Notepad++ doesn't have a confirm dialog for 'close all' if the documents have all been saved. That was a heck of a misclick.

While on my way inside today, I slipped on ice and shattered my phone's screen.

Dammit. It's new, too. I wish that getting the screen replaced wasn't so expensive.

The job I'd applied for and had an interview/training for tomorrow was cancelled; the employers decided they dont actually need to hire anyone. The contractor also apparently lost my paperwork, even though from my point of view on my profile page and from emails it's all completed and signed. Good job guys. I am now signing up for another job through the same contractor. Still waiting for them to resend the paperwork again.

This is a massive clusterfuck and I'm ready for bed -_-

Why do people listen to music without headphones? It's like "No, I can only enjoy my music if I'm bothering other people, and if anybody asks me to turn it down I'll get really butthurt"

the same people who when they wear headphones have the volume up so loud you can hear it from across the room.

My nice headphones make really loud static crackling sounds if you move the cord. Also they're battery-powered, and the on switch only works sometimes.

I actually prefer my Blutooth headset to regular ear/headphones now. Not having to deal with a cord is really convenient, and they last a day as long as you remember to turn them off when not listening. They still sound like regular ass earphones though.

You people use Bluetooth headphones?  3.5mm audio out is the only true way to do it, and with decent headphones not earbuds.  Reeee.

But seriously, I've never understood why people are so into Bluetooth everything.

Do you maybe have a cold or allergies?

But seriously, I've never understood why people are so into Bluetooth everything.

Cords are too short, too long, get tangled, get unplugged accidentally, get caught on things in your pocket, get caught on things in meatspace, get chewed on by pets, get damaged (and often can't be replaced), and all those things make them a pain that I don't care to deal with anymore. If I could have everything wireless then I would; we're nearly there with wireless charging for phones, now we just need wireless power as a general standard and it's all gravy.

And I'm not going to wear a huge pair of headphones in public. It's uncomfortable, I can't jog or even turn too quickly while wearing them lest they fall off, I can't wear them over most hats or even under a hood very comfortably and I look like a dork with a huge pair of headphones around my neck.

i hate wireless everything

[TheBiggerFish]

Get chewed on by pets?!?!

UNFORGIVABLE HERESY!!

Yeah, I like wires, honestly.  You have more freedom of motion, paradoxically, than wireless charging.

Though what with ultra-fast chargey stuff I could probably see it work out that you just tap your phone to the charger for a quick top-up or something?  But I mean, I still want wired headphones.  Bluetooth isn't the best thing for audio quality.

[itisnotlogical]

I can set my laptop to play music, walk halfway across the house and still hear the music over bluetooth, how is that less freedom of motion than an arm's length away with my regular headphones

For wireless power I was mostly thinking about cord wrangling. I have a PS3, N64, Gamecube, Xbox and VCR/DVD player all hooked up to the same TV in the living room, and I'm afraid of the day where I decide to add anything to that mess. And I planned it to avoid tangles and rat's nests, all the power and video cords are looped so that only the minimum length is used. Still looks like a nightmare.

[TheBiggerFish]

Uhh...Did you hear what I said though?

Compared to wireless charging, you have more freedom of motion when plugged in via cord than when stuck to a charging stand.

I make no comparisons to Bluetooth but do note that phones and mp3 players exist.

Are we talking phone speakers, or a decent portable speaker?
