I've had those! It sounded like such a tech bro bs at first, then I found them secondhand for a steal. The whole "it adjusts to your ear canal" actually does something! In the end what made me sell them was use on the go. Every bump or movement of your head made the in ear part move and thus make weird noise cancelling sounds when that happened.

Great headphones and still miss them

I wouldn't pay it, but that is the price you'd normally pay for custom keycaps on Etsy as well. Quite often for lower quality too

I really want to switch to a clamshell for portability and nostalgia, but none of the clamshells supports usb c pd.... I don't want to bring around an a to c charger just for this device

I own a trimui brick and my gf has a miyoo mini plus. Great devices for the price and purpose

Android, ew. Should be a Linux phone

The second addition to our household. Tux is named after the linux penguin and not the garment. (Albeit indirectly still the garment)

OH NO I MISSED IT ;-;

I saw you promote this a good while ago. Currently not in the market for a new game, but I'd like to support. If you send me your PayPal or something I'll donate some for the cause

Linus torvalds actually wrote about this in his book just for fun. He does believe in companies contributing and that not everyone was on the same page

You cannot lose if you don't play their game!

No need, but I know that Kobo and pocketbook both can run koreader. But I wouldn't bother, as they're free to use with many formats and your own content. Works more like the old school mp3 players

What is the battery life you're working with? I prefer months over weeks imho

I will answer to some things

  • they're expensive, but they also outlast most modern laptops. A first gen Sony still fulfills its purpose of reading epubs. So in the end it isn't as expensive. Secondhand it is also a lot cheaper and again, they don't age that much
  • most readers are waterproof
  • e-readers have little storage, but a book is a few MB's. So even with 16gb, you probably never fill it
  • color is fun, but I'd recommend steering away if your end goal is reading books. You need to push the backlight way earlier than on a bw ereader. If you do read comics, it looks like an old newspaper in terms of picture quality. The colors are far from accurate, but you only notice this side by side with the actual comic/phone
  • I would steer away from kindles. They're known to just update and kill your setup. There are plenty of devices in which you can play around without this issue. Kobo and pocketbook are in my opinion the most viable options. Long battery life, supports many formats, supports koreader if you want. Boox is also fun, but due to android the battery life is a lot less. With the boox you're able to run Android apps though, so you could more easily use it like a notepad with your familiar apps
 

As stated in the title, MS teams keeps reverting the volume to 20 %. This is a glaring issue for me as my iems will blast me at 20%.

Unfortunately it is a worklaptop and windows is quite literally closed off, so no regedits to try and solve this. I made sure that in windows in sound that applications also cannot have exclusive control of my sound device, but it seems that this gets circumvented by just adjusting the system volume.

Anyone here that had the same issue and found a good workaround?

 

Holding your phone can mean tons of stuff now.
