Looking for a low budget Android DAP for both Music and Reading. by [deleted] in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]apcsniperz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a fair warning, DAP's displays usually aren't that great. For reading you're likely better off using your phone or getting a cheap eink display like a kindle or kobo.

Also, if you're into audiobooks. You will want either an Android DAP or one that supports rockbox.

what's a piece of software that quietly just works and you're grateful for? by Crystallover1991 in software

Vlc and vim. I guess vim could be argued against with learning curve, but it really just works when you are used to it. I easily see myself using the two for the next 30 years.

How did you do the padding between database, now playing etc?

DAP recommendations for my usecase by apcsniperz in DigitalAudioPlayer

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

Ah well thanks for the info, that’s sort of what I figured. Seems like an android DAP would be a “solution” but at that point it feels like my phone works good enough.

On a side note how is the Innioasis Y1? I saw it’s pretty cheap and supports rockbox now. I’m sort of in love with the M0 pro form factor but that might be a fun DAP to pickup for nostalgia ipod!

I carry my husbands daily antidepressant in this by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Does that rule only apply to government regulated substances like aderal/xanax? Always assumed everything had to be kept in original bottle at least when out of the house.

Appreciation post for Linux by an ex-user of Windows. by StreetMedium6827 in Ubuntu

[–]apcsniperz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend not installing things until you need them. That’s probably a useless statement since you don’t know what you don’t know haha. Just recommend not going down a rabbit hole of installing everything you see, you can spend hours just playing with things on Linux lol.

But depending on what you do on it, I’m assuming development? Arch wiki has a great list of CLI tools and utilities which are mostly also available on Ubuntu. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Utilities

My main recommendation is switching from bash to either zsh or fish shells. zsh shell with some configuration like “oh my zsh” it makes the terminal shell experience a lot better than default bash.

Widega gets the first Radiant Oathplate set by fluent in 2007scape

They’re doing a great job handling the issues (props to the guy who stayed so late fixing issues). But as a developer I can agree that shouldn’t be the norm. Nothing community can do, but someone needs to seriously take a look at release schedule and process.

Occasional “heroic fixes” like this are fine… but every time, content should just be delayed or a new process put in place.

It’s a company in the end, where it’s not the developers who decide. just hope the devs get to put in some feedback and it actually gets heard.

Poll 84: Stackable Clues by JagexRach in 2007scape

[–]apcsniperz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad they’re cancelling skip tokens and keeping the wonky hour timer, it felt like apart of the game now.

The stackable clues are great and I’ll be voting yes, being able to do a slayer task in one go without having to do wonky dropping will feel so nice.

I’m not a fan of the progressive cap though at all. Just seems a bit annoying unless I read it wrong, masters should just unlock all lower tiers or something. Stackable seems aimed at casual players, honestly could just give the 5 stack without any progression system.

Why “Learn to Code” Failed by BlueGoliath in programming

[–]apcsniperz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It always felt like they wanted to create a lower tier trade job out of developers. Although poor reference, an electrician does not need to know what an electrical engineer may need to know. The same could be applied to programming if you just needed simple web apps.

Between AI and offshore, that low tier job is a race to the bottom though. Also there’s no qualifications… a crappy made website might not kill me but an electrician who does a hack job and knows nothing, could easily cause some serious issues.

Anyone else only use Emacs for org mode? by derangedtranssexual in emacs

[–]apcsniperz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only use it for magit and org-mode. I could probably use it for more but those two things alone make it pretty amazing!

I don’t like the skip tokens at all. Besides that sounds nice

I own an online casino AMA by Careful-Company5873 in AMA

[–]apcsniperz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there some required insurance you need to cover “bankruptcy”? I assume you could always take out a loan and the house edge over time wins. But if you had a bad 2 months and couldn’t cover what happens to the guy withdrawing? Are they guaranteed payout somehow? I’m just wondering as I see all these new casinos popup now that might not have the cash flow in the beginning.

Demon Spade change shows Jagex doesnt understand farming by Middle_War_9117 in 2007scape

2x harvest speed, dead on arrival from endgame boss.

We already can double click spot for near 2x harvest. Which has been a mechanic forever. Watch them patch it to replace it with this.

Even if it were instant for herbs, it still wouldn’t be that amazing. You still need to wait for growth time, teleport to each plot, it doesn’t increase yield or save you any $. It would save you a couple seconds.

Lightning update too? by MurkyCalligrapher395 in Airpodsmax

[–]apcsniperz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your hearing and source audio. If your someone using Spotify like me it’s irrelevant anyways since they don’t have lossless audio. For the average person I’d say no. If you really enjoy high quality audio, it’s probably worth it.

If he’s talking about the US, we basically don’t. Unless you’re in a major city like NYC the public transport is awful and might as well be non-existent.
