There are a few phones that still do a headphone jack and expandable storage but they definitely aren’t the big flagship brands if that’s what you are looking for.

Heck, Moondrop a predominantly audio gear manufacturer, just launched a phone specifically for audiophiles and it has a 3.5mm/4.4mm headphone jack combo. I don’t think its quite as modern in the other aspects but hey, it has the unicorn features we don’t see nearly as often!

There was that Nathan For You episode where they locked that kid in a coffin and had an orgy outside to test the sound proofing. No real practical use but apparently it did a good job.

All jokes aside, I’m very interested to hear if something exists to that degree of practical hearing protection. Maybe a "suit"of sorts to cancel noise and dampen bone conduction or super active noise cancelling?

I’m not your friend… you brigand.

That one’s going to sting. Can’t for get old favorite’s like “wretch”, and “charlatan”!

Eczpurt ,

You’re going to get the populace riled up talking like that.

Side of bed debate - Which side is left?

Which side of the bed is the left side? Is the answer based on the perspective of laying in the bed (person’s head at the head end)? Is the answer based on viewing it from the foot of the bed, looking at the head of the bed? Is there an “anatomical position” or special terminology like in boating for this?...

Eczpurt ,

I would say the foot is the Stern and the head the bow I guess. Just to stay with a sort of head being the front of something and foot being the tail end.

Eczpurt ,

I guess even if you are a stomach sleeper your feet are still towards the foot. Maybe this is best.

Eczpurt ,

Probably closer to renting the OS lol

Eczpurt ,

I love the idea that this isn’t a smear campaign but a promotional one haha. You’re right this article mostly reads “Apart from some shakes and wanting more later, these are all a great time” lmao.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but if you’re using stock Pop_OS it uses xorg by default as the compositor which iirc has issues with multiple monitors on different refresh rates. You can edit your .config file to enable the Wayland compositor and give it a try and see if it works!

Eczpurt ,

Thanks for linking the guide, totally slipped my mind!

If you haven’t already check ProtonDB for compatibility on your steam library! Anti cheat is usually a no go but some games will work. Non steam games you’ll have to check something like Lutris/Heroic for support.

Glad to hear things are improving and you haven’t given up!

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...

Eczpurt ,

Working at a gas station, most of the truckers that came in would call me “boss” or “chief” which I thought was funny. Like “thanks boss” or “how’s it going chief”. Not sure its for everyone but its certainly neutral in my eyes.

    Maybe we avoid cruelty and stick to shitty memes.

    This is a good example for investment in renewables or at the very least, nuclear power.

    Eczpurt ,

    This is the way. You can avoid the funky Satan’s anus portion like normal and you get to open it incredibly quickly. Bonus you get two halves that are easy to use for peanut butter + banana ‘hotdogs’.

    Relocate next to a reactor, plug in your 400GW GPU, and still get 30fps in flight simulator.

    Recommendations for an authentic mousepad?

    Hiya peeps, my mouse mat has served its time, and it is time for a new one. Until now, I’ve had one of these huge ones, that cover half the desk. But I think this time I’m gonna aim for a normal-sized one. I’d also like to avoid cheap Chinese wares or anything low-quality. Anyone got any nice recommendations for mousepads?...

    Eczpurt ,

    Artisan makes some quality deskpads if you are interested in spending a little extra. Otherwise a generic deskmat will do the trick and you won’t be too worried about dirtying it or ruining it.

    Can’t say I’ve run into Linux oriented mouse/deskpads but it’s likely one search term away!

    Eczpurt ,

    I’m surprised this number isn’t lower than half already. I figured by now, any shows airing regularly could simply be streamed right from the source rather than waiting for a timeslot and ads.

    Or is there a reason to keep using cable over streaming?

    Eczpurt ,

    As long as you can keep busy that way it is fine to have those jobs with downtime! The challenge arises when, for example, the workplace doesn’t allow personal cellphones on site or in the work area. Or perhaps there is an expectation to look busy all the time so you don’t have the leisure to read or write. I’ve had the luxury to have a job where I can relax a fair bit and have some enjoyable free time with your pastimes listed above.

    My previous job was at a workplace with no useable internet, poor cellular signal, and no phones allowed while working policy. Very strict to always be doing something to look busy but when there is nothing to do it gets dreadful.

    Looking forward to others experiences on this!

    Eczpurt ,

    Just buy a pre built, take all the parts out and put em back in for the full experience. It really feels like a new build if you leave it apart for a few weeks so you forget where everything was!

    Eczpurt ,

    That’s a Lobsturkey 'round these parts.

    Eczpurt ,

    You could try Niagara Launcher. I’m using it and it’s got that decluttered home screen but it’s fairly minimal. It’s worth mentioning you do get most relevant features in the free version.

    I was grading seed at a grain processing/storage facility for a few years and it had enough down time during the evenings to do any schooling. I managed a full-time pre calculus to shore up my post secondary education requirements. My coworker ended up going back to college for programming and did a lot of his work on the afternoon shift. Our schedule was a 6am-2pm with little down time, and then an afternoon shift from 2pm-10pm with way more free time.

    In my case, you didn’t have as much down time as some other quieter jobs but they paid ~$30 an hour so there’s value if you are looking for some extra cash. No prior experience required.

    There was a 12hr night/day rotation for other parts of the facility where you’d swap every few days and get a week off somewhere in the mix but that schedule wasn’t for me.

    How can I hold a Zenphone before buying it?

    My wife is in the market for a new phone. Her highest priority is that it’s small. She has it narrowed down to a Galaxy S23 or a Zenphone 10. The Samsung is the safe bet, especially since she’s upgrading from an S10e. And even so, we can just got to T-mobile and play with one. The Zenphone is a bit riskier as it’s...

    Eczpurt ,

    I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill here my man. Having no questions asked 14 days to see if you like not only the form factor but also the stock OS sounds pretty good. I think it’d be just as annoying to hold the phone for 5 minutes, buy it, and then find out later you have gripes with the OS that you don’t like.

    Even though you think it’s annoying to do, it might be worth the trouble to atleast try the phone you aren’t familiar with.

    Eczpurt ,

    There has to be some sort of incentive either for smaller cars or against larger cars. Currently you can go into a dealer, tell them you want the biggest baddest truck/SUV that they have, and buy it all while having a normal license.

    You’d only be paying a slight premium on whatever road or fuel tax if that while having the benefit of not getting destroyed in a car accident. As it stands, there is little reason to buy a larger vehicle unless you actually don’t like driving a car that big.

    217 shots, my guy went straight for that 6G.

    Running the reactor exclusively at night would be pretty funny… The air temperature might be able to cool it enough. Apparently night time on the moon gets far below -100C, that has to have some cooling merit no?

    Some solar to offset the day time losses? Idk I’m no scientist. Either way insanely ambitious project.

    Eczpurt ,

    Never driven on the other side of the road but I have driven right hand drive. It was a little strange for pretty much the first couple shifts but the pattern was ultimately the same.

    Personally I enjoyed the experience, it’s always fun to try something new. I still prefer left hand drive because it’s what I’m used to but don’t let comfort keep you from a memorable experience!

    How often do you change your mobile phone plan?

    I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won’t upgrade me to it until I contact them. There’s also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit...

    Eczpurt ,

    For myself, my provider is online only so there’s no need to call anyone. I end up just browsing the website once in a while or whenever I recommend them to someone. Beats having to hound a company and sit on hold forever when the online providers are what you see is what you get. Not to mention having to pay attention to contract expiry so your bill isn’t randomly high one month.

    I had a similar issue when my game fps was hard capped to be lower than my monitors refresh rate. The game felt choppy despite being easy to run.

    Eczpurt ,

    My favorite part is the pickled glass shards

    Eczpurt ,

    Yeah, it’d be a little more meaningful if it was dictated by the OS rather than the brand.

    Eczpurt ,

    Any idea what kind of health complication causes blood to gush from your nose and mouth? Sounds insane to watch especially when you can’t leave the immediate area…

    Eczpurt ,

    Love the guy at the entrance making sure the dancing is going smoothly lol. A dance hall like this feels like a foreign concept nowadays!

    Eczpurt ,

    That explains the knife, they have to defend themselves.

    Eczpurt ,

    So do these shell companies get investigated once they see an anomaly? Or is it a case of “whoops we forgot to update our current CEO. Thanks for the reminder.”

    Eczpurt ,

    That’s gotta be the shrimp who fried my rice

    Eczpurt ,

    If you still enjoy the game, I believe mobile won’t require Vanguard.

    Eczpurt ,

    Innovators always ask whether or not they could rather than if they should smh.

    Eczpurt ,

    Everything keeps evolving into crabs!

    Eczpurt ,

    Not sure what kind but I think it’s a squid
