Still human, of course 😁

OK I can add to this. From own experience in two cases, if you are open to suggestions.

So, in psychology as I understand it positive memories outweigh negatives ones since for the average person negative memories get sort of padded and fade.

I’ve always wondered why people tend to go soft with negative experiences and the longer it has been the more harmless it was. I’ve seen this first hand on family and friends and partly had to remind close family what someone else did and when reminded they snapped back to their original attitude, so to say. But they would’ve forgotten the emotional impact.

So why has it always been so different for me? I found out I am an Autist and this seems to be one of the core differences. This imo also relates to why we don’t really forgive if certain thresholds have been crossed. And of course, the world view is far more negative due to the retained memories including emotional remembrance.

The second case is too much for one post, so let’s leave it at that for now.

No worries, I was just stressing the price difference because I’d expect even I could hear a difference, which I could not.

Also, having anc on on one ear and off on another is a very unwelcome experience. And it happened several times with the 400€ Sony earbuds.

I think guilt tripping is part of it in the US. Here (Europe) we just apply for the stuff that were eligible for.

Make them fight each other as a distraction!

Yes, but I am not exaggerating that I couldn’t hear any difference between those and +200-300 more expensive earbuds and with less technical issues.

Anker liberty 4 NC are excellent. Here they’re often around 60€. Can be paired with 2 devices simultaneously or use ldac.

I also have the Sony reference over ears headphones and can not notice enough difference for the huge price difference. Since the anker earbuds work so well for me I wanted to ‘upgrade’ to the Sony earbuds but I noticed no notable difference in audio quality nor anc capability but had regular issues where left and right earbuds behaved erratically (eg left anc on right not) which I seriously never had with the anker ones. So I sent the Sony ones back…

Rich people holding 99%.of everything and pitting us against each other. Most people have no idea about the scope of riches. We could all be much better.

Indeed, it’s all a combination of assumption and observation. And of course, technical knowledge.

I could go into deeper details of the whole context but it is very difficult in this form.

But for this dialog I think the most important aspect, which we also agree on, is that we can assume a huge number of people to be ‘broken’ or in need of help, which is the attack vector I was referring to.

And in that context, I am convinced the tech bros have absolutely no idea what they’re doing (to humanity).

My cardiologist would also like to know.

However mostly only excessive like a few cups or more per day.

Despite the downvotes I actually agree. While I am not saying there is no AI psychosis there has to be groundwork for it to thrive. A healthy human would/could see it as the bullshit it is.

So yes, I don’t think he was that well in the first place. Currently, since the worldwide situation isn’t all that good, I think that also adds to a lot of people not being well.

Eh, I seemed to do fine when I had to use it a few years at work. It was good in most parts compared to Windows.

However. That fucking keyboard layout is from hell.

Awww yeah autism vacation!

Indeed. That’s why I don’t let it creep into my life.

Lol, US things 🤷

(Don’t hate! It really is a deeply US thing. We’re a very car Country as Germany but a thing like that would be totally alien to us.)

I don’t hate BMW drivers. I am incapable of understanding why one person can not obey trivial rules that benefit all.

The BMW driver was just a cliche and symbol I used to transport this.

To be clear, I understand how it is and that depending on a multitude of factors (location, time, etc) the rules change. But someone knowing the rules and not having a detriment by complying and still not adhering to them is malicious and should be punished or otherwise facing consequences.

Hmm, I don’t think I can change the rubber only on this model.

Yearly, hell no. When it doesn’t wipe correctly anymore (due to the rubber, and cleaned of course)

I am unable to change just one, I have to change them all at once or it won’t leave my mind.

I’m a it professional (working in enterprise DCs) and have been running ts2 and murmur myself. It was misleading from the beginning and while I do understand your point I can not see a company doing this in good faith, I am too old for that.

You evil being ♥️
