  They make excellent electronics parts bins, too.

  Thank you for asking this, you just reminded me of an adjacent question I have.

  As for silicone ones vs. plastic: I can never get the plastic ones to stay in, and they also have just about 0 bass since they don’t seal, so in that sense I prefer silicone ones.

  However I don’t get how people can do any movement with them in and not get annoyed by the very loud rumbling noise they make since they seal up the ears. Walking, and even touching the wires… any slight movement of the earbuds against the ear is very loud.

  My ideal solution are not fully sealing silicone buds so they stay in but don’t do that very loud rumbling. Unfortunately that’s nigh impossible to get.

  Anyone else have trouble with that?

  I have 2700k spots at my work desk’s soldering station, I honestly couldn’t tell you why but I prefer it. Maybe because I’ve always had warm lighting when soldering. Makes me wanna get neutral or cold spots and try that for a change.

  For me the bigger issue is light intensity, I swear the old lighting setup at that work desk was as bright as a grave light… dunno how anyone could use that.

  Firefox for Android still defaults to this. I don’t understand.

  His mind has to have been blown all along to think this way and be so disconnected.

  A bit offtopic about a pet peeve of mine, but this is why it’d be super nice if social media that end up getting screenshot had absolute timestamps. Thank you for letting us know.

  Modern LED bulbs tend to overdrive the LEDs to a point where they last about as long as incandescent bulbs in my experience. It also allows them to use fewer LEDs, driving cost down. They could last so much longer…

  I do like to buy high power ones (100W equivalent ones), open them, and lower the drive current by increasing the driver shunt’s resistance. I haven’t had a single one of those fail. (Don’t do this unless you’re a professional, mains power stuff can be fatal!)

  I found this on it; still need to read through it. Some sort of lithium battery technology, it seems.
