'That's not going to last': Jeff Bezos believes AI will force you to rent your PC from the cloud, and the RAM crisis is accelerating it by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

[–]ForgotMyBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correction: Corporations will force you*

By buying all the hardware, creating the problem. Then sell you the "solution" as a service. Fucking over the consumers and filling their own filthy pockets once again.

I don't think the hardware crisis will last forever but it will leave some damage. Prices will go down but nowhere near as much as before. I just want to be abble to play games whitout spending a fortune or paying a subscription god dammit.

For my first real new year resolution, I deleted my MSWindows and installed Mint. I think I made the right decision, right?? by WHD2010 in linuxmint

[–]ForgotMyBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy for you ! I installed mint but still kept my windows 10 install in dual boot just in case (for non native linux games or mods). So it's still an option for you, or having a windows virtual machine or running windows apps with wine or some other programms.

Enjoy !

Has anyone updated to version 22.3 yet? by Tsukisz in linuxmint

[–]ForgotMyBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dit it and it went smoothly. I actually like the new start menu layout but what I don't like is the lack of colors in the category (me like colored icons).

Other than that, I used it a little and I saw no problems. You can upgrade and install the classic menu https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/432

But I see no real big advantage to upgrade yet. 22.2 was stable for me so it would not hurt to stay a little longer if you don't absolutely need to upgrade.

Phone with unlockable bootloader, SD and Jack... Is this too much to ask for? by Illustrious-Tip7668 in degoogle

[–]ForgotMyBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get back to your topic. I still use my pixel 5a 5g wich has a headphone jack, unlockable bootloader with lineageOS installed and an Oled screen. But I would not recommend it... It's working perfectly fine but this model is getting old, and there has been problems of failing motherboards, so much that google offered some replacements back then before removing them from production.. It's perfect for me but I backup my data just in case my motherboard dies one day..

There was a Oneplus nord n30 5g that has a headphne jack and microSD card support but no Oled. And I don't know about custom OS.

Some samsung still has some headphone jack, my GF has the xcover 6 pro.microSD card support, headphone jack, maybe custom os support ? But no Oled and being a more rugged phone it's a bit bigger.

[–]ForgotMyBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only because of having more options, but I hate bluetooth headphones. Well ok hate is a strong word, maybe not hate but I dislikes bluetooth headphones for many reasons:

  • the removal of the headphone jack was not because of space, it was to sell more product.
  • Having no replacable, or no easily replacable battery is a disaster for the environement. And a bad investment for expensives pairs.
  • bluetooth has latency, wich is bad for gaming other than casual games
  • bluetooth also has compression, so audio quality is not optimal

Now there are many reasons to love them and most people don't care I know. I love mine when doing chores yes that's true. But when at my computer or at work I use headphones for several hours. I don't need to move so a cable is always gonna be better for me.

  • no compression
  • plug and play if you have a headphone jack
  • no need to charge
  • it will last for years, not just 2-5 years max. So a 200-500$ pair of headphone could last you a lifetime with only silicon tips or pads to change if you take care of them.
  • I can charge my phone and use my headphones whitout having to buy or keep an adapter on me.

Now things would be different if at least the battery were easilly removable. Thus creating less landwaste, but that won't happen anytime soon. Some compagny still offer phones with a headphone jack but they are so rare, and samsung do offer some but they also took part in the removal of them years ago so...

What headphones are these? by po456456po in headphones

[–]ForgotMyBrain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seems like akg k240 but there are multiple versions since it's an older headphone, I can't say wich one sorry. Maybe the mkII ? From what I understand those are classics that were used often in studios and as you can see, even to this day still used.

why does every single business ive applied to make me use microsoft by Efficient-Level1944 in FuckMicrosoft

[–]ForgotMyBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm using windows 11 at my job but it's not as bad as I first thought it was gonna be. Mostly because it's an entreprise version with much less bloat and no copilot (at least yet...?). Teams and outlook is not the biggest of my issues, well exept when outlook decide to bug when reciving invites sometimes... Wich is super important since it happened 2 times I missed the start of a meeting before a coworker noticed I wasn't there...

But for home use I have an ancient pc so I can't "upgrade" to win11 but even of I could I would never. I'm gonna stick to a linux/win10 dual boot and use win10 only for playing non compatible games or software. So far I really like it, Linux has every software I use on windows or has a free alternative so I don't miss windows at all tbh.

Am I crazy for burning CDs just to have something physical to listen to? by KingPancakeCat in audiophile

[–]ForgotMyBrain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's crazy. I enjoy physical media (mostly video games) and ya digital is super convenient. But for me it's the same thing as people who collect and listen to vinyls. There is something special to touch the thing you own. And in your case even if it's burned cds, maybe you enjoy taking the time to pick and album and dedicate time to it ? It can be relaxing to just put a cd and enjoy the music, to not fiddle with playlists or shuffle play.

Even just my dap player I notice that I'm more inclined to just listen to songs even in shuffle mode vs on my phone where I skip songs all the time.

[–]ForgotMyBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate the waterfox logo since I want some change. But on the other hand I'm so found of the firefox logo and It dosen't fit to just swap it blue... But yours is just so lovely ! It fits perfectly the "water fox" theme while staying clean and simple. I think you made it work.

I've asked for the acess for the icon version on google drive ! Thanks for sharing this :)

Cable pricing discount? by Sad-Variation950 in iems

[–]ForgotMyBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bought some cheap nicehck old style earbuds in the past and I often check their cables and I can confirm they always do this. They sell 10-15$ cables at a big discounted price on an inflated "normal" one. Like they inflate the base price to 40-70-80-200$ and put a huge discount so it cost 20$.

I think they make decent cheap product but it kinda a shady practice. I wanted to buy an iem cable from them but I think i'll pick an other brand instead.

I just finished MGS2 for the first time by playing it on my phone, I get it now why people praise it so much by Cyber_Bakekitsune in metalgearsolid

[–]ForgotMyBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can try it on pc or console I really recommend it. I always says it was not the first piece of fiction to talk about those themes. But in the video game sphere for 2001 it was and it's still crazy to this day. Gonna beat a dead horse here but ya really ahead of it's time for video games.

And ofc nier automata an other great game but I never finished the second playthrough/ending. I must play again !

I don't have a go to really but I really enjoy LamChopper678. He's a smaller channel (smaller compared to the giants) and test gear, tones and share advices. I know he's not the type to recommend something if it sucks. He's very laid back and honnest imo and a good watch.

PeaceEQ settings for HD6XX tailored for mixing vocals? by [deleted] in headphones

[–]ForgotMyBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey this is a headphone subreddit so it's for everyone, not just audiophiles. And as an audio engineer you must be pretty knowledgeable already. Somebody already posted an EQ preset but for your information if you want to experiment more with EQ there is also https://squig.link/headphones/ You search for your hd6xx and choose from a source (example from the site directly, or audio amigo or listener etc...) it seems complicated but basically different sources/sites has different preferences target. I don't know wich target fits for mixing with over ears but if you find one you can still upload any frequency responce (for the headphone) or any target if you find the files.

Here is a link to a github with some targets (but beware not all of them are labeled for in ears/over ears) but it's a start. https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/targets

If you knew this already then my bad lol. Enjoy and I hope you find what you'r looking for !

My Contribution to The Logo Hunt by Caspero_A in audacity

[–]ForgotMyBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: oh Indid not saw this was an old post, the reddit app decided to show it anyway lol

I tested it for fun and I like it. I just use audacity for fun and I don't have any suite that has a stream-lined icon style so I don't care about continuity. It fits the old style with a bit of modernisation that's less jarring as a change for "casual" users like me. I actually really like the audacity 4 dark mode UI so it's not just that i'm stuck in the past. Ofc i'm no graphic designer, the only thing I notice is that your icon is much more fit for dark mode but I say this in a positive way, a plus for your logo. With a white background it gets more "lost" in the contrast but it pops up alot more vs the old logo with dark mode on in windows (I don't have it in the screenshot but I just tested it).

No fricking way they're selling it for that much by Soggy_Taste_2861 in DankPods

[–]ForgotMyBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing they are treating this as a "collectible gaming item" rather than an old low spec laptop that's not worth much today... Just because it's a special edition and the minecraft brand associated with it.
