Ah, so that’s what they use in a cremation chamber nowadays…

OPUS files

Ah yes, a man of culture

Screw MP3, Opus is better.

-f 140 is AAC, please don’t do that. -f 251 is better since it’s Opus, the best versatile lossy codec so far.

Is the last one an absolute requirement?

No, but it must match capacitive reader’s performance.

I’ve just checked the 2023 version of Moto G Stylus and… IPS? Seriously, Motorola? Sorry, devil wears Prada and flagships wear AMOLED.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that G Stylus isn’t supposed to be a flagship. Duh.

Thank you for suggesting something anyway. Guess I’ll stick to the Note 9 and keep fixing it until the world dies.

it’s frequently 10 Fahrenheit or lower in the winter

Fair enough, we don’t hit such temperatures regularly in Warsaw (Poland).

a literal freezing steering wheel

Is it that bad? Wow. Didn’t know that. I though the cage would provide at least some thermal insulation.

hold on to it for 10 mins until the heat kicks on

If my colleagues lived in a climate as cold as yours, they’d have mounted parking heaters (e.g. Webasto) by now. Electrics struggle in cold, but they can preheat themselves before the ride, using just the electricity.

I’m assuming you live in a warm place

Warsaw is at the same latitude as Edmonton in Canada, so shouldn’t be really that warmer.

or don’t drive a car

Winter 2022/23 was when we still were in our previous office. It was ½ hour long commute with my Xiaomi M365 electric scooter. This winter 2023/24 we moved to an office further away, so I was forced to change my daily vehicle to a motorcycle, maxiscooter SYM MaxSym 600i ABS. At least you have the goddamn cage.

Wish I had public transportation.

I miss having good alternative commute via metro and tram to our old office. Took almost the same time as e-scooter. But our new office? Public transit takes 2x as long as a motorcycle commute, according to Google Maps Timeline, so might as well not exist. So now we’re in similar situation. Wish you luck…

JUST FIVE?! Holy shit dude, how much of bad UI/UX have you been through?

ZiemekZ , to technology in VW Is Putting Buttons Back in Cars Because People Complained Enough

Holy shit, it’s like User Inyerface, but for stoves!

What do you need a touchscreen for? You just take an appropriate pump (E95, Diesel), fill the fuel and pay at the register.

wear gloves when driving

For example?
If it’s so cold that you wear gloves, then get your AC fixed because it should’ve been running by the time you drive off.

Like if I didn’t have any mess in my bookmarks as well…

Apart from that, a tab open means a task to do. I can bookmark an interesting tab only if I’ve “been there” already, e.g. if I’ve already read an article cover to cover.

ZiemekZ , to technology in The world's 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars

A fully enclosed velomobile would probably do the job, but I don’t think it’s legal anywhere in Europe :(

I’ve got a hard nut to crack as well, my Note 9 is peak Samsung and I can’t find a replacement that has stylus, 3.5 mm jack, microSD and capacitive fingerprint scanner (in-display ones suck, at least on A50 from my workplace).

My boss traded in a pixel 1

He probably didn’t realize having Pixel 1 means unlimited lifetime Google Photos backup in original quality… I bought a 50-60$ used one just for that purpose.

Samsung’s official service center refused to not wipe the phone after a screen replacement, because “procedures”. Paying extra wasn’t even an option! So I said “fuck them” and took my Note 9 to an independent repairman who did it at half the official price because he could separate broken glass from a working screen and replace just the former. I simply turned the phone off and trusted Samsung Secure Startup encryption before handing it over to the guy. That was the moment I thanked myself for turning on full-disk encryption.
