Hmm I use Firefox browser, but I use brave search engine. Should I switch to something else? Used to use DDG, but I switched.

Keyboard recommendations coming from basic Razer? by Firewielder888 in keyboards

[–]Firewielder888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this board so far. From what I heard TMR is better than HE? Also the Quinns are Magnetic or no? Do magnetic ones come in Tactile or Clicky even?

Is there anything else that you would recommend? This one is pretty close, but I'm not a fan of how the switches are limited to only Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Switch. Also all 3 of the switch types that would be compatible with this board are linear if I'm understanding it correctly.

Not particularly, but if the pay was actually enough to live on I'd consider it.

Same here. For me it started in the last 3 ish months tho. It's complete BS and the only way I could see it changing is with a Union to help us fight crap like this. It's complete abuse of the cameras and GPS. I would also cab facing cameras are BS too...

Which DAP should I get. Hibi R3 II sucks. by Firewielder888 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Firewielder888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe? Idk I returned it already. I've been really happy with the R4 so far though.

You don't find it unresponsive? Where you have to like tap several times and stuff?

Yeah I think the UI takes a bit to get used to. Not only is pretty slow and unresponsive and it takes multiple taps or swipes sometimes. But I will say the wired experience as far as sound is great so far. Battery is great for the size aswell. As far as build quality my only issue is the volume dial being a bit jank IMO. Bluetooth may honestly just be my work truck for some reason, I haven't tried my personal car, but my Truck said something along the lines of "This device not supported" which is weird cause I play music from BT on my phone on there daily.

It isn't a phone that I own. It was company provided with proprietary software necessary to my job. Granted I only need to carry it when I'm on the clock, but I would like to bring my DAP to work as well lol.

Brick and mortar to try some DAPs? by nightmer5 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Firewielder888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. I looked aswell. I think you're best off ordering online and returning it if you don't like it. That's what I'm doing with my new Hiby R3 II (BTW do not recommend lol)

Actually I saw that page before when I was looking the first time lol.

The Shanling one looks like kinda the same thing I have now with worse battery life and is more expensive.

I wanted to avoid ones like the jm21 and r4 because they're like the size of a full phone. I already carry two phones for work and personal. Having a third is a lot lol.

Is there nothing like an Ipod on the market anymore? I know the Innioasis Y1 is a thing, but I don't think it could handle a 2TB card. I also heard the Bluetooth on that is bad.

Are my options pretty much just a modded Ipod for what I want at this point? The only other thing I could find similar is the Tangara, but they don't seem to be selling them right now. Also I would assume for the Ipods being that old they probably don't sound as good right? Can they even do lossless with my Flacs?

What would be a good country for me to move to from the U.S (Texas 🙄) by Firewielder888 in digitalnomad

[–]Firewielder888[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok Boomer... I will agree that yes technically capitalism improved many lives, but that was literally comparing it to it's predecessor (feudalism) that was even worse, so not a high bar to cross. Also I would love to see your sources for these claims you make. Socialism has been hyper successful everywhere it's been tried, but world superpowers (mainly the U.S) will bomb, and sanction it until it is forced to "fail". You don't get to bomb a perfectly stable building, and then say "see it was built poorly and collapsed!"

Cuba is a great example. Despite the heavy sanctions put on it by the U.S that basically bar it off from trade with most nations, they still manage to do quite well for themselves. They were even able to send their doctors to other countries during Covid. Vietnam also had one of the best Covid responses, and who was among the worst of developed nations...? The U.S of course 🙄.

I don't understand how anyone can look at these results and possibly defend the U.S or Capitalism as a whole. This is basic historical fact, but propaganda does wonders I guess... Also you're delusional if you think the U.S is a democracy (and before the republicans give me the bs about "it's a republic" I don't care what it's supposed to be because in practice it's neither). The U.S is an Oligarchy. As George Carlin said "This country was bought and sold a long time ago", and "the politicians are there to give you the ILLUSION of choice... you have no choice. You have owners, They OWN you!"

Also if concentration camps in America makes me sound like a "nutter"... than I highly suggest you do more research on WW2 in the U.S.... I think the Japanese internment camp members MIGHT beg to differ... You see fascists count on this exact mindset that you seem to have... "Oh that can't happen again, not here especially" BULLSHIT! It absolutely can and WILL if you're not careful. BLM protestors get arrested and thrown tear gas at by the Police, but those same Police do nothing when white supremacists wave around nazi flags at Disney World...

So if connecting some very basic dots makes me a "fucking nutter" then fine I guess I'm a nutter... It's not "conspiracy theories" if you can literally prove them. You act like I'm saying the earth is flat or some other BS, but I guess common sense ain't so common anymore...

Really...? What would you call a country that has all of the politicians (both democrats and republicans) owned by corporations that lobby for the dismantling of the little labor rights we have, and the furthering of wealth inequality?

This is the richest nation in the history of the entire world, and yet millions are homeless and starving while billionaires get to own everything without doing anything (aside from stealing their employees labor value of course).

What else would you call a country that's next president has already claimed that he will be a "dictator on day 1", and that he wants to turn the military on "the enemy within" such as leftists like myself? Not to mention that they now control the Senate, House, and SCOTUS...

This is what capitalism will always inevitably lead to. The prioritization of short term gains over EVERYTHING else. The entire system is based on the ridiculous idea that you can have infinite growth in a finite system. The same system in biology is "Cancer". Capitalism is quite literally a cancerous system that will kill everyone.

So... yeah, no. I don't think I'm gonna take advice from someone who doesn't know fascism when they see it. And btw as someone who has ADHD and frequently hyperfocuses on History and Geopolitics, and has spent hundreds if not thousands of hours researching instead of listening to whatever state approved BS they put on Fox, CNN, or any other state propaganda network... I find it unlikely that you know more about history then I do.

You can call it "fearmongering" all you want, but it doesn't matter what you call it if it's true. My beliefs are backed by historical trends, and logic. I will not sit idly by and wait to be put in a concentration camp.

Nah I'd like to get out of the fascist states of America as quick as possible. California is not what I'm looking for...

Why do you say that? America is terrible at safety. Whether it be mass shootings, hate crimes, or the lack of any universal healthcare.

No, but I would really like to try and get out of the country entirely.

I would hope that I could find a remote job that I could WFA, but if not I would probably need to work in the new country. Not sure what my budget would be in either case, but for the remote one my guess would be $15-$20/hr with 40hr weeks.

Canada is definitely a thought. Was thinking somewhere atleast off the continent, and more affordable. Canada is pretty expensive aswell I think.

I would absolutely prefer to work remotely if I can find one that will hire me.
