I bought an expensive pair of “nice” headphones for an office job, but didn’t end up using them much. So, I put them back in their storage case and forgot about them. Two(+) years later I needed some for a flight and went to find them, only to discover that the fake shitty pleather cushion bits were peeling and shedding all over creation, despite sitting undisturbed in their case for 99% of their existence!

In short, fuck those. Fuck them. Fuck every pair of over-the-ear headphones with their shitty fucking fakeass material that degrades under the pressure of existing! I’ll never buy another pair from any brand unless they solve this problem (that I’m convinced is planned obsolescence).

Probably, yes, but I still love you

I’m on vacation off the coast of Spain specifically for this! Excited!

I came across a similar sight once when I was at university. An old tenured professor had retired (or died) and they’d dumped his office in a bin like this. Was kinda sad to see. Especially the numerous phd thesis papers. I browsed a few. Many had been professionally bound and had sincere, handwritten inscriptions, thanking the professor for his guidance and advice, etc.

There was also hundreds of issues of a super old computing magazine that the guy had obviously subscribed to. I grabbed a couple for my coffee table cuz they’re retro and rad as hell. Someday I’ll take pics and post them to !computermag_covers@feddit.org

Good thing mine has been unplugged ever since I realized a docked steam deck paired with ps5 controllers was a way better experience than using the PS5 anyway

I wonder if that shooting in Austin was this…?

Love is love my friend. No borders.

This comment gave me flashbacks to when I tried to use a cheap external touchscreen monitor plugged into an old macbook pro with a singular usb-c cable. It “worked” but the ux was a disaster

Get a high vis jacket over a black polo shirt with an iron-on logo, a face mask, and sunglasses. Park out of sight or bike or walk up. You could probably swap most public hardware things with mesh node guts in broad daylight. Just sayin’. This is not advice.

Fabrige must be the knock-off Chinese version.

Look, it’s an expensive hobby. Don’t judge me for using knockoffs. Or do. That’s also one of my kinks.

I doubt it’s just Florida buddy

The phrasing for the 2008 frame isn’t right. Should be “Are you too good to flip burgers?” Or “Is flipping burgers not good enough for you?”

I have this running on a local server: https://github.com/alexta69/metube

It’s a frontend for yt-dlp and whenever I want to watch something I just download it and have a copy saved locally. It makes it harder to binge youtube feeds that the algorithm tries to shove down my throat, and that’s a good thing.

Even if they can afford to pay them, why would anyone want to? What would our president do? Why should anyone give a shit about doing the “right” thing when the people running our society, government, and financial institutions are raping and pillaging the decades of stability and good will that was guiding the decision to get those loans in the first place??

I’m not saying this isn’t true, but the original source on this, a blog-masquerading-as-news called currentrevolt(dot com), is a straight dumpster fire of awful opinions and shitty takes. So, take this “reporting” with a heap of salt.

Next up, zeros and/or ones

I don’t normally celebrate death, but I can make an exception here and there

Ooh with Kennedy at the helm, I bet we “solve” health next! Excited to receive my cocaine Rx to cure the ghosts in my blood.
