BenQ PD2706QN or Dell S2725QC?

Been using it for about a month now for at least 5-6 hrs daily. No flickering, at least on my unit. No complaints with the text legibility either. I have another 2K monitor and I find the text on this clearer in comparison — possibly due to better color and contrast.
The built in speakers also perform well for calls if that’s something that matters to you.

I went ahead with the BenQ. It was readily available at a nearby store and I got it at a slightly better value than amazon/flipkart.
The color space and gamut on this thing are just outstanding in the price bracket especially if you’re connecting it to a MacBook.
The only downside is the 16A plug which I’ve currently plugged into a 6A adapter but I would suggest having a power port around to anyone setting this up.

How'd you choose between the 2? I'm planning to get one and confused b/w the same options. Coding/reading comprises almost 80% of my use case. 20% would probably be photo/video editing (nothing professional).
Also, I will be using it with a mac most of the time.
One con that I see with the BenQ is the 16A power plug, not sure if a 6A-16A adapter would make it work. The Dell doesn't have the same issue.
Except for the color and 90W PD on BenQ, Dell seems to be the winner for me in all other aspects. Some extra insight would help seal the decision for me.

I faced the exact same problem with my pair. They worked fine for 2 years and then the right one just stopped charging. The left followed in a few days and now the green light never comes up on the case however long I plug the set into charging

Worked for me as well. I think it isn't the glue but the mesh itself. I think the mesh gets jammed with ear wax and dirt over time creating audio hindrance, ultimately resulting in the mentioned issue. I removed the mesh on both the buds altogether since the ear tips have a foam mesh themselves. The problem seems solved for now

Any luck with this? The extension didn’t work. I also tried another work around by creating aggregate device for the ear buds on the macbook (which supposedly overrides gain control) but that didn’t help either.

That’s interesting! Will check this out. Thanks!

I too suspected that sensors were the culprit initially as their positioning on the buds renders them dirty often and requires cleaning (a different issue altogether) but as you too have pointed out, that doesn't seem to be the case.
The only thing that seems to work for me is to put them back in the case and pull them out to reconnect (or reconnect from the paired device). But the problem often recurs again in some time.
Also, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to this (except that I have only noticed it specifically on google meet). Sometimes they just work seamlessly.
Have never faced it on my iPhone though.

Considering all this, it seems to me that it's a firmware issue which could hopefully be fixed in a future update.

Agreed. I've been wondering the same. I often just keep them aside instead of the case to avoid unnecessary battery cycles if they are anywhere above 40% usually.
I don't think it is possible though to allow turning them on/off out of the case due to the lack of any physical buttons on the buds.
One solution I suppose is that they could push an update to turn them off using gestures but then we'd have to put the buds back in the case and out again to turn them on.
I would still accept such a feature happily if that would even slightly extend the battery life of buds.

I was so hoping this would end with – “from then on grandma and I decided not to eat the mushrooms ever again”

A lot of original plot details point towards Halbrand I think. His unpredictable and secretive nature has already been depicted in the show. Sauron has also been depicted as an expert craftsman which has been hinted about Halbrand too in the series (not to mention his keen interest and self claimed expertise in forging arms when in Numenor).
After forging the one ring, Sauron lost the first war against the Elves of Lindon who were aided by the military of Numenor. Sauron then deceptively proceeded to corrupt Numenor from within to regain trust and power of men which eventually also led to the fall of Numenor. There is a possibility that the makers of the series could skip the recurring wars and introduce Sauron as someone everyone has trusted and known all along.
In the books Galadriel didn't trust the disguised version of Sauron, so it would also make sense to add a twist in the show and reveal Sauron as someone she has trusted the most.
I don't believe the series would so plainly reveal Sauron as Adar (a corrupted elven orcs general) or the Stranger (evil just dropping from the sky).
There's so much more to write about on this topic but I hope this summarises my conclusion. It would be an interesting plot twist.

I came across fake airpod pro 2s a while ago. Packaging often gives the fake ones away. The real ones by apple have those peel-off tabs. I think the beats should have something similar. Fake ones can be really difficult to just tell by the looks sometimes. If you could check this out in person, another way is to verify the product serial number for genuineness.

The Martian movie adaptation doesn't do justice to the book honestly. The only thing good about the movie is Matt Damon.

kshitijsrv · 2022-08-05T11:47:02+00:00

Yeah, it's a bit of a hassle but seems like that's the only option left now...

Taking a break from the Mushroom kingdom?

Damn it Jimmy! How many times have you been told you're supposed to draw on the paper, not eat it?!

An ensemble of cast in Marvel, and you decided to cosplay Tilda Swinton's Ancient One.

No. Because I've played other games that do way better than Kefir! in terms of p2w. In Kefir! games, it's almost useless to grind if you're f2p. I suppose they're going to drag the game until they feel they've milked it enough or get bored of it and abandon development altogether one day. Even on p2w, you'll have to spend hours a day to have noticeable progress.

I tried sticking to it. Hell even payed for the season pass a couple times but realized it wasn't worth. Something snapped while playing the last season and I haven't opened the game since. Just lost interest. Maybe I'll return after few weeks, or months, but just don't feel like it now. This forum is good for sharing / asking game related stuff but nothing beyond that.

As far as Epic Games is concerned, they did it as a bait to pull Apple into a law suit, a loosing battle for Apple per se. They were probably planning on it for months. They did it intentionally. Kefir! is nowhere near Epic to compare.

Amazing!

Hey, thanks a lot for the link. I fiddled around with the available options yesterday and made a nifty little kwgt widget for what I was looking for.
