I read the Gizmodo review - the tap-near-the-buds to control them feature is more interesting than the hole. I’d like some normal solid buds with that feature.
I like the hole, but i almost exclusively use my buds in places where i need to hear things.
The tapping seems cool, hopefully it doesnt end up in a hitchikers guide to the galaxy radio situation.

I've got some Jabra earbuds, and they've got a Hear Through setting that works way better than I'd have expected. It just uses the microphones to mix the ambient sound into whatever you're listening to. So I can turn it off when I'm using the stand mixer and don't want it to drown out my podcasts and turn it on when I'm walking outside and need to listen for cars and large predators.
Today's "boy the Web3/NFT crowd is full of goobers" story involves a group of people trying to make NFTs out of Magic: The Gathering cards, without Wizards of the Coast's involvement of course. My favorite quote, out of a bunch of good ones:
“In the long run, I think there’s a chance we can just buy the Magic brand from Wizards of the Coast. mtgDAO could be the next evolution of what this game and this community is and how it is operated and controlled.”

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a statement.

They're trying to get rich for low effort.
Yeah but there's a huge difference between "we can make easy millions selling pictures of someone else's cash cow card game to suckers" and "they will sell us ownership of their cash cow card game and then we will utterly transform it and people will still like it"
The crypto/nft economy only makes sense to me if I imagine that everybody involves knows it's a scam and thinks they are the scammer.
Like I'm sure rationally that there are 'true believers' but I cannot fit them into my worldview.
If someone believes that right clicking on a NFT is theft then they're a true believer. If they genuinely believe that owning a token has given them "ownership" over something else, they're a true believer.
At a certain point it's difficult to tell who's a true believer and who is pretending to be a true believer so they can fleece the actual true believers.

Well, given crypto/tech valuations compared to normal ones, if it was popular ENOUGH you might be able to buy out Hasbro if you have enough suckers.
Hasbro's market cap is 13.3B, while startup dapper labs (which runs top shot for NBA) already has a pre-market val of 7.6B as of september of last year. In 2021, VC sunk more than 33B into crypto/web3 ventures, so major crypto venture on known brand? Definitely possible.

It might be be possible for someone but that doesn't make it possible for this random collection if assholes, particularly if they think it's a viable long term goal after starting out blatantly stealing it.

Part of the problem is that company valuations in this industry are mostly bullshit with no correlation to reality.
I mean, someone gave the HQ Trivia people $15million bucks on a $100million valuation while they were absolutely hopelessly bleeding money with no workable way to actually make money.

I'd like to say it's not possible for a random group of assholes, but crypto is such a weird momentum space with so little logic that I can't say for sure.

They might be a true believer, but they're not a true understander, since the image isn't what they own. They own the link to it.
That's why all this haha we right clicked his NFT makes no sense to me. You didn't "steal" anything they actually own. You haven't done anything at all. You can never actually steal that. If they're worried about it, it means they don't understand what they're doing.
Not that this is surprising.

Well yeah, most of them only have the loosest grasp on what they actually own.
If that weren’t the case, you wouldn’t have so many easy marks.

well, they own a reference to the link, the link itself is still owned by ICANN/the registrar
but it's much easier for someone to "show" what they own if it's represented by an image, and that's why people "steal" the image, since the fundamental nature of showing it to someone makes it trivially easy to "steal"

That doesn't make the "theft" anymore real. It's just a fundamental misunderstanding of the whole thing, on both sides.
NFT's are ridiculous, all round.

But joking about right clicking their ape gets some of them mad and that brings me joy.
I dunno if I agree that people making right-click jokes misunderstand the nft concept, it's just the quickest way to point out how stupid the concept is.
Hey tech thread, does anyone know of a preferably open source, but if not then free as in free beer android browser that can easily be used in whitelist mode?
Only allows websites from a whitelist. I know it can be done with plugins in stuff like kiwi browser, but ideally it'd be a browser that opens just one website.
I'm half of a mind to make a WebView app myself is how long I've been looking for one..

My Pixel 4a got stuck in a boot loop all morning. I couldn’t do anything with it until the battery died.
It seems to be stable now so I was able to transfer my Authenticator stuff to a spare work phone. I’m just gonna charge it up, reset it and hope that fixes whatever happened. I really don’t want to buy a new phone right now.

Huh. My phone has been flagging suspected spam calls for a while now, but just now one popped up marked as "Political Call." Seems nice for me personally since I can't get much more energized without jumping to a higher valence shell, but I do wonder how it's going to affect phone canvassing if it becomes a widespread feature.

if it's flagging like... unsolicited robo calls for donations then I have no problem with phones just blocking that shit
