Since moving our dev environment onto remove VMs, laptop choice has become much easier. Battery isn't drained as much by tests/VMs/containers, RAM isn't as much of a concern, mac ARM vs x86 isn't an issue anymore.
It seems like an ethical move if you agree with Peter Thiel's model of stagnant US. Since we don't grow anymore, the only way for advancement is for others to step aside. We're not creating new spots from expansion like in the 50s. So taking up high earning spots to accumulate above self sustaining amount is taking jobs from others that haven't reached their FIRE number (which could be seen as unethical).
This doesn't apply to new/growing fields like tech.
Bose QCII to tune out noise, Bose SoundWear Companion when it's too hot for the QCII, Plantronics Voyager Edge for calls on the go, and Jabra Halo Smart as a backup that lives in bag all the time.
As long as the frequency is between 1 and 10kHZ then well fitting earplugs should reduce the pressure level by 20 to 30dB. If you combine with earmuffs or noise cancelling headphones then that could approach 40dB [1]. Indeed the manufacturer of one system recommends that operators use hearing protection such as earplugs [2].
Ultrasonic? I thought the whole point of these devices is to produce ear-splitting tones that can actually be heard by humans.
From the article:
> According to a detailed teardown of the LRAD 300X posted by another audio technician, the LRADs produced by Genasys, the company that pioneered the devices, do not use an ultrasonic beam to project sound. However, Rife and Liberti say their design would still be effective against these hyper-directional blasts.
He bought 50k of Out of The Money PUTs expiring next day. So he bet AAPL would go down. When market opened AAPL went up and his 50k options would expire worthless at the end of day.
To get the leveraged money he bought stock and sold CALLs against it. RH has a bug where they give you credit for the premium collected instead of reducing buying power.
You can send it back, but (supposedly) if you do so they charge you a fee to send a tech out in the future. I say supposedly because it seems like a weed-out warning to reduce support tickets from people who made their own problems, but I haven’t had to find out since my Sonic fiber has been flawless for two years. There’s an ONT on the wall where the fiber comes through, providing one data jack and one phone jack. I just plug an ethernet cable between it and my FreeBSD router PC, request a DHCP lease on that interface, and go.
