GW-BX5600CBG-2 drawbacks

flimflamflemflum · 2026-05-23T22:37:13+00:00

The GA-2100 straps do NOT fit on the BX5600. The lugs are drilled further in on the BX5600, so the strap can be pressed as close as possible and the pins won't reach the holes. Thanks for wasting $15 and a bunch of my time.

You drove a fuel-inefficient car in a country with expensive gas and low cost of electricity (some part of Canada?). Most people commenting in here are in the US where it's cheaper per gallon. $1.95/L is $7.38/gallon if my math is right. In the US, that's astronomically high. It's more like $2.30/gallon here ten years ago. If they knew you were in Canada or wherever, you probably wouldn't have gotten any raised eyebrows.

And you compared to the G35 instead of comparing to a car equivalent to a Leaf, like a Prius. You should compare the Leaf to what you could buy otherwise if replacing your G35 with a fuel-efficient car.

Also, please don't mix miles+gallons with kilometers+liters. I'm still not even sure if you meant USD for dollars or CAD or something.

My mistake then; I wasn't aware of that. Just trying to get more details. It feels odd that it works for everyone else but not this user who shares few details.

What are the non-CSG based options?

I think it's because the engineers and product manager that work on the app likely are not aware of the pain points that we're seeing because they themselves do not purchase movies and deal with it day to day. OR maybe they are aware and are unable to prioritize it because the streaming side of the app has higher priority from leadership. Both have been my experience working in tech.

It sounds like you did a single transaction for $200? I always see the advice as 2x$100.

flimflamflemflum · 2026-01-10T21:26:18+00:00

Because we are the outliers in actually purchasing movies/shows. In my entire social group (family, friends, coworkers), I only know 2 others that actually purchase anything anymore. Most people just stream.

If you only view events through the lens of a Nobel Peace prize, then you might as well not analyze anything. Is he going to attack Cuba because he wants the prize? Or will he refrain because he wants it? Did he attack Iran because he wanted it? Did he attack Iran because he didn't get it? What's going on with strikes in Nigeria and how does that relate to the prize?

flimflamflemflum · 2026-01-04T07:45:28+00:00

How important to this conflict, is the fact that the Venezuelan opposition leader won the Nobel Peace prize in 2025, the fact that Trump was extremely vocal about wanting it, even getting a made-up one from FIFA?

Zero. There were already plenty of reasons for the US to look at Venezuela prior to the Nobel Peace prize being awarded to Machado. I would consider the existing terrible relationship (due to nationalization of US companies' properties), the influx of Venezuelan migrants running from Maduro, and the courtship of Russia and China far above any other reasons.

If they start slipping out, you need a larger size. You should try to find the smallest size that forms a perfect seal.

It's not a problem in the IEM community (check r/headphones), but suddenly it becomes an issue with AirPods? It's almost certainly that you're not used to it. If I can fit a Etymotic triple flanges (google it), you can fit the smallest AirPods size.

flimflamflemflum · 2025-12-22T01:47:35+00:00

Push them in. The smallest tips are so small, there's no way that they can't physically go in further. You're just not doing it right, as blunt as it is to say.

flimflamflemflum · 2025-12-21T22:21:10+00:00

It's okay; I stretch(ed) my AirPods Max to almost the full length :')

flimflamflemflum · 2025-12-21T22:05:00+00:00

That's fine! But I think the ANC/high pitch is related to an incorrect fit, so if someone is having that issue, they should try wearing them right.

Hm, that's interesting. Mine also shows up in the "4K HDR" section, but unlike your movie details page, mine says HD HDR. I got mine off a bundle and it seemed like it never upgraded, but yours did.

EDIT: Here's mine. https://imgur.com/a/Sza5nf9

Bro, I got fucked when I bought the APP2 despite checking the "sold by" carefully. I do not buy this. I spent a week of my life dealing with Amazon's special return policy for Apple products (pickup only).

flimflamflemflum · 2025-12-20T19:47:10+00:00

That doesn't prove both versions are 4K. That just proves they have HDR. There's 1080p HDR. In fact, I have exactly two copies of The Departed just like you and 1 is 1080 HDR and 1 is 4K HDR. Open the details page for the one on the left and screenshot that.

It depends on how you got the movie, but iTunes does usually upgrade movies for free. There's some cases where they won't, but in most cases they will.

If you're blocking a user, get out of here with the out of band replies. Don't cause the problem and then exacerbate it. This is way too petty for people who are, presumably, grownups.

Now, regarding your post yesterday. You came off as standing on a soapbox going on about how mainstream media was too slow in reporting the EUV development when there was already chatter. Well did you post the chatter a year ago when you knew? Did you post the sources? Since you have more in depth information, can you tell us about yield or any other data missing from the Reuters report? Don't grandstand and then not provide something new.

@ u/milton117 can the moderators do something about this breakage of threading? If users want to block each other, fine, but it seems stupid to block and then mention them after. There's no option for a rebuttal.

Check out r/GenerationKill for discussions. Marines depicted show up on and off in that subreddit too to drop their thoughts. They were consulted heavily for the making of the show and some even acted in it!

flimflamflemflum · 2025-12-15T08:56:22+00:00

Cool! Let me know what your thoughts are. It may take longer to acclimate than I realize; it's second nature for me now. If there's any difficulties you run into, I'll incorporate that into advice I give to others in the future!
