I'm a Christian, husband, and father of 7 (biological and adoptive), geek of all trades (master of none), wannabe maker. Morlock.
Political leaningIf you can tell, then I’m doing something wrong.
@videograndpa Yeah, wouldn’t be blasting them. Just need to hear, not *experience*.
@videograndpa Thank you! That’s exactly the info I was looking for. I probably will avoid the Grado however because I am really not a fan of on-ear. I use some JBL Tune500BT phones at work, and after a while using those my ears just hurt. It’s the glasses. On-ear doesn’t play well with them. Also, I think I’d prefer closed since I’m toying with the idea of recording. I picked up a decent little mic setup that I can’t wait to test.

@videograndpa Nice! May have to grab some.

I need to look into some halfway decent studio headphones for myself. Any budget recs?

@shawnp0wers Got it. Well, I’m less interested in a ragtop, but if you want to move one, I would legitimately like to be a part of the conversation.

The way things are going, that part will likely consist of “good luck selling”, but a guy can hope, right?

@shawnp0wers How much do you want for the hard top to help you fund the EV?

It’s happening again, and I have no idea what fixed it last time anymore. Except this time I also can’t see my router, because it claims to not be connected to the internet. Yet I’m remotely accessing the local computers from across town.

What I really want from technology these days is passivity. Physical buttons, and PASSIVITY.

No guessing, no anticipating, no predicting.
No autofill, no autocorrect, no autodrive and PLEASE God no autoplay.

Just be inert until acted upon!

I'm stuck between near luddites, and genuine geniuses with nobody on my mediocre middle level to talk to.
Everyone around me thinks I am some kind of computer wizard, except I see so many people on here that are genuine wizards, where I just have a little project ambition and a pro-grade ability to google well. When I run into stupid issues like I can't log into this computer via RDP, I feel like an absolute idiot still, while the people around me just think it's some kind of magic to even think about remote access.

This is why I love @IceCubesApp so much. The AI image alt-text generation saves so much time. I usually have to tweak it a touch, but the majority is taken care of automatically.

Sometimes I mute people who never use alt text and I know I'm often behind on adding mine, plus mine isn't world-class....but as the mother of a partially-sighted son, and a supporter of as much access to information as possible: Please take the time to add alt text.
