luag··on Wired headphone sales are exploding
Is in-ear ok? With IEMs, you'll get passive noise canceling that I've found more than enough for most situations.

I have a pair of IEM with the usb-c converter attached most of the time for use with phones.

Give Truthear Hexa a try.

Something similar to Reddit/lemmy, but without the front page could be interesting.

You have to join the subs and interact with each sub one at a time.

Also wanted to share about gl.inet.

I've used their other products (convexa) and was pretty happy about it.

The creta travel router offer power over ethernet too.

That would certainly be much better for the environment.

luag··on CT scans of coffee-making equipment
If you want to avoid plastic, Hario Switch is a great alternative. It allows you to steep and release, kinda similar to AeroPress (pressure only comes from gravity though).

Cone is made of glass, stopper is from stainless steel, but the base is made of silicone. I imagine the hot water contact with the silicone will be a lot less compared to AeroPress.

If you get the size 03, you can more easily brew enough coffee for 2 people.

The number of people who just didn't understand the implications of not using their own email for banks, etc is too many.

The fault is partially on the banks too IMO. Why don't they verify the emails first before sending sensitive information.

The politicians will probably only care when they themselves become the victims.
luag··on The ad-based internet is dying, and it's getting worse in the process [video]
The alternative would be to use big block Bitcoin fork (like Bitcoin Cash). Last time I checked, average transaction fee is $0.008.

I personally use it sometimes to pay for some services with minimal transfer fee, but BCH can't seem to win the branding game against Bitcoin.

luag··on 1Password: Standalone / Local Vault Option Gone?
Keepass on my work laptop (Windows). KeepassXC on my personal laptop (Manjaro Cinnamon). Keepass2Android on my smartphone. MiniKeePass on my iPad.

I've moved from dropbox to google drive for synchronizing my keepass database because of the recent changes to dropbox, where you can only sync 3 devices for free accounts.

luag··on 1Password: Standalone / Local Vault Option Gone?
I use KeePass and sync the database using Google drive / dropbox.

It's free.

luag··on Amazon fired these 7 pregnant workers. Then came the lawsuits
Maternity leave is a thing. In EU, it's even protected by the legislation to offer a minimum of 14 weeks, and that employers must not dismiss a woman simply because she's pregnant.

IMO, it's especially wrong when the company that does this is a trillion dollar company.
