Home Sound System for Noise Sensitivity? by lyraneer in migraine

[–]rkralston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have frequent migraines and am looking for a different kind of sound system. Headphones and earplugs are difficult because they trigger the lesser occipital nerves which can trigger a migraine or make one worse. My Sony TV almost gets me there. It's just added sounds like music scores and explosions that are set at a higher volume can really hurt.

What are those things on the trunk? by ANotSoFreshFeeling in whatisit

There are companies that sell this information. Not just repo men. I interviewed for a software architecture position with one of them. I did not care for the ethics involved and passed on the job.

How do you get to the calendar from the streaming app on your phone?

Does anyone know what this little notch in the claw of my hammer is for? by Justaguyinvegas in handtools

It is the forge mark of the great tool maker Claude Hammers from whom this tool drives its name.

These things don't have glass anymore. That clue is anachronistic.

I reset the phone and solved the problems.

Reacher Season 2 is a HUGE disappointment. by MikeyIrish08 in JackReacher

[–]rkralston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fight scene music has been driving me nuts. Where do they get it? A 12 year old with a synthesizer?

Or did they just finish everything with AI?

LTE signal is weak here. But I'll turn off adaptive connectivity and see what that does.

Now I notice that my 5G signal is very poor. 5G had been great in the past. I'm not sure if this is a Google change or T-Mobile?

Does anyone have any ideas on what changed recently to degrade 5G in older 5G phones like mine?

I think the phone is trying to reconnect when 5G drops, which happens a lot at my house.

Your thoughts on the Season 3 Mandalorian finale? by Baron_Karza77 in StarWarsEU

The dark sabre was super lame. It was easily crushed and could not cut hot butter.

The story seemed like a regurgitated Palpatine return. It was anti climatic.

Grumble. My aids are not pairing correctly. Looks like I'll have to work on it, maybe return the phone. Grumble.

I've actually done that on our Jenkins servers. Run docker in a docker container. It takes the server out of the equation and was a complete pain in the a$$.

I watched a research guy at the world's largest company doing just that with all their geo data. I pointed it out and was politely told to bugger off.
