@evan I said "rarely" partly because I think communication is required. Throwing the seat back without warning is antisocial behavior IMO.

@noodles Curious what you are using it for. I have one that I haven't touched for a while..

The PinePhone FLOSS modem firmware provides a local SMS command interface. But it's stopped answering my messages. Ghosted by my own phone!

Mysterious NYT correction: "A picture caption with an article...misidentified the brand of office chair that Brandi Susewitz was examining on her visit to Sitecore's office. It was not a Herman Miller Aeron chair."

so what chair was it???

Ashbery vowel sounds:

"withers wrung, stalls swept, a stray colt consoled, mud / drained, dried, blown off into the sun."

Wordle but you track how many consecutive days you've plugged in a USB-A cable the right way up in 1 guess vs how many days it took 3

@tahnu Actually looks like I was wrong about the example this morning -- it *was* just gmail rejecting my upstream SMTP server. But I have had issues with them looking into the prior headers in the past.

I guess I need to get serious about finding a solution to this problem of my mail to gmail users being rejected because of my laptop VPN IP -- even though the mail is actually delivered by an upstream SMTP server that gmail has no issue with.

@mlinksva @Greg Basically I would just avoid any that advertise an associated app, since there's a good chance non-app users will be second class at best and at worst not actually have access to advertised features.

@mlinksva @Greg I'm not actually totally sure having never bought a pair that required it, and the requirements seem only sketchily documented because everyone assumes you'd just be okay with an app. But I know when I was looking last year I saw things like needing the app to turn noise reduction on/off and to change sound profiles. Maybe also to only use one ear at a time (something I do frequently, see above about ambient sound). I don't think it's an issue in the < $50 range.

@Greg Be careful -- a significant number of bluetooth headphones/earbuds now require proprietary apps in order to do pretty basic things. I wouldn't exactly "recommend" PineBuds, but they work and have the promise of flashable firmware. Definitely plenty loud :) As a person who fundamentally doesn't like not being able to hear ambient sound, I also really like bone induction options.

@n8 Maybe you need to specify walking *forwards* downhill. It is showing you walking backwards downhill, as one does.
