IEMs (~$100), which have triple flange tips that really plug your ears deep, but I definitely don’t find them comfy enough for long sessions.
If your device doesn’t have a headphone jack, an Apple USB C dongle (~$10) is plenty good enough for any IEMs, or you could get a Bluetooth DAC from Fiio starting at around $40 (for the longest time I had one doing double duty for my headphones and for Bluetooth audio in my car).
My hands get really dry after washing bottles for my newborn, and nothing does the trick quite as well as working hands (although it does feel oily after applying, so I only use it right before going to sleep)
Division Bell! It’s punchy and tart with the citrus and slightly bitter aperol, and the mezcal gives a really welcome smoky flavor. I add just a quarter oz simple to the standard recipe, otherwise I find it a little dry.
-1 ounce mezcal -3/4 ounce Aperol -1/4 ounce Luxardo maraschino liqueur -3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed -1/4 ounce simple syrup
-Add ingredients to a shaker with ice, shake well before straining into a coupe and garnishing with a grapefruit twist
Seconding Jack Rudy’s. While you’re doing yourself a favor, do yourself a favor and try 0.75oz syrup and 0.75oz st. Germain. That extra floral note is great with some gins (I’ve tried citadelle and malfy with this recipe to great success)
How to destroy your up-and-coming indie studio in three simple steps!
Publicly fuck over the two people most responsible for your massively successful IP, ensuring they’ll never work with you again
Cancel any follow-up to your massively successful IP and continue with projects nobody cares about
Fire the rest of the staff responsible for your only successful IP
Join the cult of embedded engineers! My current project at work uses a cortex m0, so we have 32kB of code ROM and 4kB of RAM. It’s really satisfying finding little optimizations to save a couple dozen bytes here or there, and there’s never the pressure to just slap together code without worrying about size or speed since you can’t afford it with the hardware you’re using
Dumb question: did you remember to plug the battery connector back in? Or maybe you damaged that connector? That would explain if it only works when connected to power
It probably falls into the “costs a shit ton” but some people recommend the fellow carter mug. I’ve never tried it myself, but apparently ceramic-coated insides are best for not affecting the taste of coffee. I think I also saw some kind of ceramic-coated travel mug at Starbucks too? Can’t speak for how spill-proof either of those things are though
Not sure if it automatically changes Facebook links, but the Facebook container extension is good at removing other tracking that Facebook does through news sites and such
Ooh, would be an interesting concept to have a folding phone with a physical keyboard+smaller screen for the outer display, as opposed to making the outer screen a normally-sized phone screen
I would love to see an actual lawyer’s take on this. Jirard’s response is basically “we mislead everyone and were shitty for not donating before now, but it was perfectly legal for us to hold the money until now, and it was also legal for us to use donations for operating expenses of the foundation/events”. While Karl presents a lot of evidence of misleading statements by Jirard, his usage of the encyclopedia brittanica to define charity fraud instead of any actual legal definition, and presentation of evidence as more damning than it actually is (and in a very hostile manner) leads me to view both sides in a negative light. At this point, I have no idea whether either side has any legal grounds for the accusations made toward the other, and I don’t see that changing unless someone with actual legal knowledge weighs in
My wife and I ended up having a girl, but the names we were thinking of if we had a boy were Apollo or Layton. Those probably don’t need your criteria, but just throwing it out there!
True, but people who used to be served one ad per video are now being served 4 or 5, which both lessens the value of each individual ad, and gives more incentive to get rid of them with premium
That would be Age of Ultron, also home to the wonderfully awful scene where black widow tells Bruce banner that she’s a monster too because she can’t reproduce 😬
I think the major difference that determines copywrightability is the amount of control the artist has on the outcome. If a photographer doesn’t like the composition of a photo, there’s a variety of things they can do to directly impact the photo (camera positioning/settings, moving the subjects, changing lighting, etc.), before it’s even captured by the camera. If someone is generating a picture with AI and they don’t like the composition of the image, there’s nothing they can do directly impact what the output will be.
If you want a picture of an apple, where the apple is placed precisely at a certain spot in frame, a photographer can easily accomplish this, but someone using AI will have to generate the image over and over, hoping that the algorithm decides to eventually place the apple exactly in the desired spot
Even compared to something like a washed Ethiopian? To be honest I’ve never tried kopi luwak, I just figured it was overhyped and comparable to other specialty coffee lol
That reminds me of this great place I once went to that was literally just a farm house that was repurposed into a restaurant, in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road and surrounded by farmland. It wasn’t cheap but also not outrageous, and the salads were amazing.
I also just remembered this Hungarian restaurant. Can’t get any more homey than some ukranian grandma’s house
You can get that same experience with coffee for much cheaper, but it does require a little effort. You just need to find a good coffee roaster near you or online where you can get freshly roasted specialty coffee(arabica, not robusta; and from a single farm, not a blend), instead of the stuff at grocery stores that’s been sitting for months. It might cost $15-$20 a bag, but that’s still less than a dollar per cup! If you want the absolute best coffee, then grinding the beans yourself and using something like an aeropress or pourover brewer is ideal, but you can still get great coffee just by buying locally roasted beans from a nearby shop, letting them grind the beans for you, then brewing with a regular old coffee machine
My work phone is an iPhone and I love this feature. The moment it’s past work hours I no longer get buzzed for any notifications, and I only see direct messages on the home screen
