iPhone 4, nexus5, samsung7, samsung10, and all I can say is the Samsungs aren't like the nexus5 but at least they're not apple, whose keyboard and features I just hate. Good earbuds though.

I always wanted to be the cool hipster with cabled headphones and getting mad about phones without audio jack.

I'm triggered for I think I'm in this comment. But I'm less 'cool hipster' and more 'cantankerous nerd'. But allllll the rest is true.

All true. All good points.

I'm running out of places to buy a phone that offers a jack, though.

But my home rig is a USB sound dongle to wired earbuds usually. Occasionally a set of ANC buds for the bad days.

3055 was good.

1012 and ilk were also good, from the same era. I still have one of those running.

My LJ4+ lasted 21 years, the first part in an office setting and the latter a retirement in my home (and about 12 house moves). For its 19th I got its RAM filled. Woo! But we decided "as a household" that we didn't need a reliable energy pig printer for a few pages a month. It made the lights flicker and the UPSes report a brownout. But it was a good printer.

Now we have an m404n and it's everything today it needs to be.

Ink stinks, but I'll condone the toner. Inkjets are so unreliable compared to lasers. Good luck, but I worry you're stacking the deck against yourself a bit with the ink and would hate to see you lose here.

Wow. Okay, I misread it before, but still tell me more. What's your story ?

I love that you've set that boundary there and stick with it. Admirable.

My wife got the air pods pro 2 I think. Can't tell one from the other. She preferred the Samsungs so she got those and gave these to me because I liked them

And I do. It's the only piece of apple tech I have.

For me they for REALLY well. And I want people to be happy like me so I'm thinking all of the usual things you've been asked or recommended before. Because I want you to like yours like I like mine.

You know: try different tips, go watch a YouTube to confirm it's fitted right, etc. All ye things you've done or thought of doing, try it again with an open mind. And then sell them off, but yeah.

I hope, since this is probably a ways ago, that your current earbuds are working well. Phones seem to be incapable of a headphone jack, despite my startac-7800 fitting one in, so it's got to be fucking radio earbuds all the way, so you gotta find some that fit and make you happy.

A few more squares and we have the bingo board ready to go

My latest day-job employer has made the switch from Apples (and s20fe) to pixels. The staff - mainly nerds - is actually generally pleased with the switch.

If the embarrassment that is Purolator (our national postal service offshoot courier 'service') was adequate last week, not only would they break a 20-year streak but also I'd've had my shiny company pixel by now and could pepsi-challenge it against my wife's shiny new company iphone.

Fast, and easy to edit. It was a fantastic start page.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
