Aftershokz were my first headphones of that type, and I loved them. A big bonus point was that they were the only type of headphones that were watertight enough for running in Irish weather.

Then they died on me a month out of warranty. I did some research and found many others with the same experience. Since then I'm buying no-name brands of bone conducting headphones. Even if they last only half as long, their cost is much lower.

Shout out to the book Red Tide by M. P. Woodward. It's a military thriller where one of the main plot points is a Chinese spy seducing the son of the CEO of a semiconductor manufacturer, in order to export AI chips to China. The book was published last year. The author worked in naval intelligence, so I guess there may have been rumors about this scenario before...

I have Eufy with their Homebase. All clips are stored locally, with assurances that they are not copied onto their cloud. Even though that may change, now that Anker acquired them...

As someone who is fairly physically active, flexes that risk people's health are especially irritating to me. Training to the point of injury or even through injury is not impressive; it's stupid.

Anyone actually uses Reddit search? That thing has been so horribly broken since the very beginning that some of the best subreddits (AskHistorians, for example) openly recommend using a standard search engine with the "site:reddit.com" parameter.

My rule of thumb: if it's big enough to give it a name, you've got to flush twice.

I'm a bisexual the same way that I am bilingual. A bilingual illiterate. I can't read in two languages.

During the time my entire neighbourhood was trick-or-treating last night, an Amazon driver had the bright idea to deliver packages. I hope the candies were worth driving around at 2 km/h and dodging small kids.

P/E under 20 and PEG under was a surefire way to attract the attention of value investors. Don't think there are many of them left...

Speaking of Amazon, I really missed the boat with that one. After the Internet crash of 2001, I looked at it, but due to the very low growth forecasts I didn't bother. A few years later the stock was up 800%.

I agree that most radio stations are shite. Fortunately, I live in Ireland, which still has publicly funded broadcasters. I have my phone permanently tuned to Lyric FM, which plays classical music with almost no commercials.

My current phone is Samsung XCover 4. It's a fairly newish rugged phone; still has a FM receiver.

Hmmm. Back in the 90s and early 00s, a PE of 20 would make a company worth a closer look by value investors. The only tech companies I've seen with such a low P/E were dinosaurs sticking to outdated technologies, close to shutting down (Earthl8nk, 3DO, etc). I should have a look at Reddit's financial statements if I find the time.
