It’s not like the foam ones eliminate all sounds. I work in a noisy environment and can hear people perfectly fine with earplugs in. They just reduce all sound and your brain kind of compensates.

Just check the NRR (noise reduction rating) and trial and error some. Everyone has different ears. I personally like Howard Leight Max earplugs as they are soft and block a lot of noise.

I’ve had it improve grammar on some legal documents I had to submit and also generate a safety plan for a specific job I was working on. It did both of those things ok but I still had to edit and delete sections that weren’t relevant

I’m amazed at how many people remember the hardware they purchased 30 years ago.

You can donate and unlock some things

Smart audiobook player, fit notes. That’s all I got and they’re kind of niche

You really leaned into the ‘jerk’ vibe with this one

Oh come on. Mr negativity over here. FFS Valve has been a godsend compared to the likes of EA or Blizzard. I bet you complain when you get ice cream that it’s too cold

It probably seems impossible but exercise is amazing to boost energy. I started going to the gym and I have more energy than ever. It’s intimidating to start but after you break through the first barrier of getting there it’s easy. There’s tons of work out regiments online but if you want more info on how I got started and what I did I’m more than happy to share. Also, eat healthy and drink water. (I can’t believe I’ve become one of these “exercise and eat your greens” people)

Just talk with them like normal humans and pretend that you are a giant 5 year old.

It was a pw that was from a breach. Like most people I used to use the same pw for everything. Now I use bitwarden and love it

I once received an email with one of my passwords in it. It’s spooky when they get your info and reach out!

I’m with you. Bricscad was the best cad I found and it genuinely wasn’t a great experience. Very laggy but it has all the professional tools and workflow I’m used to.

The bidet is under development. It is going to have cameras to confirm cleanliness using ai.

CAD work in Linux blows. I say this after trying multiple options.

People may not want it but most don’t know, care enough to adjust, or are just generally complacent. I mean, I DO care and find it hard to move to Linux due to lack of support for some of my work tasks.

I think that’s why it’s a gray area. No one knows

Seems like it’s an ethical gray area. Some brain organoid have responded to light stimulus and there are concerns they might be able to feel pain or develop consciousness. (Full disclosure, I had no idea what an organoid even was before reading this and then did some quick follow up reading)

I used to love Asus stuff. It’s sad they are crap now. Who are the good guys these days?

Don’t you realize 5g is spreading the covids?! $5 + 5g = COVID 19! Wake up sheeple! The math is right there! Do your own research!

Edit: I’m happy that most people on Lemmy get an obvious joke without the need for the /s
