Need noise cancelling headphones recommendations
  • I don't know how the prices are over there, but used wh-1000xm3 over-ear headphones could be an option. They have basically the same anc than the newer models (interestingly rtings rates tde xm3 better than xm4 and xm5), and even more importantly the voice prompts can be completely disabled apart from power-on and power-off sounds, unlike in the newer models.

  • Edit: See sushibowl's explanation below why this is incorrect

    What do you mean that blocking sudden noise in technically very challenging? I might be wrong, but from what I have gathered is that ANC is based on playing a "negative" of a pressure wave picked by the microphones in phase with the original wave. Thus it has to react to all sounds in the time that the pressure wave travels from the microphone to the ear, so it shouldn't matter whether the noise is constant (airplane) or sudden (gunshot).

    Of course if the headphones have some kind of pass-through active, then it might take a while until software decides to activate ANC, but that is not a limitation of ANC itself

  • Only telling people my height in cm from now on
  • When using feet and inches, its fine to use precision of 1 inch as it's much smaller unit than 0.1 m.

    If one says that they are 5'11" (180.34 cm), they can be 5'10.5" (179.07 cm) to 5'11.5" (181.61 cm) tall. That's 1.4% variance.

    If using meters with one decimal place, and say they are 1.8 m (5'10.9"), they can be 175 cm (5'8.9") to 185 cm (6'0.8") tall. That's 5.6% variance.

    Thus it's not really viable to use only one decimal place when using metres as unit, so in many languages it's easier to just say the length in centimeters compared to use two deeimal places.

  • I setup jellyfin with private tracker finally last week. We haven't used any streaming service in years, so I was shocked to find out we would have needed 3 different services for 2 movies and one series we wanted to watch.

  • It's true.
  • Notice that only some of them re-animated? Those are the strong and manly meat eaters, unlike the weak vegans who are too protein-deficient to be able to be resurrected

  • World’s largest thermal energy storage to be built in Vantaa, Finland
  • The problem with pumping is low energy density, especiall when compared to deating water. Heating 1 kg of water by 1°C requires 4186 joules of energy. So to store the same energy by "lifting" water, it would require 4186 j / (1 kg * 9.81 m/s^2) = 426 m of height difference. This value seems unbelievable, but I have triple checked it. And that is only 1 degree of difference, 50 degrees difference would equal 27 km of height difference.

  • Oh not that kind of flight, it's fight or flight type of a thing. So whenever anything scary happens, the only thing one can do is run away.

    See a big scary dog? Run away. Partner injures themselves? Run away. Have to attend an important meeting? Believe it or not, run away.

  • TELL ME
  • I solved this issue by getting an ortholinear split keyboard (keebio iris) and flashed it with custom dvorak layout. This way my muscle memory hasn't suffered much then using a regular keyboard with qwerty, only special characters like paranthesis cause issues.

  • Ensiasunnon verovapaus poistuu vuodenvaihteessa

    Hallitus esittää ensiasunnon ostajia koskevan varainsiirtoverovapauden poistamista.

    Ensiasunnon verovapaus poistuu vuodenvaihteessa

    > Hallitus esittää ensiasunnon ostajia koskevan varainsiirtoverovapauden poistamista. Valtiovarainministeriön tiedotteessa todetaan, että tällä rahoitettaisiin osittain verokantojen alentamista. > Muutos tulisi voimaan ensi vuoden alusta. > Hallitus esittää myös varainsiirtoveron alentamista kiinteistöjen, asunto-osakkeiden ja muiden arvopapereiden osalta. > Juttu täydentyy.

    Herranen aika hallituksella on nyt kova meno; tehdään ensiasunnon ostamisesta kalliimpaa jotta voidaan laskea varainsiirtoveroa (pääosin) sijoittajilta.
