The point is that the 20+ year old Sounds settings are still much easier to use than the new bullshit settings UI that keeps changing all the time.
I can’t find shit in the Windows 8/10/11 settings and still use the old settings wherever possible.
Afaik the protocol is documented[1] and the clients are open source[2].
No code available for the backend though.
No Christmas presents for op this year.
Finding a new apartment. My landlord just gave notice because they need the apartment for a family member and I need to find and move to a new place within three months.
Sucks big time cuz my current apartment is a pretty new building, quality flooring, bath, kitchen, tons of windows and very bright overall and I am paying way too little compared to similar apartments.
You can repair a broken cable fairly easily. Especially on higher end headphones. Sometimes you can even buy replacement cables right from the manufacturer.
When you buy wireless headphones you know upfront that they will die within a few years and you will not be able to replace the tiny glued in, oddly shaped batteries they come with.
I like the convenience of BT at times, but I really miss having headphone jacks and hate having to bring adaptors with me.
I usually have trouble falling asleep and can’t just take a nap in the afternoon - never could.
But on a plane I’ll be asleep minutes after the engines started and I’ll happily sleep for hours through an entire flight. Something about the engine noise and movement of the cabin is very soothing to me. Same for trains, busses, cars.
And yet I’ll regularly lie in my bed awake desperately trying to fall asleep…
That shouldn’t really affect anyone as we don’t pre-order games anymore, right?
