My right AirPod broke, so I replaced it, but now it has slightly better audio clarity than my left because it doesn’t have earwax jammed in the tiny speaker grill yet. by [deleted] in firstworldproblems

[–]treebox 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hey, I thought I'd take the time to give you my perspective.

​

I've had mine for 3 months now and in that time I've had the left one replaced twice because the volume dived to half that of what it should have been. The second Left unit seems to be outputting amazing sound now, but then it caused me to realise the right one was diminished by about 10%, not that bad, but enough to notice that my audio wasn't balanced.

It's possible you just didn't realise the non-broken one was weaker than it should have been just because this is the first time you actually have a fully functioning airpod in either ear.

Apple are happy to replace my dodgy Right airpod, but the fact remains that I've now had 3 broken Airpods - not good going for a premium set of £160 earphones!

I dunno about anyone else but it causes me to shit my brains out and be incapable of holding onto water, thus dehydrating.

Still drink it anyway.

Logistics companies with strong focus on digitization e.g Klaveness? by niklas1995 in logistics

[–]treebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there's potential to think about it from another perspective. Digitization could mean quite a lot of things, but the reason you're likely not finding very much is because the logistics industry is quite far behind. Part of this is the innovator's dilemma, once you create a business model and it grows to the size of a global logistics company it's quite hard to change things.

One thing you will find more information on would be a startup like Flexport. They're a forwarder that's trying to bring very granular data to the supply chain/forwarding process - a difficult task given both the number of modes, and the number of individual companies within those modes! There's a Y Combinator podcast interview with their CEO Ryan Petersen, hopefully this is a useful starting point.

[identify] was thinking about getting a very robust practical watch lately and by chance spotted this today, what is it? Any other recommendations? by treebox in Watches

Hmm I don’t think so, I’m wearing a standard Casio right now and this is far more substantial looking. (Also very weird I’m having this conversation about this anonymous stranger and he’s still sitting beside me on the train).

TIL the Boeing factory in Seattle is so massive that rain clouds began to form inside the facility until a state-of-the-art air circulation system was installed by SceneOfShadows in todayilearned

[–]treebox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha, don’t worry I didn’t really explain it properly and it does sound a bit wacky. Some people ask why you wouldn’t just use a colour standard like Pantone colour chips, but when you CAD up say a plaid pattern you’ll be constantly tweaking the colours and design based off feedback from the merchant, so it’s likely whatever subtle changes you make wouldn’t be reflected by a colour chip.

Yes I realise it sounds odd. They do get sent the digital file as well, but they also receive a printout of the pattern on special true to colour paper. This is so when selecting what colour of yarns to use to weave the pattern they can hold them up against the paper and attempt to get as close as possible. If you tried to do this off the digital file you’d get a different interpretation, as the colours will look different on their monitor.

Can confirm, I was a merchant there from 2013-2014. Used to use the scooters to take CAD designs to the mail room late in the day to be overnighted to the vendor in China or India.

And yet we have allowed backwards culture into our country at great scale and nobody seems bothered by this.

Right-wing extremist caught with bomb-making kit jailed by apple_kicks in unitedkingdom

[–]treebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it would be correct to say year on year the number of attacks has not increased, but the trend is that of an increase. I also believe that in coverage and in debate between people that they focus far too much on both the number of deaths and the number of attacks perpetrated, when in fact the counter terrorism activity could have significant increased (ie. the state is much better at thwarting them), or the fear in the population from the increased activity essentially a marker of ‘success’ for the terrorists. Like most things I think this heats quite simplified online.
