That's the noise for sure, I seem to notice it every time I move my head. I've had the K271 mk II for like 15 years and they've lived in a pelican hard case any time they weren't on my head for the first 13 of those years and a cheaper hardshell case from amazon for the last 2 years or so. Its not like they've been abused at all.

Does the braid cut down on the plasticy squeaks? I've got a pair of K271 mkII and K712 pro and while I love the sound signature and the light feel on the head, the plastic squeaks have me reaching for my senny's instead

Uncle Vanny was Vanilla Ice this whole time?!

game developers and publishers are hesitant to enable Linux compatibility,

And I am hesitant to spend money on their games.

Google's "Now playing" feature constantly listens to what's going on in the background to show you what songs are playing. They claim this is done with a local database of song "fingerprints". The feature does not show the microphone indicator because: "...Now Playing is protected by Android's Private Compute Core..."

I'm not saying that other, non-google, app do this to my knowledge; but the fact that this is a thing is honestly a bit scary.

hard drives and SSDs don't count as physical

When was the last time you walked into any store and bought a feature length film or tv show on hard drive or SSD?

Even on a streaming service, the files are stored physically somewhere.

What is your plan when the licence agreement for your favorite series expires on your chosen streaming service and no other streaming service picks up the show?

All media is still, technically, physical media

No one is arguing this. You're making the strawman arguement. The not-so-subtle undertone of the article is clear.

Quoting the article:

The planned job cuts come amid a decline in demand for traditional storage formats such as Blu-ray discs, with streaming services now the norm.

...

The electronics and entertainment conglomerate will also gradually cease production of optical disc storage media products, including Blu-ray discs, according to the sources.

You will not be allowed to legally own tv shows or films and you should learn to like it. As I can tell from many of the other comments here, not many of us are fans of that idea.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Linus Torvolds?

When I first met my wife, she was rocking a Samsung Galaxy S5. It was water resistant and had a removable battery.

Also, devices that are sealed units and claim to be "waterproof" but do not cover water damage under warranty should not be considered waterproof.

So what you're saying is when dog content out numbers cat content, its time to look for the next new platform?

So many tech answers on reddit. Hopefully the community here will bloom soon enough

Yes, they are a company. Yes, they need to make money. That's what companies need to do. Especially if the rumors that they are looking to do an IPO are true.

Thay doesn't mean they need to be shitty about it. That's why I'm here making this comment, not making a comment on Reddit.

Does it upset me that Reddit is being so shitty (and has been so shitty in the past)? Yes. But I can't control that. I can only control my reaction. So now I'm here trying to make the best of it.
