I typically recommend Fiio gear for people just getting into higher-end audio. They have some great stuff for <$100 that can be a huge upgrade over smartphone / laptop / desktop output. https://www.fiio.com/amp

Use a cotton swab with some of the material plucked off to make it thinner and soak it in CAIG DeoxIT or MG Chemicals Electrosolve (you can typically buy these from Fry's / MicroCenter / online). These chemicals are made to a

Same, it's interesting once you see the ~hidden truth between many religions where they're basically saying the same thing. It's not the EXACT same, and that's where everyone disagrees, but I also feel like many people w

Can the phone not monitor incoming current voltage look for things like AC on the charging signal, and disconnect the charging port if it detects those things? I know that it could, but it seems that instead of actually measuring, they’

I actually prefer a slower charge since it helps the battery last longer. I wish that the charging speed was software-configurable. I also have a samsung Qi charger on my desk, with another by my bed. They slow charge my iPhone, but if I ne

Yeah, one thing that world travel has really shown me is how dumb US cities and infrastructure are. In the UK, Japan, Hong Kong, etc, you can take trains wherever you want to go and walk on both ends to make up the last 1/4 mile. All o

Honestly GORN is a great workout as well, but you run into issues with the Oculus getting too hot on your sweaty face. I picked up a "VR Cover" and it helps a bit, but it still gets soaked through with sweat. It is at least easier

I also enjoy mountain biking, but not as much in California. I grew up in the midwest, and while there were many more mosquitoes there and the weather sucked half of the year, the trails were a lot more fun IMO. It was much flatter, so you

I got into running, thinking that I wanted to try for a half-marathon. I actually worked up to the distance surprisingly quickly. I was under 30 at the time and it took like 2 months, and before that I wasn't running at all or doing an

Yeah, I feel that way too. Like, every company whose products / services I liked that got acquired never released another interesting product or service. Dropcam is one that I can think of, nest is another which is related. Microsoft b

Public transit works great in other countries. People in the US don’t like it because of the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” thing, so we make up all these reasons about why it can’t work while setting up all future public transit up

Funny, I liked the trackball laptops as well. I had an old Zenith with one and later a Dell laptop with one (Latitude Xpi iirc). That Dell had MMX, so it would play mp3s in Musicmatch Jukebox without skipping like my desktop at the time wou

Do they come close in build quality though? I’m legit curious; I haven’t used a Razer laptop in years, but the last one I played with wasn’t super impressive in that regard.
