Every earbud I had broke at least once during their warranty period. My linkbuds S recently broke the third time. Only one of my issues was battery related, but its still nice to have the option to use them after the warranty ends.

I really hate when native English speakers use could of or would of. It makes no sense and sounds completely wrong, yet some people claim it’s just a minor mistake.

My GPU had a shitty blower cooler, switching to water-cooling made my system so much more quiet!

If you use the keyboard for desktop mode:

1. Open system settings
2. Navigate to “Input Devices”, “Keyboard”
3. Go to the “Layout” tab
4. “Configure Layouts”, then “Add”
5. Add “German (US)”
6. Switch the layout on the “Taskbar” on the bottom right of the screen.

You can then use Umlaute like on any German keyboard, plus on the “a,U,o” keys themselves when you press AltGr (right alt). Any Sonderzeichen are like in the American layout. If you want to change that just use the normal German layout instead of German (US).

There is no way to change the layout of physical keyboards in the gaming mode. Those settings don’t change anything in the gaming mode and but the gaming mode settings only work for the on screen keyboard.

Bonus Umlaut of the day: Ö

Are those cameras in the retail space? There are cameras at public spaces, whether it’s Walmart, the DMV or the foyer of a police station. They aren’t there to surveille employees, they are there to prevent or record crimes.

People here are advocating to have cameras in office spaces, to specifically surveil employees. What the fuck is going to happen for people in home office? That’s illegal af, at least where I come from. And who is going to monitor these cameras? The local sheriff’s office? And who is going to review all that footage?

So do you think employees being recorded by their employers is ok as well? Because it isn’t. Having to live in constant surveillance is a mark of authoritarianism.

It’s because people aren’t wired that way. There’s a name for that phenomenon, but I forgot.

The idea behind it is that people make up “reasons” (conspiracy strategies) that fit the event. A big event needs a big reason, they can’t just accept that some things happen due to accidents or just by chance.

That’s why Covid can’t have been natural, it must have escaped from a lab! The government is giving us free vaccines? It can’t be that they just want to get us back to work, there must be a secret plot behind that!

I have a 5700 xt as well, paired with a 5600X. The game runs perfectly well. I honestly had more issues with stuttering in BG3.

I’ve heard “My dad is a lawyer” works for some people, but YMMV

So you bought then back in June 1933 and didn’t have the heart to throw them out?

I alegedly YouTube music and premium is super cheap if you VPN from Argentina or türkey. At least that’s what I heard (alegedly)

I’d say standing 1m in front off a bass wall with your friends at 5 in the morning.
