  • I prefer wired for almost all cases. The reasons are threefold:

    1. It seems like the only Bluetooth headphones being sold lately are either tiny individual ear buds that are easy to lose or big bulky over-the-ear headphones. Right now, my preferred wireless ear buds are connected by wires to an around-the-neck device, and I’m worried I won’t be able to replace them easily when they finish falling apart.

    2. Wireless ear buds are one more thing I have to charge. I already have to charge my phone, watch, game accessories, and vape. I don’t need one more battery to manage.

    3. Latency makes it obnoxious to watch video with wireless audio.

    Right now, the only use case for my wireless ear buds is when I’m walking the dog and don’t want to worry about the wire bouncing around and getting caught on my clothes when I’ve already got the leash in one hand. The only reason I use Bluetooth in my car is because my old car had annoying feedback when I listened on the aux cable while the phone was charging. I’m considering trying aux again in the new car because the latency on the car’s Bluetooth is even worse and I’ve found myself watching videos in my parked car while on break from work.

    I started a clean Windows install a few weeks ago. Upon first boot, I immediately deleted the program files folder for Edge in an act of defiance to Microsoft. I then realized I had no browser. Had to ask my son to put a Firefox installer on a flash drive for me.

    3 days later, I found out that winget exists.





  • My hatred of blackberries is unending. I’m angry enough that I have to mow the grass, but there is nothing I loathe more than having to regularly take a machete to the encroaching mass of thorny monsters that are invading my yard and attempting to make it uninhabitable by my children. If I was given the option to make any species of any living thing immediately extinct, I would choose blackberries without a moment’s hesitation, and then throw a party to celebrate the oppression I’ve been freed from.
