I never owned BT earbuds. What are the downsides versus wired?

>>107838774
codec compatibility, i.e. your phone or earbuds could support sbc, aac, aptx (and what flavour of aptx), ldac, or samsung's proprietary codec?
can the earbuds be effectively paired with multiple devices, i.e. your phone and your computers?
>>
>>107838774
Batteries will eventually wear out.
Disconnecting one device and connecting another is still slower and more awkward than pulling the plug out of one jack and sticking it in another.
Latency. Doesn't matter for music. Some video players detect latency and compensate by delaying the video, some don't and then the sound doesn't line up. Sucks ass for games.
Mic quality. It's recording from up at your ear.
Bluetooth. When you open the mic device it switches the connection from the "A2DP" mode that plays good sounding stereo audio but doesn't have a mic, into "HFP" mode which plays liquid ass sounding mono audio and captures equally ass sounding mono microphone audio.
Also depending on the brand, sometimes the two earbuds forget they're a pair. Sometimes putting both of them in the case together and long pressing the touch button on both fixes it, sometimes it doesn't.

"Go Pop" doesn't seem like a name that inspires confidence for something with a speaker. Or anything electronic either really.

It is not that 3 middle managers having a meeting can yield any knowledge or insight that makes work happen faster
The cognitive weight of "middle managers are Having Meetings about us being very bad boys and being slow and imperiling the wonderful promises that were made" becomes the first thing the engineers think about when they wake up and it is this which increases productivity

AI can't look at waveforms (yet) to debug what went it wrong. It also can't do a good job at linking together signals at the correct pipeline stage.

I have two external drives, one 20tb seagate HDD and one 2tb SDD that was scavenged from a laptop and put in housing. I want to preserve their data best I can. What is the easiest way to scrub the data to prevent bitrot/the data loss SSD is known for? Is there an application that makes it easy, or do I just have to do it with powershell?

Powershell or shell scripting is probably the easiest to maintain parity between 2 sets of data. But the crux of the problem is your source of truth is 1 drive. While magnetic media doesn't bitrot to the degree solid state does, it you want a minimum of protection from it you will need 4 drives.
If you have 1 drive, you loose
2 drives you can mirror, but you don't have a source of truth cause one drive can fail.
3 drives you will have a source of truth as long as all 3 keep working, when 1 fails though you can introduce bitrot while rebuilding.
4 drives will give you 100% protection assuming no more than 1 drive fails at a time, and more than 2 drives don't fail at the same time(that would cause array failure).

On top of that you need to run a copy on write file system, ZFS or BTRFS ideally in raidz2.

Last item to look into on your file storage system would be error correcting RAM. This will protect data in transit.

As of right now, for drawing on the go with optional regular usage? iPad for sure. Pen pressure support isn't really a priority on Android unfortunately, so just go with iPad.

>>107832744
iPad Air 5th gen doesn't have facial recognition, right? Lack of hover is gonna suck but I'm considering that one solely because of that.

>>107838756
everyone that used atleast 1 graphics tablet in his life know how dogshit apple pencil really is: slippery (you have to use paperlike screen protector), produces lots of fine plastic dust (paperlike screen chew thru plastic ends like crazy), you have to turn off squeeze and double tap, battery life on pencil pro is tragic, you cant use felt nibs, its too slim so you might get pain and cramps. Constant taps because its hard plastic on glass.

Line quality is nice, there is lots of good software, more than on android but android its catching up slowly.

You have to try wacom pro pen 3 - its feels like cheap plastic stylus but when u use it it feels just right. Just enough give on taps, just enough resistance on for longer lines, just enough control for slower lines, no problems with line quality. Japan is on top of that business for long time

Spen is trash with gummy nibs (or not gummy cuz they change nibs like every tablet generation so you have to buy newer one), better buy wacom emr pen that works with samsung tablets (spen is rebranded wacom tech).

As for other android: almost every apple pencil knockoff type stylus from oneplus, xiaomi, lenovo ect are dogshit, there is few that are ok but nowhere near lvl of apple pencil

Window and surface stylus are mem, there is more Microsoft gives greater priority to sending your drawing and writing data to the server for ai training than making stylus that can draw in straight lines
>>
>>107839679
Quite a few don't use facial recognition actually, they use fingerprint scan. Even the latest base model iPad and current iPad Mini use either fingerprint or passcode.

>>107839532
>buy a series of adapters
Seems it outputs composite but it's on a DIN plug instead of standard RCA. I'd probably get a normal AV to HDMI converter, an RCA cable, and a DIN plug, and solder the wires to the right pins on the DIN. Though the lazy way is to just cut and strip the RCA cable and jam the wires into the correct holes on the DIN socket.

Also poco f7 is the way to go for chinkshit.
