My grocery store just changed from 6 registers + self-checkout to 2 registers + 12 self checkout.

And the register lanes used to always be full.

I do not look forward to going to the store now. It's a mess.

Main one to me is you can't have a grey area in between without black and white to compare it against.

I threw out about a dozen DC adapters last month (2 replaced in use adapters, another ~10 in "the box") after finding these USB C PD to various voltage and amp DC barrel plugs on Amazon:

There's tons of kinds, and they're probably a fire hazard, but I can buy a USB-C PD power strip and some short 6, 8, and 12 inch USB-C cables to power my dsl router, wifi AP, raspberry pi, and NUC, all with one wall outlet and none of the cable mess.

I'm not pro MS. I'm pro not feeding Google.

I feel like this is similar to arguing that Exxon is bad so it's better to buy gas from BP.

Both are shitty options.

A lot can change in 13 years, but a company that starts off morally evil does not magically get better as time goes on. If anything, they're worse - we just don't have the luxury of knowing exactly how yet.

my theory is Bing is better because they are hungrier and anything that takes away market share from Google is good

If you think Microsoft is in the business of innovation and healthy competition, you're wrong.

What's the best quality Linux Bluetooth audio experience for both me and the people I'm talking to? (lemmy.world)

My mini ITX motherboard doesn't have as many USB ports as I'd like. I've also decided 2024 is the year I try to kill off all my USB micro devices and replace them with USB-C (sorry PS4 controller). So I'm going to go Bluetooth as much as it makes sense (because of the limited USB ports), and use devices that charge over USB-C

For communication during gaming over discord I've been using a Logitech g933 for about 8 years with the USB receiver, so that's on the chopping block.

I'm quite happy with the sound quality for music I currently get out of my Bluetooth headphones. A2DP gives a really great experience. Using those same headphones as a communication device with Discord for both recording and playing audio is really awful though as it kicks back to HFP/HSP. So I was wondering if it's possible to do a dedicated Bluetooth microphone? And more importantly: does connecting a micrpphone-only device over Bluetooth still need to be in the HFP/HSP profile to work?

To be clear: my goal is to be wires-free for my audio solution, while having both a high quality audio output to hear my beloved gaming companions AND to have a high quality (or at least clear quality) audio input so my beloved gaming companions can hear me. The microphone built into Bluetooth headphones is generally shit and sounds like being on a cell phone call from 1999, even when using it on an android or Windows machine that gave custom Bluetooth stacks that don't fall back to HSP. That's why I'm interested in using a dedicated high quality (probably condenser?) microphone, I'm just unsure if that high quality makes it back to the computer when connected through Bluetooth.

From the last couple hours of searching and reading I can only seem to find information regarding Bluetooth recording+playback combined headsets and the A2DP/HSP stuff. I can't seem to find anything about regarding dedicated microphones quality over Bluetooth.
