Are adults really not supposed to financially helps their old parents?
  • Completely depends on if your parents are in your life, if they're good people and treat you with love and respect.

    Also depends on your parents financial status, as well as your financial status.

    Most people my age (Millenial) are not as well off as our parents so it wouldn't make sense to support them.

    There is no single answer to your question other than "it depends"

    Lemmy in a nutshell
  • Everytime I want to do something that I can only do in windows, I really have to consider if it's worth dealing with windows to do it.

  • Adapters are a cop out. Just put the adapters in the phone. It also means you can't charge and listen to music.

    Also while there are some natively wired usb-c headphones, I can't think of any. Any decent headphones will use a standard 3.5 or 6.5mm audio jack, and then the dac being built inwith those usb-c headphones means you can't use a seperate dac, it means you can't plug them into studio gear. It's just so incredibly limiting.

    There is already a universal standard (3.5mm/6.5mm jack) it carries analog audio, why change to a digital connection which requires digital to analog conversion? Why not let the user be able to have a dedicated piece of gear to do that if they wish.

    No professional equipment, or even semi professional equipment uses usb-c. It's a good old fashioned analog audio jack and it's like that for a reason

  • All these people saying they like wireless earphones are completely missing the point. Devices with headphones jacks can do both. Taking away the headphone jack means you have to rely on wireless earphones, which have all the issues the post describes.

  • I think having a single app that does that would be very inefficient compared to having an app like the one you're probably using, that can be configured to do exactly what you want.

    I want a soundbar
  • JBL bar series of soundbars are shockingly good for the price. I avoided soundbars for the longest time because I didn't trust it would be up to my standards but I'm very happy with mine.

    As for your record player, I'm sure you're probably aware but it's a very, very low-end record player. Basically toy level. I don't say this to insult you but so you don't get your hopes up on records sounding good on it. If you want good audio from records, next on your list should be upgrading to a nice turntable. Audio technica makes cheap turntables that are decent.

    what is your idea of a ideal first date?
  • Art gallery followed by some lunch, then visit a record store.

    This way you get to know the person's tastes in art and you can judge if you're compatible. If they don't like the art you like it's probably not a good fit. If they pick up a Taylor Swift album I know it's not gonna work.

    I think a person's taste in art is a very good indicator. And if they're not really into art or music then they're not a good match

    He doesn't know
  • IQ is useful for an individual to asses mental degradation. It's not useful to compare IQ to others, but to compare your own personal reaults, after something like a stroke or an accident where brain damage may have occurred.

    That being said, it needs to be a proper IQ test administered by a psychologist and not a random IQ test website
