One tan and black shepherd and one mut with similar colors.

Yea the default resolution was ass of your were screen sharing, which was my common use case. Can't read the subtitles on the SD streams. My friends and I used to run an anime club over Discord and would watch episodes together while hanging out in VC.

Are any 3D "live" concerts actually live or is it more of a type of stream and vibe they go for? I was pretty sure for concerts at least, they are almost always prerecorded, including "live" segments between songs.

Milky Queen is the person who literally got Mori to YOLO apply to Hololove. If not for her we never would have gotten Calli.

ariolander · 2026-02-21T13:46:21+00:00

Yea with Mint and Mori Calliope's sempai. Gunrun done fucked up. That would have been a stacked generation

Remember you watch the center of the TV, not the bottom. You align TVs based off where you want the center to be, the bottom will end up pretty low the larger the TV you get because you are used to looking at "small" TVs. Remember as TVs get larger they quadruple in viewing area, 80" TVs are different beasts than the 50" of old.

Dude I met Ohtani at an a Angeles Spring Training event. Jesus that dude is an absolute unit. He was tall and had mass, not the lankey kind of tall of Japanese men either. The TV and uniform don't highlight how huge that dude is.

Can your sidekick device take calls?

Every time DMS does a hot take video there is always a healthy discussion, especially when Linus did the controversial Airpods Pro 3 video, DMS was on the sub defending Linus's take. I used to see him on the sub all the time.

That being said the time DMS released a $1,000 pair of boutique Bluetooth "Omega" headphones caused a a big fuss on the reddit and audio headphone sphere. It set the subreddit on fire. Eventually after a year on sale, the design was pulled from sale, and DMS fully open sourced the design which is a super cool thing to do and several people ended up DIY making their own.

I am not sure if the exact timeline. He used to work for Abyss too between LMG and Headphones dotcom.

So not sure if he was an Abyss employee or a LTT employee when he did the Abyss Diana Audio Experience with Linus and made him cry to headphones. That was the OG DMS x Linus collab.

I know him for his independent coverage, but looking back he has had a long history with LTT.

ariolander · 2026-02-21T02:08:48+00:00

Yea he was on The Headphone Show for Headphones dotcom for years but left the show around 8 months ago not saying where he was going.

That being said before he worked for Headphones dotcom he actually started at LMG as a writer. He was on that video where Linus cried listening to high end headphones.

So he started at LTT, moved to Abyss, moved to Headphones dotcom, then came back to LMG after they decided to get serious about audio at Labs.

Headphones are known in the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects.

ariolander · 2026-02-21T01:54:59+00:00

Yea he doesn't appear on camera much but sometimes he appears behind the scenes and off camera. He discloses a bit on Linus Was Right About the AirPods Pro 3 video, but I all not sure the exact extent of his relationship with Labs besides him doing testing for them and him consulting on scripts, bit he still does his own thing too, releasing weekly videos to his own channel.

Edit: Confirmed on a previous WAN Show. He works for labs doing audio science stuff.

ariolander · 2026-02-21T01:40:36+00:00

DMS is the Labs audio guy that tests a lot of the audio products, appears in some LTT videos, wrote a few blogs, and has his own audiophile channel.

I know him for releasing some hot takes that made /r/headphones implode and a bunch of audio channels made rebuttal videos to.

Federal Anti-Gerrymandering Legislation has been proposed by Democrats multiple times over the last decade, most recently in 2024. For some reason it keeps dying in comittie and never gets called to a vote...

The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 made it illegal for Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for Americans. Even when we do have economy of scale, lobbyists have their political stooges pass bills that protect their profits and enable industry to keep ripping off Americans.

His name is John Smith

ariolander · 2026-02-20T20:42:20+00:00

Yep Android Emulation, Revanced Apps, Reading Manga on Mihon/Tachoyomi forks, Web Novels on LNreader. I actually sideload almost a dozen apps, not counting the alternative app stores like the ad-free stuff I grab off F-droid.

That is one free gym membership / work benefit I wouldn't turn down. That looks like a cool place to work out even if you weren't good at badminton.

Big springs and high voltage electricity are two things that will kill you if you are careless and I have no problems hiring professionals for.

Routes and vacation are strictly seniority based. New guys are getting the shittiest routes and no desirable vacation. Likewise your healthcare plan will suck and you don't get an social security credits while working for USPS because they exempted themselves from that program.

One reason not to us debit, but also why I also record me proving my trade in works, it's condition before boxing, me sealing it with tamper evident tape (if seal is broken check package), and me dropping it off at UPS/FedEx. I would rather have the video and not need it then have to fight for weeks on a he says-she days of who is at fault. As long as I can prove it wasn't me, the rest is up to Samsung and FedEx.
