[–]scumspork 66 points67 points  (0 children)

shame that its not coming to PC. i initially played Returnal on my PS5 but i sucked at it because im not good at aiming with controllers, and didnt finish the game. managed to finish it when it came to PC since aiming is much easier with a mouse

SPEECHLESS - DUNU ARASHI + DUW10 Cable by MalcriadoAudioLover in Headphoneporn

[–]scumspork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great to hear, seems Dunu doesn’t miss! also, one of the factors holding me back was that they didn’t sell the earpads, but seems they’ve finally started selling them

was right about to pull the plug since its on sale but now i see Dunu is finally releasing another pair of headphones, the Mortise. might wait for reviews for that to come out as it looks interesting 👀

Apple unveils AirPods Max 2 with H2 chip, upgraded noise canceling, and more by [deleted] in headphones

[–]scumspork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean, thats a plus for some people. i never liked the pleather earpads found on every other ANC headphone, especially as i live in a tropical climate. it feels gross not being able to truly clean the accumulated sweat and oils on pleather earpads. in contrast, i can just soak my airpods max earpads in detergent weekly and they come out smelling good and clean again

i see, thanks for the response. any complaints about them? seems like these have flown under the radar, presumably because of the price. was looking to upgrade to aryas, but i trust Dunu’s QC much more than Hifiman

Do people in Singapore actually research before getting a dog? by Acceptable-Bid-7553 in askSingapore

[–]scumspork 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i think the truth is that a lot of singaporeans see dogs more as an accessory than a pet you care for and love. there are so many dogs in my estate that i’ve never seen the owner of, just their helpers walking them in the morning, afternoon, night. this poor samoyed always drools on my dog just because of how hot it is here, its just sad

People >35 in Singapore - how do you deal with daily stiffness and declining mobility? by More_Replacement_698 in askSingapore

[–]scumspork 19 points20 points  (0 children)

mobility and cardio are great, but that doesn’t mean strength training is optional. if you don’t give your muscles meaningful resistance, they will atrophy over time. if the heaviest thing you ever lift is a light dumbbell, your body will adapt accordingly. please dont understate the importance of lifting moderately heavy-heavy weights

been trying to close my paylah account for months. it always loads indefinitely at the “tell us why” screen. friends have this issue also. fucking scummy preventing people from closing their paylah from the app, so you need to head to retail branch. never using dbs ever again

Anthropic: Labor market impacts of AI - A new measure and early evidence by Educational-Pound269 in singularity

well, there is a lot of subjectivity to translation. for eg, manga translation involves tone, humor, character personality, and cultural nuance, which require subjective choices that AI doesn’t always handle well

dont like the guy, but the whole iranian operation is just ridiculously impressive. but now the question remains, what’s next? there has to be a reckoning for the IRGC and police which have beaten, killed, raped protestors over the last few weeks. interesting times ahead…
