I mean, it might be useful for comparing headphones while using headphones within a similar range, not much else. The car systems, home speakers, surround speakers etc. Not so much. So most of the company's inventory based on my browse

How can a set of headphones replicate the experience of hearing and feeling sound through a set of speakers? Sitting in front of a set of speakers is a totally different experience than wearing headphones. With a decent set of speakers, you

Why would you return to a restaurant where the service was so poor you didn't feel like leaving a tip? I've not left a tip a handful of times over some exceptionally bad service and food and never felt the desire to return to thos

Science is highly politicized still. It's part of why I stopped doing that kind of work. Everything through the grant applications, working with different industries and government groups, presenting our results. Everything ended up be

That sounds like it would work well if you owned a set of studio monitors or headphones with a flat response. Otherwise, it's still not really going to be the same as listening to the speakers or headphones themselves. Whatever headpho

Well, I can honestly say in the all the years I've been using linux i've never had to do that. I never said edge cases don't exist, just that they're less frequent.

The thing is, in those ten years the hump's slowly been getting smaller and smaller, every time I reinstall or upgrade there's less and less work to do to get things up and running, to the point where it's not much different

I've been looking at either the pi 400 or or one of the pi 4 starter kits. For around the same price as the 400, I can get the 8GB pi and a full kit of accessories. But, I really like the idea of having everything just built into the

I've never used Spotify, I use bandcamp all the time. I've bought a bunch of music off there. It may not be as convenient, but I really like the idea of being able to pay artists directly and have them get most of it minus a small

Sounds like they blacklisted things likely to clutter up the comment threads and left things unlikely to be used. Country flags seem like they could be used for political trolling. Die faces could lead to weird rolling threads or other thin

That's kind of interesting. For fun I took a bunch of my hn comments and some comments and threads i've made in other forums. Apparently I consistently write at a grade 10 level, which is ok, but I should aim for 9, I use at least

I'm glad about that. I find it weird reading through comment threads or forums and seeing mobile phone emojis scattered through. I find them distracting. I'm not really too sure why. I don't mind them in personal messages or
