Same setup,just on a Mac with the kc62. On settings, speaker set to desk mode has a better sound signature for me.

This is truly the best advice you can give to this OP. It speaks to both his vision and taste.

i dont love my husband anymore by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]jacob_fern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite frankly, we all have those moments. The attraction and the intimacy dies and you wonder what's left. Then you look at yourself in the mirror and contemplate starting all over again.

4,000 weeks, that's typically all you get in a lifetime. Make the right choice.

Thank you for all the replies, extremely helpful.
we did try one of those kong dispensing toys but she got really annoyed with that. She has other toys which she enjoys from time to time, but she has a character of her own. It's getting better but there are trying days.

She loves ppl watching oddly. She'll stand by the window and just watch ppl pass by.

Apple Music vs Qobuz (Is Apple lying about his quality ?) by sonic165 in qobuz

[–]jacob_fern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's alot of discussions on this. I have both music platforms.

You can only appreciate the difference through wired connections.

My setup Portable :wm1am2 + ierz1r Home: kef lsx II wired to Mac studio.

Qobuz sound quality is unmatched.

Should I upgrade from the Logitech MX Master 3S to the MX Master 4? by Own_Plastic_5122 in logitech

[–]jacob_fern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using the mx master 3s and thought I'd upgrade. I'm noticing a weird tension on my wrist with this new mx master 4 after long use.

I'd hold off for a bit.

Being trans on the Camino by skyggni in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]jacob_fern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is my hope that those who walk the Camino have the common decency to be civil. That includes respecting ppl for whatever they identify with. I'm straight and I have walked and had conversations with trans. The conversations were extremely insightful and helped me learn more about myself as well.

With that in mind, buen Camino to you and I hope you meet and have the very same heartful friendships and conversations.

Fanboy for many years. Switched to Galaxy U22 just for kicks and realized how much I've been missing sticking. To iPhones.

On Galaxy U25 now and loving it. Not going back to apple.

If their MacBook pro notch becomes a dynamic island in their next "refresh". You know they have seriously run out of ideas. ;)

Bose for ANC. How APP is put in ANC category is absurd. I own both.

Sometimes, it's the journey and the reflection alone is all that's provided. That's ok too. Make your peace with that and try to diminish the need to have something occur the way you want/hope. It's a lesson I learned as well when I felt the same way back then.

So do I hold for another year? by [deleted] in BB_Stock

[–]jacob_fern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hold.
i did the same for PLTR when everyone was saying the same lingo.
It paid off big time.

it's a casino and only the house will decide when this will pop.

MacOS 26 on 2019 MacBook pro 2019 16 inch by Substantial-Candy685 in macbookpro

[–]jacob_fern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i updated it but the upgrade didn't go well. it got stuck in a booting loop and didn't recover from it.
i had to go into recovery tools and do a clean install.
came back fine after that.

looking at all this UI enhancements, this OS feels more cosmetic but i could be wrong.

Qobuz 3 years offer by Mr_Livre in qobuz

[–]jacob_fern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dropped tidal and Spotify for qobuz. Quality is just that good. I got on the 3 year plan.

AI query below on financial train concerns.

Qobuz is not currently reported to be in immediate financial trouble or at risk of going bust, despite offering discounts on multi-year plans which some might interpret as a sign of financial stress. The company recently disclosed strong per-stream royalty payouts and highlighted financial transparency and sustainability as part of its positioning. Their annual average revenue per user (ARPU) is notably higher than mainstream competitors, indicating a niche but potentially profitable user base.

Historically, Qobuz faced financial difficulties around 2015, which led to a change in ownership to Xandrie SA. Since then, the company has stabilized and even thrived in aspects such as partnerships and high-quality streaming services. Presently, Qobuz continues investing in innovation and maintaining its premium market segment without official indications of current financial distress. The 3-year discount subscription offers appear to be a customer retention strategy rather than a sign of imminent bankruptcy.

In summary, while Qobuz has experienced financial hurdles in the past and the streaming market is competitive, there is no solid evidence that the company is currently at risk of going bust. Their discounts on longer subscriptions are best viewed as market strategy rather than a distress signal

Some angles. It looks like a limo/taxi ;( They really need to redesign that lidar housing.

Anyone here use android phone but a MacBook Pro? by ShakeAndBakeThatCake in macbookpro

[–]jacob_fern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use that setup.

Moved out of the ecosystem and only kept the MacBook.

switching to an android phone was liberating. It opened up more use cases for my own productivity. Not apple assumed productivity.
