Sony WH-1000XM4
First couple days I actually got dizzy from the noise canceling, now I can't live without it.
I can't stand wired headphones anymore. They always seem to break somewhere along the cable or connection to the cable, no matter how careful you handle them. I can now also easily listen to music or whatever while doing stuff in the kitchen.
For me it's the freedom. No big corp is over my shoulder, No one person is in control. Even if the admin's for lemmy.world go crazy or something I can just make another account on another instance. I'm actually planning on running my own instance but I'm broke so it'll probably for just my friends and I, running on some office PC I find for cheap on Ebay
There’s no such thing as a slow implosion death. That’s just called being crushed. It’s sorta like how you can’t have a slow explosion death, but even less likely because in an explosion you can be thrown clear with slowly fatal injuries
Does that address some of the intermittent connection issues (e.g. “failed to save vote”)? I’ve been wondering if that’s a rate-limiting issue with the wefwef.app instance
Worked for royal mail as postie for nearly 15 years now, was an incredible job and a decent company to work for but now they are racing to become Amazon whilst also trying to ger rid of the uso ( government agreed 6 day a week mail service that hits targets) we are tracked and given more work than possible and they are now bringing in a new workforce on terrible contracts for less money. Our strikes did nothing because the company is rogue asf.
Wow. It’s very interesting / illuminating to hear from a postie on this issue. Thanks for all your years of service, for what it’s worth I respect the fuck out of you. It’s such an important job.
My usual postlady is fantastic but recently we’ve had a new guy, he returns the cheery ‘hello’ with a glare and a grunt. And I presume is responsible for the recent cockups… but I’ll temper my annoyance because from the sounds of it, they’re massively taking the piss out of you all.
Magisk is not hard to install either, especially if you’re using LineageOS (since the Lineage bootloader is readily available). Look up a guide sometime, if you managed to flash a.ROM you should have no problems with it.
Once Magisk is installed in the bootloader you just need to run the companion Magisk app for settings, and Fox’s Module Manager to find and update Magisk modules. It’s basically a sort of specialized app store that deals in Magisk modules only.
In fact you may want to have a look at Fox’s before you install Magisk, see if you find any interesting module. There’s some really cool stuff available.
I do not recommend using Fox Manager. Their repos are outdated. Better search for modules directly on github or just type “module-name-here releases” in your search engine and there is a 99% chance that you will get the latest version.
Edit: Some modules can be updated directly in magisk app.
Steel Series Wireless Pros. There's an external DAC via USB and then a 2.4ghz wireless connection to the headset. The DAC also charges the spare battery that comes with the headset so I never have to worry about charging the thing.
The mic is okay. Good enough for work and discord. The sound is great.
Plug and play compatibility with Linux. I haven't tried the Steel Series app yet but I barely used it on Windows anyways.
About 900 years ago in China humans developed overbites, previous skulls showed biting edges that aligned, more like apes. The same happened in Europe about 250 years ago. The change was too abrupt to be evolutionary, and the times lined up with the adoption of chopsticks (and the precutting of food to suit) in China and the adoption of knife and fork in Europe. The muscles in our jaws need exercise to develop, like any other muscle. Weakness in these muscles, (experiments support) lead to human development of overbites, which is the norm now. https://www.businessinsider.com/using-cutlery-has-changed-the-human-face-2015-3?r=US&IR=T That may mean if we raised our young on a tougher diet without cutlery or precutting most of that overtbite would not develop and our facial structure would look quite different. And an even less chewy diet would exaggerate the overbite further, over timescales much shorter than evolution takes effect, i,e. It would be a developmental structural change capable of being reversed, not a genetic hereditory change.
I don't think anyone has any real data on the failure point, which is the needed info to know how long it would take to die. There has been lots of speculation that the carbon fiber used (rejected by Boeing as being out-of-spec) or the use of dissimilar materials each with different thermal expansion and contraction coefficients, to the "bubble window" being way under spec because the CEO didn't want to pay for a proper spec one.
Without those we don't know exactly how fast. We don't know if they passengers had any indication of a problem (sounds?) or if it started leaking before it imploded or if it was an instant catastrophic failure.
I believe they have found parts of the wreckage. I wonder if we will get any clues to how it happened. I guess either way they wouldn't have survived long
I think based on the reported sounds from US Navy and James Cameron (what a weird sentence), we are actually pretty sure it was a rapid, catastrophic and instantaneous implosion.
Specs aren't a universal constant. They're defined by humans. Expert humans, but humans. He must have thought he knew better than the experts. He was wrong, but I don't think the lesson had time to sink in.
He may have thought along these lines... So the window is rated for 1500m interesting usually engineers use a 3x safety factor when they rate something that'd be....(sound of slowly grinding gears) 4500m! But I'm only going about 4000m meters down?
Jackpot! I'm not going to waste my time certifying the window to some silly extra strong standard! Take that you nerds!
They died by being crushed with enough pressure such that the air inside the sub ignited ie compressed so much it essentially exploded. Death was instant.
I know a diesel engine works off compression, but it has a fuel. All fires must have oxygen, fuel, and heat. What fuel would they have in the titan to ignite?
Everything (including the passengers) inside the sub could have been fuel for combustion had there been time for the reaction to take place. If I remember correctly the interior of the sub could have temporarily been hotter than the surface of the sun during the implosion. Pretty sure just about everything burns at those temps. But the collapse and gas release from the hull happened so quickly I doubt there was time for anything to ignite.
Ex-people, plastic and so on. With a small room’s worth of air it wouldn’t have burned long, though.
More significant is just how hot it would get as it collapses. When you suddenly compress an an ideal gas (which air is a lot like) it gets hotter in proportion to it’s previous absolute temperature. Room temperature is already 273K, and the pressure down there is hundreds of time larger than at the surface. At some point the law would break down on the way, but you get the basic idea. It was probably as hot as the sun without any help from combustion
If you were to slowly lower an open glass into the ocean, it would gradually fill with water. So i just think its the same with the sub, albeit faster?
Sure, but “faster” here means around the speed of sound, and that’s fundamentally a different thing from the playful streams we’re used to. The thing was waaay down there when it went.
If there was a tiny little hole somewhere that wasn’t getting larger, maybe it would slow down enough to just gradually fill the vessel. In that case, though, it would not have imploded. They found it in pieces and the US Navy heard the pop.
Yeah I guess if you think of the fact it actually went ‘boom’ you can imagine the water didnt really flow in but rather flew in very fast. There was probably a huge shockwave that killed them instantly
When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500 miles per hour - that’s 2,200 feet per second. A modern nuclear submarine’s hull radius is about 20 feet. So the time required for complete collapse is 20 / 2,200 seconds = about 1 millisecond.
A human brain responds instinctually to stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response (sense→reason→act) is at best 150 milliseconds.
The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapors. When the hull collapses it behaves like a very large piston on a very large Diesel engine. The air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion. Large blobs of fat (that would be humans) incinerate and are turned to ash and dust quicker than you can blink your eye.
Did some math based on that number since it seemed pretty insane. That would mean that each side of the outer hull would have been moving inward at about 425mph by my estimate. Seems slower than I would expect by that number, but 4ms is hella fast.
To add context here, it takes your brain somewhere around 100ms to detect and then another 250 to process pain. So 4ms is not only fast, it’s absurdly fast.
To get a sense of how fast it is, go ahead and stub your toe, the time it took to feel it is 100 times longer.
And because what failed was the carbon fibre composite pressure vessel, it probably didn't even give any warnings to make them worried. It would be like squeezing a glass bottle, everything will be perfectly fine until it just instantly shatters.
