The wife wants me to buy her some cleaning technology to make her job a little easier. She asked for a battery vacuum that can take batteries for a quick suck before she mops.

I already own some Makita tools and Milkwakee so I have a bunch of spare batteries she can mooch from. What stick vacuumn technology should I get her so she can clean our house?

Don't get a Dyson. Just had a v15's motor burn out, a year after the warranty ran out. Took it apart, loads of internal voids that collect mountains of dust between the prefilter and motor module, which turns out is a sealed unit that is a total bitch to open up. I can even see the copper coils through the perforations but can't access them without butchering the whole thing. Dyson just replaces the whole body if there's an issue with the motor, out of warranty - £160, which just a scam in my opinion. Overpriced crap, fuck them.

Instead, For £210 - not much more than the replacement dyson body, I've been considering the makita 40v CL004G, since I already have XGT batteries. Powered head, optional hepa filter, 3 year warranty. Small collection bin, but can just be emptied more often and I know every part will be available for replacement at reasonable price.
>>
>>107632062
Dyson is made for 20V batteries like DeWalt uses. With 18V you have shorter run time and the motor doesn't get up to full speed in turbo mode. I think LG and Shark have ones with swappable batteries. As long as you have two it should be fine.

ITT we share helpful firefox user_prefs that make it better. I'll start.

user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.warning.timeout", 0);

This removes the annoying banner saying press ESC to exit fullscreen every time you fullscreen a yt video.

user_pref("media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.has-used", true);
user_pref("browser.engagement.downloads-button.has-used", true);

With this in your user.js before you open the browser it won't popup instructions on obvious features. I have a pretty big user.js based on betterfox that disables telemetry and toggles all the settings the way I like them so it's completely configured on install without doing anything, and then I've added a bunch of minor quality of life conveniences like these. Share yours anons.

Dumb people are going to be dumb.

I have an acquaintance who I've gotten into two AI arguments with. She's a firm anti AI person, despite never having used it. She tried to tell me how AI works, even though I've literally made machine learning programs before, and also tried to tell me that it's "SLAVE LABOR!" But in the same breath she also says "AI is just a word guesser."

I kept trying to calmly explain to her how AI actually works, but she called me a "techno machine God worshipper". I left after that.

Dumb people are going to be dumb.

It's really too bad everyone has an equal voice on the internet. It gives these dumbasses way too much weight.

LLMs are conditional probability models, not just a univariate probability law. Thinking is also about seeing your thinking and acting based on it. Thinking models guess the next thinking token based on the previous ones, and they respond based on the thinking tokens. This is a simplified version of our brain.

On my end they will use it for weather related claims denials. They already do.

>Verisk Respond says fuck you no weather at your address by doing a cursory scan of the NOAA and proprietary prediction algorithms based of radar data
>"We're sorry, the hail at your house wasn't big enough to damage anything. Please fuck off. If you choose not to fuck off, your next inspection will be a forensic engineer that only works for us."
The problem with this is that they aren't scraping live radar data because the NOAA won't let them. It's all extrapolations. What it really means is that I (or the policyholder), needs to hire a forensic engineer and a meteorologist to prove this bullshit wrong. The additional problem is that insurers will use this for denial, get sued for it, but the will settle before the decision ever becomes case law so they and their scumfuck colleagues can never have it used against them on court. There is no criminal penalties for acting in Bad Faith, and there are only civil penalties if you exercise your rights under the policy and sue them. The vast majority of people don't.

>they are pic related model but i'll have to look into exact production on sn i guess
So it's one of the older models before they changed the headband. If you have a chance to actually touch them then as long as there are fazors(they protrude slightly from inside the cups, look like picrel but you won't see them) then it's the model with the newer drivers. The tuning doesn't really matter when you EQ but their are very few measurements of the pre fazor versions and the tuning from unit to unit varies between 3-6dB at times which is why I'm saying this.
>wicked, gonna have to test these out
Their stuff basically doesn't distort up to 120+dB so you can apply a huge bass shelf and then listen to bass heavy tracks and feel your eardrums vibrate, amazing experience. Main reason why I always liked their stuff.
>I think i remember a similiar thing when i had the ether cx's, kinda miss those things

Not even once. I haven't forgotten the dying Susvaras nor have I forgotten my own two pairs of cans I've bought from them dying. Same reason I sold my Arya. Not to mention pairs like Edition XS having a huge resonance in the treble. I guess FiiO and Moondrop are better but even then I've heard of dying drivers sometimes.
>Stax
If you get one of the older models then yeah, sure. But "true endgame" is anything you can EQ decently that doesn't distort or have resonances.

>without feeding the capitalist machine too much

Anon, I appreciate your good intentions but think of it a little further.
By generating demand of these machines and the consumables it uses, you ARE feeding the capitalist machine. And the factories that make them, are also feeding a bigger machine.

It's almost impossible to no feed it at this point, one way or another.

But it's a lot better than buying new stuff for each of the people you want to gift to.

>>107632501
My problem too. I know the new corexy machines like the bambu far outclass my old prusa bedslinger and it sure would be nice to print to much faster when I am printing things but eh, my machine is extremely reliable and good enough. Maybe worth it to get something large when I eventually upgrade for more print volume.
