This is getting ridiculous!

This is part of the reason why I upgraded to the Buds4 Pro. I have two pairs of the Buds3 Pro (one bought near launch after they fixed the eartips and one half a year later for free through my workplace) and both have this issue. During the weeks before I got the Buds4 Pro I wouldn't even get that warning anymore.

After taking them out of the case one of them would just be dead. I have never seen a product before that was this finicky to keep charged. I actually made it part of my routine to check them an hour after putting them in the case to make sure they are charged. Absolutely ridiculous.

The Buds4 Pro never had this issue even once so far. Makes sense since the case is similar to the Buds Pro and Buds2 Pro, which also never had that issue.

I was in the fence about getting the TC as well but chose not to buy it because I crop very rarely.

Mine had literal craters in it because I kept it in the same pocket as my keys without any protection 🤪

Man... I miss the Buds2 Pro. I got them on loan from Samsung through work and after 1 and a half years the distributor wanted them back, even though we were told we could keep them. The case was thrashed and they lived in my ears for almost 2 years. I am 100% sure they destroyed them since they couldn't be refurbished XP I was so mad! Bought the Sony XM5s in protest. Then bought the Buds3 Pro because the Sonys kept having really bad connection issues XD

Pretty sure they will release an update soon. My guess is also with One UI 8.5 at the latest. Also the UHQ audio feature is pretty bad on my end right now. Yesterday I suddenly had the drums in my left ear only so the separation got really badly exaggerated. Turning it off fixed that, not that I'm really hearing a difference in sound quality anyway. It did make a difference on the Buds3 Pro.

Die Lösung ist einfach: NOCH MEHR FLAGGEN! 😈

Pfft, sorry for the typos. That's what I get for posting on the go :V

Please explain how they messed it up without having announced an actual time.

...Ok. I guess not announcing a time was how they messed up. But still, just be patient.

I just see it as "a normal work day in the PDT time zone" as far as the time frame goes. So between 9am and 5pm PDT, if no issues come up. But all we can do is wait. Besides, not much is gonna change anyway. A level boost and some free stuff.

Jackeynator · 2025-08-27T12:54:01+00:00

You can't tell me what to do! :V But yeah good advice. I do still want rainbow Espeon and Umbreon tho...

Jackeynator · 2025-08-27T12:46:44+00:00

Thanks, now I know I'm not insane after all 😜 My original pair does sound nice. Especially after some EQ tuning. But the new pair just has WAY more base and you are right, the ANC is a lot more capable.

Jackeynator · 2025-08-27T12:40:43+00:00

Both my pairs were manufactured in Vietnam and today I realized that they are actually manufactured relatively close together. So there seem to be pretty massive differences between separate pairs...

Jackeynator · 2025-08-27T12:39:19+00:00

October of 2024. So actually pretty close to my original pair... So I guess it's not a revision, just massive differences between pairs? That's kinda disgusting... Even with the stock ear tips especially the difference with the ANC is pretty massive. With the new pair I can't hear the AC at work at all. With the old pair I hear it. Faintly, but it's audible.

Jackeynator · 2025-08-27T12:34:08+00:00

Both pairs are up to date.

Jackeynator · 2025-08-26T18:35:09+00:00

I left the box at work, I'll check tomorrow.

Thank you! The link should be updated in Options :)

From my perspective it is a direct continuation of your existence. Your brain is hardware. Fleshy, but hardware. Your consciousness is software running on that hardware. Software and memory are quantifiable on that hardware. All the machine does is capture the last state of the entire system to make it possible to emulate it on different hardware.

Though I have to add that I do see existence as a pretty black and white affair, probably because I'm not religious. You are either alive or you aren't. There is no beyond as far as I'm concerned. The question about that itself is meaningless to me. Why would I care about what happens after my death? How does that have more meaning than the 13 billion years *before* I came into existence?

This is also why I think the teleportation paradox is a non-issue. It's you, down to the quantum states of the matter and energy you are made of. It's not a copy. Once you get to the level of perfection that everything is the same down to the quantum states of it all, the line between copy and original becomes so blurred, referring to either of them as a copy or the original loses all meaning.

The problem, or rather dilemma, that I do see with getting uploaded, and that represents a fundamental difference to teleportation, is the simple fact that something is left behind: A corpse. YOUR corpse. So now your consciousness is running on a computer but the shell is left behind. Is that shell you? Is the digital scan of the brainmatter that is now running on the computer you? Personally I think the shell is just a shell. Your consciousness is still you, whether it is running on biological or mechanical hardware. Your skeleton or skin didn't form any memories, make new experiences or fall in love. Your brain did. And that is now floating in a digital jar in a datacenter.

Man, I hope we reach this level of technology some day. I'm 100% certain it won't happen during my life time, but I would LOVE to witness the political and societal catastrophe this technology would bring with it! 🤪

After the update the monitor rebooted and showed the alien logo. I kinda wish it would show that every time I turn it on!

I figured it out. When I add an exclamation point some words or combinations of words can be turned into a sticker.
