What is really interesting is that I can put comfortable earplugs in to cut outside sounds off and put the bone conduction earphones on and can still hear my music perfectly. I was in a 20 seater turboprop plane over the weekend and with the earplugs in and music going I could barely hear the engine.
I’m leaving my management job in the city next month to move north 6 hours away and live in a small town with a mortgage that will be half as much for an acre instead of a townhouse with no grass. I wrote a proposal to do a order entry job for less money but work from home but my boss wants everyone in order entry to work in the office. So they chose to lose 9 years of company and product knowledge because they don’t want me to work from home in case people who have been there less time might want to work from home too.
Shockz bone conducting headphones have a two tone pink version of their high end Openrun Pro and their lower end Openmove has a pink/white version.
It is nice to hear music but still hear your surroundings for safety.
I once had a charge for Air Canada on my credit card. I immediately called in to the fraud number and said my number had been stolen. They asked me how I knew. I said I would never in my life fly on Air Canada unless there was no choice. They laughed and canceled the charge.
Enshittification
First, they make a service good for the customer even at a loss so customers don’t want to go other places. ✅
Second, they use the information gathered from you to sell to companies to make money off you. In Amazon’s case they are now so big they don’t need to sell your info but they do it anyways. ✅
Third, they screw the companies and the users to make the money all for themselves. In Amazon’s case they fuck sellers by making Amazon branded copies of best selling items to cut their third party stores out of business by putting their copies first in the search results.✅
Read Cory Doctorow’s books about enshittification.(also read his fiction, Little Brother, for a great fast paced dystopian terrorist novel.
What system do you have and how many cameras. We are moving north and I wanted to get a POE system and am looking for recommendations. Obviously Costco has some options but they are going to be pretty basic and have iffy reviews.
There is a good CBC Marketplace video where they went to Africa somewhere and found all these cars for sale, checked the gloveboxes and found the insurance papers, then called the people who’s cars were stolen.

How long until the first subjects start beating their skulls against a wall like the chimps did?
If they randomly decided on checking the Kurdish community for a suspect then it might be more questionable but they had DNA from sperm found in the dead body of a 13 year old that matched markers found in Kurdish people.
I’m more surprised that they didn’t find that the DNA had matches to the victim since they were siblings but they didn’t mention anything about that in the article.
