So umm... Could you technically pirate these updates? Someone could just nab the installer files and share them publicly. I find it hard to imagine that Microsoft built countermeasures for OS update-piracy.

No no, Monster blade is a popular pokemon ripoff.

There is a future where google buys it and adds a chat to it.

Are you trying to gather a lynch mob here? I think posts like these are quite bad taste. Most wont have a good understanding of the situation.

Does this really fit this community?

That is actually how the Xbox user interface started to look like after a while. It went from "what you probably want functions" to 80% ad, whitespace and "suggestions" with a Play the game somewhere in there.

Since the OP is asking for headphones and hates earbuds, i'd guess that you are suggesting the over-ear WH series.

I tried running with them, the problem didn't even get to the sweat part. It's horrible to run with the sealed cans doing a "toilet plunger" like motion when your head bobs up and down. It literally pumps pressure your ears on every step. It's one of those "never again" -experiences. (EDIT: it's fine on elliptical machines though, it's what i use indoors.)

What i have used for running though is the Koss portapro. It's good if there's not lot of environmental noises. Like if you're not running right next to a busy road. The wire is also a problem, thus i personally modded mine with a bluetooth receiver.

Umm. It sounds more like that you are just trying out new things and genres and finding that it's not always a hit with you. That's healthy.

I just started OOT a couple of days ago for the first time. After setting it to run 60fps and dual analog, it feels perfect. A fun adventure where every secret isn't so obvious and leaves room for imagination. The game suprises you often. I even like how it looks after disabling the texture filters.

The fire sound of the torches are killing me though. The PC port has a sound switcher but i can't find this annoying ear-tearing noise from it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW6uTdDx7s8

Plan is to try Majora next. I'm probably going to hate it like you as i don't really enjoy time-loop games.

I think that it notified all of my contact list when i tried posting a story. Not doing that again. Removed it in shame.

Bip here. Bought 2018. Have been charging it literally only once a month.

It relieved me from the battery anxiety of my previous sony smartwatch that ran the full googles smartwatch OS. That thing lasted usually a day. Less if i did anything meaningful on it. It made me seriously think if it needed a watch that would do everything, but ended up doing nothing anyway because of the battery life.

I love the gestures themselves. I hate that they "try" to follow device orientation.

It's a guesswork if the screen is rotated or if the media itself is just so. Also i've had multiple cases where the gesturebar is on the portrait bottom but the gestures are on the landscape.

Oneplus did it correct when they had their own gestures. The gestures were always on the same spot regardless of the device orientation. You always knew where they were. Also i think they worked in fullscreen apps without first swiping the gesture bar out.

edit: just wanted to add that i'm on android 12, i don't know if they are less finicky now.

 

I love seeing these. Honest reactions of normal people with untrained ears.

Hd800s was priceless.

 

Outoftheloop? Quacker and fritter are twitter clients with no sign-in.

I had no idea that fritter dev wasn't going to implement the timeline back again. I was reading the Issues posts and noticed that they recommend that you try quacker, a fork which took upon the quest to fix it.

It's currently only on the Izzyondroid -repo. Though, it failed to install on me, so i got the direct download from github.

Hey, it's not a headphones sub if there's no Koss-post. And since it's the brand that brought the first stereo headphones to the world. Why not start with that.

These are mine, had several. Usually broke the cable, sometimes used the life-long warranty to get free parts.

As i got more interested in headphones, the portapro wasn't quite good enough for in-door listening as it used to be. So i made "wireless" mod so i could have something decent while running.

They are perfect, the tuning actually works better outside.

  • The mod was "designed" so that nothing was broken to archieve it. The cable is intact.

  • The BT-adapter is switchable, i have another one for instant full battery.

  • Adapter is in a weird angle to keep the if off my head. Found out fast how the head blocks signal and in wide spaces the audio would hiccup.

  • Headband has an adjustable locking mod, keeps from eating hairs.

 

I was testing if i could check on older threads on reddit through google-cache, while my DNS is blocking reddit.com completely.

What i noticed is that google has been caching the new version of reddit and it behaves really badly on the cached version. Wayback machine is also as bad.

I installed the Web archives addon for firefox and tried the bing version, it was near perfect.
