    Yea, I’m leaving my account active but just not posting with it anymore. I only use reddit on my desktop now to view the few subreddits that have not moved to a new site/forum yet.

    There’s too much useful information on reddit going away. I understand the sentiment and the act of protest, but it’s still painful to the common man.


  • Hm, I guess my personal theory is that by the time Deep Space Nine was airing, the viewers were already aware of the Ferengi, Cardassians, and Klingons to where they could get away with having factions and differing cultural views.

    Then again, they even created a bit of a divide inside the Dominion which was completely new, so who knows. Maybe the DS9 show runners just knew how to handle it better.

    My only experience was a Pixel 7 that was fantastic at launch, and then dreadful after a handful of updates.

    I am on T-Mobile and they had to delay/cancel/unrelease OTA updates because of issues with the carrier network. I ended up having to sell the phone because it would not roam from tower to tower, it would drop signal and then latch to a new tower. You can just imagine how many dropped calls I had.

    However my fiancee is still using her Pixel 5, which has been just like new since she got it shortly after launch, and another friend that is still using a 3XL since launch with no issues. Unsure if it should be chalked up to Tensor, or my bad luck.


  • The dongle situation is easy if your phone has a built-in DAC in the USB-C port. The Galaxy S phones do, and I have had zero issues with the 4 or so DACs/adapters that I have tried. I can even use the USB-C to 0.78mm cable off Drop for my IEMs.

    But if you grab a phone that does not have that built-in DAC, you will need to be sure you check compatibility before buying any.



  • I think the idea of reverse wireless charging is cool as hell, but only if you have wireless buds or a smartwatch to take advantage of it.

    The heat, energy loss, and extra time to use wireless charging is not worth it to use full time imo. You also cannot use your device nearly as much on a wireless charger vs a long cable.

    But when it’s integrated into bar tops, tables, etc., to charge your phone while at a restaurant or something, that’s extremely convenient.

    It feels very situational to me.
