  • Unfortunately, I have both the headphones and the ear buds and I think the cans isolate noise better than the buds. It could be a problem due to a bad fit though. With the buds I could not get a decent fit with the foam tips so ended up getting some tips on Amazon so I lose a little noise isolation there. The size of the buds for the xm5 isn't the greatest for me either so THAT doesn't help - I get a little bit of slipping while eating for example. All said, I still think the xm5 does OKAY, but my link buds surpass it due to a better fit.

    The bose might have an overall edge imo going by their reputation of having a good and comfortable fit. My brother has a pair and says they fit real well. I just can't do the bose because the case is too large for me to carry in my pockets (even the newest model is rather large. The last generation was ridiculous - Bose is kind of crazy with their cases).

    I would make sure you buy a pair from a store with a good return policy so if the fit does not work well for you you can exchange for something else. Everyone's ears are different so there is no way to say how it will fit for you till you try them on.

  • The National Federation of Independent Business has opposed mandatory sick leave rules at the state level, arguing that workplaces should have the flexibility to work something out with their employees when they get sick.

    What a dishonest statement. They know the burden put on the employee and that a great many of them are forcing themselves to work sick because they don't really have the option. If employers were flexible with the employees we wouldn't be in this position.

    The group said the cost of paying workers for time off, extra paperwork, and lost productivity burdens small employers.

    Oh yes, let's not treat a person with decency because God forbid there is some extra paperwork to fill out.

  • This is disappointing. Due to Kagi requiring an account and billing I would say transparency should be vitally important for a them since privacy concerns are going to be a large reason a lot of people are looking to switch from Google in the first place. It's always a concern brought up when search alternatives are discussed in forums and the "just trust me BRO" is going to start to ring kind of hollow if they play little games like this.

  • The cable lobby loves to bring up rural areas but when we gave them millions to build out they just took the money, said fuck it and did jack shit. I'm beginning to think that they prefer to under serve those areas and then use that as a bargaining chip to get everything they want.

  • Depends on the device I imagine. Way back in the olden days I remember pulling my NES along with a handful of games down from the tv stand because I caught a controller walking by. When Xbox introduced the break away cords it was a Godsend in our clumsy house.

  • Not an audiophile, but had experience with vinyl and CDs while growing up in the 90s and imo vinyl COULD sound better if you spent a lot of money on high end equipment. But with the equipment us normies had, the cds sounded much better. It had a much lower barrier if you didn't have a large amount of time and money to invest. I'd suspect things are similar now.
