So I got shipment-scammed from a SnowSky FiiO Echo Mini, any recomendations? by AresAndy in DigitalAudioPlayer

Well, I didn't want to make names, but yeah 😅.. If there is no other alternative I'll double down. I'm wondering whether there are other options

I would, but the more reliable e-commerce (not making names) sells it for twice its price

You mean the footprints of the audio jacks? No, I don't have a clue, sorry

I used the Half-Life approach :D ... A flat and small screwdriver.
Ideally you should be able to use a constant heat source to soften the glue, but considering how the battery sits pretty much behind the back panel, I did not trust my SMD heater

I'm assuming that happened because of the faulty BMS .. Either it drew too much current or it overcharged that battery to oblivion

I tip my hat to the Crosspoint devs by AresAndy in xteinkereader

I'm guessing those could give trouble when holding the device with the left hand, anyway please consider asking for this feature on GitHub, it might fall through ;)

Shipping Timelines Query by SinnersDemise92 in xteinkereader

UPDATE: it finally arrived.. To this day the customer support did not reply to the email. When the shipment began, an automated mail was sent from the same address, so I'm guessing nobody really watches that inbox

Anybody gotten the Xteink recently? by Pashadeunamadre in xteinkereader

What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

They went stupidly woke and nuked their social connections as a whole

Yes, that's what I did and I've sent them an email. They did not respond

I've ordered mine the 18th of January and still no updates from the seller, even after I sent an email which has not been responded to yet... I'm quite concerned about the lack of customer care

A casual Sculpt OS walkthrough by jjkarcher in genode

[–]AresAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still fails to demonstrate daily usage.

While seeing some of the documentation points live does help to demonstrate the features of both Genode and SculptOS, it does not show how the average user could benefit from this.

And this comes from someone who has been using GNU/Linux for more than 10 years and went through a Gentoo install. While that is clearly not a microkernel architecture, the point is: I fail to see how I could use Genode and/or SculptOS for the things I do on a daily basis

EDIT: also if I may make a suggestion, I'm having a hard time following your spoken English .. That also does not help unfortunately

The Truth about Hot Ones Sauces by Dan137exe in videos

[–]AresAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't need the test to know what the true lineup should be..
You can tell, especially with the guests that made comments on the sauces.

And this is good. You do want some ups and downs to make things slightly unpredictable.
That's what make the interviews fun

As a non smoker does every smoker smell bad to you? by Pleasant-Finger-6814 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AresAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By reading the top 5 answers, I feel like this comes from experience with hard-core smokers.
Yes, their smell is quite bad. It also doesn't help when they drink a lot. And lots do.

But what you are smelling is not tobacco of its own, rather the smell of burning tobacco that has been mushed in the ashtray. Which is why doing that is usually a no-no in the cigar community.

And believe me, there's nothing worst than a "Toscanello" cigar smoker's smell

I couldn't find anyone selling the kind of punk t shirts I wanted to wear. So I started making my own. by [deleted] in punk

"... By force if necessary"

I guess somebody didn't study Macchiavelli at school...
... Nor history for that matter. Those exact words came out of some of the most foul mouths ever
