Are you over 35? If a friend calls me on the phone something bad’s happened.

Is it the Dichotic listening part? Airpod Pros might do wonders.

Well that’s what I get for not reading the label

Painters tape is great… but it’s blue. Maybe attach white tape to the top of painters tape? Not sure how it’ll look. Right now I just have the cable running at the floor and I’ve forgotten about it

there have been many posts about YouTube detecting blockers recently and warning users it’s against the ToS. Not sure if they are widespread or not.

Maybe, but they have two major competitors that they need to stay around the cost of.

There are some scripted podcasts with more enthusiastic narration, background music, etc than some audiobooks I’ve listened to. I thought Walter Isaacson‘s recording on his Dell podcast was better than one of his books from a few years back.

Yea, and podcasts usually have better production. I guess ads are that lucrative idk.

I have no idea about the economics of audiobooks personally, I am more of a short form reader, so when I do read a book, I bought it used for a couple bucks off eBay or from a local used book store. I am far from the target market for audiobooks.

Seriously, people need to stop complaining about absolutely everything. It’s so tiring. This is something no one was paying for yesterday. Audible is what? $15 a month for one book?

Case, cooler, power supply, storage at minimum, dongle/adapters probably too.

Giant has wands at some locations on the east coast, but not all of them. Not sure how checkout works.

I’m agreeing with them. By the time you buy the Pi 5, and all the add-ons you need, it’s going to rival these SFF systems with full x86 Intel chips with efficiency cores.

You can buy beelink small form factor pcs from Amazon for around $150 with cases and power supplies included.

IKEA has fast lanes. Walmart makes you checkout at the self checkout still but you need Walmart+ to even do it. Apple lets you pay right on your phone.

I prefer the stores that let you scan your items on your smartphone and just pay via it or at least go through a fast lane where you just tally it up at the self checkout and go. Especially if they have convoluted coupons or bonuses that o can track as I go.

Have you never been in a line for self checkouts?

This was the problem with my Synology recently. System would light up and “click” off over and over again. Replaced the PSU was all it needed.

I’d rather be able to filter these topics from sites like Lemmy, I’ll never actually go to them. I’m curious what you’re really trying to accomplish.

Much of what is taught about that historical event didn’t really happen, or was conflated together. No real evidence to suggest it’s proof of the settlers being welcomed any more than tolerance of a technologically superior group of people.
