I ripped my entire collection using Media Player only to find that it's left a bunch of errors, so occasionally parts of the song will be replaced by digital noise for a ¼ of a second. Very annoying.

Is there a ripper that uses parity checking? iTunes has an error correction feature but I don't know if it's 100%

This is what I use

The micro USB port on my s7 is hosed (cables just fall out if I don't position the phone and cable to within a millionth of a millimetre of the right position , as the port I think has been eroded after years of sleepily trying to plug the jack in the wrong way. Micro USB sucks so much) . I've owned this phone for like... 6 years now, and other than the charging it still works perfectly.

I really don't wanna upgrade, because it seems so wasteful when this phone does literally everything I need it to. Other than recharge.

Does the thread hive mind have any suggestions about what I could do? It doesn't seem like an easy fix.

Counterpoint to all the above advice, is that thing still getting security updates? If not then you really shouldn't be using it, especially for banking or shopping

S7s are on quarterly updates now, but they're still being updated. As of next year they will only receive necessary updates, though, so it's time to upgrade.

That's alright then (for now). There was a dude in the anroid thread recently who got his dong pics distributed round his nearest and dearest using an ancient J7 after getting sent an infected file in a chat

I'm getting inexplicably frustrated at the constant use of the word jab/jabbed/jabbing in the news for people being vaccinated, it feels too much like your weird 'tots/boffins' tabloid language and it rubs me up the wrong way

If the scores are level at full time, they should be forced to keep playing until one team scores two goals in a row, like that Isner-Mahut tennis match :colbert:

This is my football opinion

That's when the multiball starts, with the lights in the stadium going mental and sandstorm plays over the PA

Went to some cricket in Bristol last Sunday and the covid checks were incredibly lax. Ignoring the fact you can just lie to get proof of a negative test there was zero actual scanning

I could have shown the dude the QR code from my Tesco club card and that would have been enough

The bag searching was pretty thorough as standard though

If you are able, I would suggest you keep a 2-3 week supply of non essential items such as dry pet foods/non perishable food stuffs and the like.

I am expecting we're going to get a frankly catastrophic supply chain failure in the very near future.

We'll recover from it fairly quickly, I imagine through a rapid relaxation of the rules governing driver qualifications/entry visas but it might be very very painful in about a month.

This marshmallow flavoured cider I bought tastes like fuckin jelly babies. Just because I'm an infant baby and want sweet things I am being *punished*. Who taste tested this? How is this marshmallow flavour?

I'm going to have to learn to enjoy beer at this rate.

Pro tip for everyone. Just get a box of covid tests. They're free and then you have them if you're ever unsure.

Our local pharmacy seems desperate to get rid of their stock, I got two packs with my last prescription and I didn't have much choice in the matter

How do they work with regards to things like one time codes or card readers? Do they just get a separate api for access or do you need to provide them ways of getting that info?

It doesnt use passwords or anything, there's a new(ish) API that allows them all to talk to your bank

You have to re authorise it every so often

Yeah I mean wouldn’t it be funny if we decided it would be a waste of court time for simple things like “is it a human rights abuse to strip people of British citizenship unilaterally and leave them stateless” but an alpaca having an infectious disease against the law is allowed to waste 4 years of it.

Im not really that fussed I just wanted to make a Keith joke
