  • I got a pair recently and I generally like them a lot. Minor complaints include the controls not always recognizing my taps, and like most earbuds, their fit is variable depending on your ears. They fit me pretty well, but I switch them for Comply foam tips when I need real isolation from all noise, not just noise canceling. Make sure you update the firmware, it makes a difference.




  • I’d like to propose a rule to Politics subreddits. Any time there’s a Federal judge making a decision, have the name of the President that appointed them in parentheses and the year they were appointed. For instance, the judge in this case would read U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton (Clinton, 1995). It would provide a clearer perspective on a few things, including their inherent biases to be nominated by a given president, what was happening in the country/world at the time, and how freaking old the Courts are in general. In case you’re wondering, the Judge in this decision is 79.





  • The problem with getting EVs below $35k is all the equipment cars are required to have plus batteries for hundreds of miles of range. US consumers are “spoiled” by the idea of driving 300 miles, filling up the tank, and continuing, and there’s no high speed rail to utilize instead of using a car on long trips. The US is vast, literally the size of Western Europe combined, so the solution needs to be vehicles with shorter range for the close stuff and getting high speed rail for the longer trips. The short range vehicles can have smaller batteries, and that saves money and weight, which benefits performance on the road for big efficiency gains at a macro level.





  • When they print the label is completely separate from when the package actually reaches UPS/FedEx/USPS, and often packages from big corporations get stacked up with all the other packages from that day. When the company picks up the packages, they might scan the packages, but given how many packages are likely shipped daily by Apple. It’s more than likely that they’ll be scanned in at the distribution center. Which shipper is it?
