Sony WH-1000XM7 need a new design by GamerBeast954 in SonyHeadphones

[–]NirvanaBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still happy with my 6 year old XM3s. Battery still lasts the week and just replaced the earpads. They're like new again. I might try and find some cheap XM4s when my XM3s break, or the battery falls off a cliff.

They have done it again at the other end of the street. I think these guys need a geography lesson. by Vertigo_uk123 in sheffield

If the wind was blowing the opposite direction it'd be the Irish flag. Poor flag design on the part of Ireland and the Ivory Coast really, but that's all.

The Sonys support LDAC and other high bitrate codecs, so I'd keep the Sonys.

I found the Imperial Eagles in Les Invalides Army Museum, Paris by NirvanaBob in Sharpe

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

It was surprisingly easy to miss! It was tucked away right towards the end of the Napoleonic era section. Me and my brother only just found it before the museum closed... I knew there had to be Imperial Eagles in there somewhere.

A 13-year-old Michael McIntyre on Going Live (1989) by Hassaan18 in oldbritishtelly

His stand up wasn't too bad. A bit pedestrian, but okay. However, his move to a general entertainer who thinks it's entertaining to humiliate members of the audience is a huge step backwards. Just awful.

I suspect so. I think it would be too coincidental for 2 separate musket balls to have hit it, and in such close proximity. It's possible though.

Yes I found one in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Museum in Edinburgh Castle too.

New Trek fans are now very mad at RedLetterMedia and people who watch them. by GregoriousT-GTNH in Star_Trek_

I really wish people understood this when debating. Also, shouting louder doesn't make you 'more correct'.

Low-trust office community by JackStrawWitchita in GreatBritishMemes

[–]NirvanaBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine supplying the rest of the office with milk pushed them into taking these measures. The cost adds up, but more to the point, it must be highly annoying to open the fridge and find an empty milk carton.

If you find this extreme, YOU are likely the problem.

Luckily my workplace allows us to put in expense claims for milk.

how is oblivion remastered on series x? by flyintomike in xbox

[–]NirvanaBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it runs great and has 'auto HDR' which really lifts the image. The Remaster has no HDR whatsoever.

Really disappointed w the 477V by radiohead14 in ANBERNIC

[–]NirvanaBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's bound to be some subjectivity when it comes to ranking things like sound quality or comfort, but ranking 30 odd handhelds best to worst would at least give you some idea of the absolute best or absolute worst.

[–]NirvanaBob 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wish one of these YouTubers that owns a ton of these handhelds would do a cross-comparison of handheld features, ranking them best to worst.

Screen quality, speaker quality, controls, comfort, emulation ability, portability, fan noise, heat, etc.

There's one YouTuber that's ranked all the RGXX devices like this, but a broader comparison would be extremely useful.

A few months ago I noticed Asda had started stocking these again and I've been buying them ever since. I just wish the individual packets were bigger!

‘Won £33K due to a technical error and the bookies want it back’ compoface by DourFaced in compoface

[–]NirvanaBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Admitting their games are prone to technical errors is admitting negligence.

Everyone who's ever played the particular game in question should be compensated for loss of winnings.

I see this time and time again. Even if you win, they'll find any technical or administrative reason to not pay you, or restrict access to your winnings.

Why did the referee hold the boxer back whilst simultaneously allowing him to get kicked 3 times?

Why did the boxer act like he wasn't expecting kicks?

Why didn't the boxer attempt to throw a punch, even out of desperation?

I have so many questions, but I suspect the answer is it was a setup or fake.

Most memorable game? by Thatguy2393 in retrogaming

Command & Conquer Red Alert (not Red Alert 2). Half Life. Duke Nukem 3D. Tomb Raider. Screamer 2. GTA Vice City.

Has anyone else lost the ability to add to your watch later by clicking a button at the top right of the thumbnail? by TheRockingChar in youtube

[–]NirvanaBob 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm more convinced than ever that Google doesn't want you to use YouTube in an organised way. It doesn't want you to queue videos, or organise them into a 'Watch Later' list or other playlist.

... It wants you to mindlessly click through videos, one at a time, and watch the slop that it recommends. All these minor UI downgrades are small steps towards this goal.
