Your not wrong

Oh, the irony

I have a set of Siemens ones that were like 4k

You do get custom made inserts specifically for your ears, extremely precise tuning to adjust your hearing loss, they’re way less visible than earbuds, the batteries last 15 hours, wireless charging, free retuning and adjustments for life and free cleaning for life

Plus, just using earbuds to increase the volume will damage your hearing further, a good audiologist will have studied for years to improve your hearing without damage

Wouldn’t say it’s the best 4k I’ve spent but it’s fucking life changing

I love books

My biggest recommendation is to avoid asking for recommendations online, particularly in reading - centric communities.

People love to pretend their favourite books are classical just through sheer pretentiousness

The most genuine people you’ll find in life are the ones that are perfectly happy to admit they fucking love a trashy thriller

Perfect for the quivering shitebag coward in your life 😊

Dunno who that is but what’s with the “I’m a cunt” hair from the 1990s?

What century do you live in where you have to actually log in to pay your mortgage?! 😂

Four seconds of reading Vs a 16 minute video

I always find it strange that nobody ever mentions World of Goo

I hate games like that but I couldn’t put it down!

You hit the nail on the head when you said “expats or exiles”

They’re immigrants, and it’s only Brits and Yanks that refuse to admit it

I’m an immigrant. Learn the fucking language yous cunts. Respect the country’s mindset. Pay your fucking taxes.

Washing machines are a thing

Aye you’re right I do!

Mate I’ve got briefs that are two decades old, and they were from Primark! (Cheap shit clothing shop)

If I had to buy a new pack of 6 every year I’d drop the company like a hot turd 😂

At the moment I quite like Dim ones. Shit name, but I’ve had them 5 years and they’re still going strong

The Shure SM52 microphone (it used to be called the 58 but lost 6 due to budget cuts or something I dunno)

You might not have heard of it, but if you’ve been to a live gig, chances are you’ve seen one

Pffft they’re doing it because the EU is going to force this in a year or two, I bet

Exactly. You’d get your family “computer person” to do it.

If they care about the OS you want to use, they’ll upgrade to W11 this way.

If they’re obnoxious, self congratulatory Linux users, they’ll try to force you onto an OS you don’t understand

Which is better for the average person?

Aye it’s only a 22 hour drive OP, on you go 😂

True, it’s as difficult as plugging in a flash drive and clicking three things

Your average yank can’t attempt to tie their shoes without accidentally committing genocide lol stay away from installing operating systems

Yes, someone tells you a story about themselves and you just have to make it about you and shoehorn in some moral superiority

Mine said I couldn’t upgrade because of the no TPM thing. Turns out it’s just off by default on a lot of mobos.

Secondly, there’s a program called Rufus that can create a bootable flash drive with Windows 11 but removes stuff like the TPM requirements, the need for Microsoft account sign in, all the bad stuff etc

I’d been avoiding it for a year until I learned about Rufus but now that I’ve installed it, you know what? Without all the bloat, it’s a fucking smooth OS. Really excellent multitasking windows and fast too

Lemmy shits on it because “muh Linux” but if you install it right, it’s fucking excellent for the vast, vast majority of people
