Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle booksEnglish
1·10 months agoI am getting prompts from the script for “Your Amazon Oath”
Any idea where I can actually find/download this ?
If you want to do the learning and the work then unraid is a pretty sweet solution. It will be as good as your hardware and has lots of apps and decent forums.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I now use debian 12.7 with audacity 3.5.1. Why does audacity record everything much louder than with ubuntu 23.10, including background noise?English
9·1 year agoSounds like the gain is way different on your input.
Too high will cause increased levels of distortion

If you don’t mind trying something different then give the GameBall trackball a go.
It has a lot of features and smarts that are controlled via the firmware within the unit (and as such doesn’t require extra software). Plenty you can do with extra software (same as any other device but it works well with generic)

Technology@lemmy.ml•Fairphone Fairbuds launch with replaceable batteries, titanium drivers and ANCEnglish
2·2 years agoWell… It’s not a commute that I need to do every day. Also I can (to some extent) work on that commute as the majority of it is on an inter-urban train. Timeboxing tasks to 30 mins or an hour can be quite productive. That said, having decent music and or noise blocking configured for your environment helps a lot. I highly recommend these guys - I have their full app and being able to dial just the right frequencies to deal with whatever is bugging you is amazing…
That said, without my device and quality headphones/iem I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.

51·2 years agoThe buds don’t need a jack. Just the lead that connects to the phone or whatever. That takes no real space.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Fairphone Fairbuds launch with replaceable batteries, titanium drivers and ANCEnglish
51·2 years agoSo… I was more referring to a 3.5mm jack on the phone.
Commute time is a little over 2hours each way. Office use is 6-8 hours. Listening + calls and needing a microphone.
Would rather not to have to do the dance for multiple devices and chargers vs just one and a single usb input.
Some of the
bushesbusses and trains have a usb but you have to get lucky and then decide what needs charging more…the phone or the buds.Give me a wired option any day. Also used less battery power and sounds better.
edit… typo

Hear me out. I don’t use Bluetooth headphones. They don’t last the commute and work day.
With a jack you can listen and charge you phone at the same time and never worry about charging your headphones/iem.
If I need to use Bluetooth for connection I still can but overall better battery life

Linux@lemmy.ml•I need a distro that can work right out the box without too much hassle to configure it, which one would you recommend?English

Linux@lemmy.ml•[Rant] A few days ago, I asked if Mint would run okay on a Lenovo T460 (I appreciate all the advice). I got it working, but the installation was a big pain and I totally blame Lenovo.English
7·2 years agoWell done. It’s a Lenovo issue. Had to do the same thing recently for a friends laptop and did the same dance.
I have some IT background so kind of knew what to look for but it still was a pita.
Depends on the boot.
The more expensive ones come with multiple air bladders and you inflate one the boot is strapped on. You can adjust where and how tight.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•The United States has Florida and "Florida Man". What state/province/region has your country's version of Florida Man (stereotypically home to crazy people)?English
8·2 years agoQueensland for the red necks or Darwin.
I would suggest that Darwin Man is kind of more similar to Florida man.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your experience with sleeping on a Futon?English
5·2 years agoI have had 3 futons. There is a big difference in comfort and longevity based on their inner materials.
Like anything between you and the ground, paying more is generally a good investment.
My back (which has had several surgeries) is happiest on a futon but that’s generally because we used a frame vs placing it on the floor.

Experimented with various approaches, looking to replace an older Pegasus set of 6 drives and a file server.
Unraid just worked. Lots of support and tutorials to get started. Look up Spaceinvader on YouTube as a starter
