Yeah OP. Having anxiety about meeting new people and/or living in a new place isn’t abnormal, a lot of people have it. But this is on another level. I really recommend seeking professional help, this doesn’t look like something internet strangers can meaningfully help you with.

I think it’s around a 80/20 split between me and my gf. I just really like to cook.

Almost like they have no money to spend after rent and food.

Don’t waste your time, they’re either an hardcore AI bootlicker or a shit stirrer - most likely both, looking at their post history.

My airpods only recently started working properly again, I probably dropped them too many times. The left bud wouldn’t charge without me holding it in a specific position, and at some point even that stopped working. After a while they (somewhat) started working as normal again tho.

You’d use a dedicated audio setup with it, yeah. I don’t know if the 59k is the headphones only or if it includes an amplifier, but a hi range amplifier can cost thousands too.

I’m not an audiophile tho, ain’t got the money, and even if I did my setup would at most cost €1000. So if anyone wants to post some real numbers go ahead.

he cant even sit through a movie without thinking about his $4.2 trillion tech giant

I’m so close to starting to feel sad for him

runs great on older less powerful hardware

better hardware support, not having to hunt down drivers

I remember installing Linux on my old laptop. It took me half a day to find working drivers for my WiFi card. It’s probably better now but whenever I read stuff like this I call bullshit.

Same. The moment Apollo shut down I quit reddit and started using lemmy on the voyager (pretty much an Apollo clone for lemmy)

every repair can be made by a layman with good documentation available, spare parts are quickly available and cheap.

That’s part of the problem isn’t it tho? When products aren’t designed to be serviceable, let alone to be serviceable by someone not specialized, and spare parts aren’t easily available (not even at 3rd parties), your only option quickly becomes to just buy a new one.

A few years back I replaced the screen on my Xiaomi Mi5. Parts were okayish to order, and while I did succeed, I wouldn’t have called it doable by someone who’s not afraid to turn their phone into a glorified paperweight. And that’s only gotten worse since then.

The creator, assuming he didn’t do anything wrong, complied with demands, providing full transcripts of his conversations and chats with gaming handheld manufacturers. The officers also took his phone, promising to return it in a few days. It was returned two months later, on June 15.

Oof. A reminder to not talk to cops, kids.

I hate cyclists, and I’m dutch. Cycle to work or the store? Fine by me, I do it all the time myself. Being a cyclist however? I’ll hate your guts.

Tho I’m pretty sure it’s not that uncommon of an opinion here, most of the time people either hate cyclists, or are one themselves.

If people want to watch the video and get the full experience, here is a re-upload: https://youtu.be/dC_8IY6WlHU

I don’t know the full story, but in the comments on the original video I read that Jordies was court ordered to edit out some parts of the audio because of “harassment”.

Aaah, that explains the potmeter. Thanks!

10/10 What’s the black pcb on top of the odroid?

Give me the past or give me death

AI prompt builder? What? It’s a fucking mouse???

I know it’s a generation later but the 1660ti I bought secondhand just before the pandemic is also working like a beast. If I had a lot of disposable income maybe I would’ve upgraded but it’s performing so good that I’d rather spend the 1500+ bucks on a different project like a NAS for jellyfin.

hot take

You weren’t kidding

Same with Pokémon. I’m not a big fan of most turn based games, but that franchise especially never spoke to me.

I have a friend who buys every new Pokémon game they bring out. Same him playing one a while back, and I was like, that’s it? They can get super big now? That’s the new thing? To me it’s like FIFA, same game different characters.
