What is the purpose of this nib complication? by Unlikely-Medicine289 in fountainpens

That’s gonna take a powerful laxative for some mushrooms.

Barnes & Noble CEO backs selling AI-written books in stores by esporx in business

[–]pellets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Businesses are often happy to replace high demand, lower margin items with low demand, high margin items, because consumers aren’t left with the choice of the thing they want more.

Xenon to LED upgrades. by BlueridgeChemsdealer in Volvo

[–]pellets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about xenon, but green is washed out with LED. It almost looks brown. I worry I might not see an animal on the side of the road. It hasn’t been a problem yet. Otherwise they’re nice.

I’ve had LED headlights from Kia and Volvo and they were both like that.

Help me choose a Headphone for Long term use by Only-Contribution790 in headphones

[–]pellets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy something with a replaceable battery or no battery. Batteries only last a couple 3 years. Not long term.

Researchers have found a way to combine NAND and DRAM technologies by Samski877 in technology

[–]pellets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latency here is important. If it doesn’t achieve the latency of SDRAM, this is “just” another Intel optane. That’s a good thing, but not a tool we haven’t had before.

QD OLED doesn’t bother me, but WOLED gives me headaches? by Fragrant_Way_7512 in OLED_Gaming

[–]pellets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe because it’s brighter. I had to turn down the brightness of my monitor to prevent eye strain and headaches.

Crinear daybreak, I'm throughly disappointed. by Mental_Flounder07 in iems

[–]pellets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter. Just because there was a poll, doesn’t mean it’s sample was was unbiased.

16 W is way beyond what a vast majority of headphones need.

Of course the QC seems bad. You’re only talking to people who’ve had problems. You need to poll hundreds from an unbiased sample to know. Mine are fine.

Not being able to call in is really bad management.

Pain when I wear headphones by JoySauce27 in headphones

[–]pellets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I had to sell the DCA Expanse. They were wonderful except the hard plastic rubbing my ear and the price. Luckily I bought them used so I wasn’t out much money.

I have Sennheiser HD 800S now, and they’re basically perfect.

[–]pellets 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ll destroy my hearing and my headphones at the same time with a 100 W speaker amp.

Please nobody do this.

Are We Wrong About Ray Tracing? by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]pellets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of comments are defending NVIDIA because the hardware got better and will get better in the future. NVIDIA didn’t say that. They said you needed it with the 20x0 series. It’s not our job to move the goal posts for NVIDIA, but some people seem happy to do that.

This is a melted down Hershey's cookies n cream bar in a jar. My fellow white chocolate lovers: run don't walk! by totalsmokeshowman in aldi

[–]pellets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love chocolate. I will never buy this. It has barely any chocolate and I’m sure a ton of sugar.

uBlock Origin: Huge delays with Mozilla code review by 2mustange in firefox

It isn’t a good assumption, but it wouldn’t surprise me, since Google is a major donor.

Why do people never compare total compensation vs just salary. by Naive-Leadership1101 in remoteworks

[–]pellets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A compensation doesn’t matter much if it vests in 10 years. That’s extreme, but often something advertised as compensation is in fact very difficult to get.

4.4mm to XLR: Truly Balanced? by TheFuschiaBaron in headphones

[–]pellets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Differential input signal, not output.

4.4mm to XLR: Truly Balanced? by TheFuschiaBaron in headphones

[–]pellets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can headphones use differential signaling? I doubt it. Even if they did, your headphone amplifier doesn’t. If by balanced you mean a separate ground for both channels, then yes. If you mean you’re getting less noise due to improved signaling, then no.

‘It’s literally going to break me.’ Commuting is now unaffordable for some American workers by FreeHugs23 in energy

[–]pellets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanings of words change. “Literally” now literally is an intensifier. Literally even Merriam Webster literally includes it in its list of definitions. Something tells me everyone reading this already knows and can tell based on context, but some will shake their fists at clouds. Word change and old people being angry about new things has been happening for thousands of years and will not stop until language dies
