If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
so anal about speed that only wired mouses will do for me. the battery weight is too much inertia.

I still have a wired mouse but that's because my intellimouse explorer 3.0 refuses to die and I don't see a need to replace such a needs-suiting device.

while this is true I'll take it for not having to deal with cables anymore. not getting snagged all the time on random things is better than the occasional hiccup

apple apparently removed support for rss for their news publisher, and now we're supposed to use some loving half-baked cms via icloud.com??

i know apple don't listen to podcasts given the state of itunes, but don't they, like, read?

e: given the state of ibooks, i take back my question

i mean, i hope apple is better at it, but i have used bluetooth daily for the past 10 years, and it is a loving awful mutually incompatible mess in the environments i have tried

every time my iphone connects to my car it starts up music (which i never use) and plays some random song even though the last audio app i used was podcast. heck i make sure podcast is in the control center before i start my car and it still fucks up and start music (which i never use). i don't recall this happening before ios9. poo poo sucks.

also, when is podcast getting a volume equalizer???

pretty sure audio broke in ios sometime around ios 6
also if you want to fix the volume in your podcasts use overcast

shockingly enough, when you pay for half-decent products rather than poo poo-tier logitech crap or alibaba special headphones you get stuff that works

QC 35 sucks. they sound like poo poo. the noise cancellation barely works.

if you want to spend money on headphones buy these https://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-770-PRO-250-ohms/dp/B0006NL5SM

they cancel just as much noise and they actually sound good

i have those and theyre v comfy for hours even w/ glasses on, idk about noise cancelling as i mainly use them quiet places anyway

the higher impedance ones are pointless tho
