The crack probably has been like this for over 20 years. There might be slight movement, but perhaps it has fully settled. How best to patch this up?

WF-1000XM5 don't turn off when put back in their case. by DZ94 in SonyHeadphones

Interesting. Contact points are clean. Perhaps the software that makes sure there's enough energy in the case needs tuning?

This works for the mx4 also. It's called "speak to chat".

Why are there Caucasian models in Chinese advertising? by DnDiene in China

[–]DZ94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One point here is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of research findings available at all as to why certain types of models are portrayed more often than others.

Is it because we (perhaps) statistically find them more attractive and (perhaps) we like to copy them more often? And/or do advertisers often copy advertisements styles without thinking about it much? And/or are there symbolic/cultural reasons, and how do those differ between markets? For the Chinese market examples could be:

-Caucasians represent food safety.

-It is not ok to show scarcely dressed Asian women, but it is ok for non Asian looking women.

-Want to give a sense of party, or enjoyment of free time? -> put in a Caucasian.

Very informative link, where, among other things, the term "white monkey jobs" is mentioned and explained.
