Help needed choosing a good pair of noise cancelling earphones
  • I've been using bose 700s for a long time. They do occasionally have goofy bluetooth behavior and the earcups have to be replaced if you use them heavily, but the bose sound profile I like a lot more than the sony.

    I've tried XM5's recently for more codecs, and I love them except for one thing, which was that the band over the top had hard plastic parts and not enough soft padding, so the headphones with my head shape had a tendency to painfully squeeze. Wearing a hat or putting something on the band helped though. Headphones were light and breathed a bit better than the 700s anyway (haven't tried the QC 2).

  • The agony of indecision
  • I don't wanna overanalyze the meme, but it is irritating when you can't have a conversation with someone without their whole identity being based on whatever they've recently watched. Then if you haven't seen it, them uncreatively explaining the plot to you.

  • The agony of indecision
  • I've seen half the shows listed and they're all pretty decent. And this is from someone who just cycles one subscription and watches whatever looks interesting on the current subscription.

  • Why must we be done this way?
  • Man, I remember a couple teachers that encouraged randomly asking questions like that, and the whole class was really engaged. It was very rare but an amazing environment to learn in. I feel bad that there's so many people that never got to have those sort of teachers.

  • Why must we be done this way?
  • They would probably be more likely to stare at their phones instead of learning if they did.

    I do think that having students sit at desks for hours at a time is not an effective way of teaching. Giving students different ways of learning is beneficial and more likely to motivate them. But that usually is more work and more expensive to do.

    In an ideal world, every student would have an individualized, self paced learning program with a dedicated teacher. Unfortunately, that's not the case for nearly any student.

  • Why must we be done this way?
  • If schools only focused on what students were motivated to learn, I'm not sure schools would really be accomplishing much. Not to say that schools shouldn't foster motivation in students. Just that technology, especially social media, is very effective at distracting people.

  • Some questions from a new user
  • Depends on how you're accessing lemmy. There's a button on lemmy websites if your instance's admin has allowed it.

    Don't think so, easier to request someone on the other instance to create it for you.

  • You were not an asshole for saying thanks dude, but your comment after their reaction made you an asshole then. Your coworker's reaction was pretty strong though. Have you had issues with them before? I would try to apologize to them when you get a chance, maybe bring some coffee and donuts as consolation if you really wanna mend things.

    Don't forget to do so in the alternate realities you discover too 😄

  • Why do I have to re-download kernel packages everytime?
  • Is that from the deltarpms? It's a pretty common problem with them. You can disable deltarpms if you don't mind installing the full package by default. Though if you're concerned about the cost of the data, deltarpms are probably exactly what you want 🫤
