Reddit Got Rid of Their World Buffs
  • It's sooo hard to get away from games. You've either got Discord which is a shit show, or reddit which is an ad riddled shit show, but at least the comment and discussions are relatively structured.

  • The Prisoner's Trolley Problemma
  • My favorite version is:

    A trolley is approaching a junction and you have the ability to leave the switch where it is, sending the trolley into an innocent person tied to the tracks, or pull the lever sending the trolley down the tracks to someone else that is now faced with the same trolley problem.

  • Longest walks
  • On April 14, 1970, during an 11g slingshot maneuver on the remote side of the moon on the Apollo 13 mission, Astronaut Jim Lovell achieved what every other person born in Ohio has always dreamed of:

    Getting as far away as humanly possible.

  • WHERE
  • Just think about the fact that 100 years ago everyone in the world could not get get out of season fruits and vegetables unless you grew them yourself and probably needed a greenhouse.

    No tomatoes, no strawberries, no blueberries.

    It's why preserves and fermenting were such a huge thing. Through our history humans have invented tons of methods to keep food edible during times of less abundance.

    Now there's a world wide logistics network just so someone can have a fresh tomato in their salad in January.

  • Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU price leaked again, and it’s still eye-wateringly expensive
  • The problem is midrange is defined on being "lower than high end", and the 5090 is insane that it drags that line up. If AMD makes an 8800 level card, it'll be a "mid range" card by the extremely wide spectrum of performance, but it's still an upper 1/3rd card.

  • What's the best quality Linux Bluetooth audio experience for both me and the people I'm talking to?

    My mini ITX motherboard doesn't have as many USB ports as I'd like. I've also decided 2024 is the year I try to kill off all my USB micro devices and replace them with USB-C (sorry PS4 controller). So I'm going to go Bluetooth as much as it makes sense (because of the limited USB ports), and use devices that charge over USB-C

    For communication during gaming over discord I've been using a Logitech g933 for about 8 years with the USB receiver, so that's on the chopping block.

    I'm quite happy with the sound quality for music I currently get out of my Bluetooth headphones. A2DP gives a really great experience. Using those same headphones as a communication device with Discord for both recording and playing audio is really awful though as it kicks back to HFP/HSP. So I was wondering if it's possible to do a dedicated Bluetooth microphone? And more importantly: does connecting a micrpphone-only device over Bluetooth still need to be in the HFP/HSP profile to work?

    To be clear: my goal is to be wires-free for my audio solution, while having both a high quality audio output to hear my beloved gaming companions AND to have a high quality (or at least clear quality) audio input so my beloved gaming companions can hear me. The microphone built into Bluetooth headphones is generally shit and sounds like being on a cell phone call from 1999, even when using it on an android or Windows machine that gave custom Bluetooth stacks that don't fall back to HSP. That's why I'm interested in using a dedicated high quality (probably condenser?) microphone, I'm just unsure if that high quality makes it back to the computer when connected through Bluetooth.

    From the last couple hours of searching and reading I can only seem to find information regarding Bluetooth recording+playback combined headsets and the A2DP/HSP stuff. I can't seem to find anything about regarding dedicated microphones quality over Bluetooth.
