What’s the best Bluetooth over-ear headphone brand? I’d appreciate any recommendations based on your experience.

Hello all I’m looking to power this asus nuc 15 pro + at 150 watt requirement using a portable power bank. The only restrictions that I have are that it can’t be too deep (ideally no more than an inch preferably less). The longer it can last on a single charge the better. If anyone has any better ideas other than a power bank please let me know as I am sort of stumped

Hi! I’m trying to transcribe a few meditation recordings for a spiritual studies course. The MP3s are 20–25 minutes each and have underlaid background music throughout — which makes them hard to listen to and even harder to process with AI voice readers.

I’ve tried some free tools (like Whisper, Vocal Remover, etc.), but most either limit files to 10 minutes, rate-limit my uploads, or make me pay to access the full text. I also tried incognito mode — still no luck.

All I want is a tool that’ll give me a full transcript of the spoken content, music or no music, ideally without needing an account or paying.

Does anyone know a reliable, actually free transcription option that can handle longer, slightly noisy files?

Thanks in advance — I’m just trying to read the material instead of suffering through the narrator’s dramatics and new age flute loops 😭🙏

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about a concept for a unique AiO computer that combines classic retro design (inspired by the iMac G3 and vintage CRT displays) with modern functionality. The idea is to create a monitor with a 16:10 aspect ratio where you buy only the chassis—including the display—with dedicated space at the back for user-installed components (motherboard, GPU, CPU, etc.).

Here are a few questions I’d appreciate feedback on:

• Would this be a viable alternative to traditional desktops or current AiOs? Would you consider buying it?
• Do you think there’s demand for such a solution?
• Do you have any concerns about integrating all components into one unit, particularly regarding serviceability or upgradeability?
• What do you see as the main advantages and drawbacks of such a design?
• What features would be a must-have for you?

I appreciate any comments, suggestions, or constructive feedback you can offer.

Hello everyone, I have owned a Galaxy S22 base model for a year and a half. Since purchasing it, I have had a camera protector installed, but I am now finding it difficult to remove. The protector has curved edges, and I suspect that the adhesive may have melted due to the heat last summer. I would appreciate any assistance with removing it as I have already tried using credit cards, dental floss, and my fingernails without success.

I have a Motorola G42 that occasionally restarts itself out of nowhere. I had the same problem last year and they changed the battery (it had a hard blow and the battery swelled), I thought it wasn't going to happen again but now it's starting to reboot again, it happens that I play a video, the audio starts to cut out and it just freezes and restarts. I don't want it to end up like last year when it went into a reboot loop and I couldn't get the phone back on, but I really don't know what else to do and I don't have money to buy a new one or change the battery again. Does anyone know what I can do? Could it be because it has almost no storage space? Or because it's already old and dying?

Hi, how can I download this subscription course? I don’t want to keep paying for it

I have a TV and an Android (connected to internet) at location A and another Android (connected to wifi router) At location B , can I use these 2 Androids as bridge so that virtually TV at location A is connected to wifi router at location B?

I currently have residential fiber internet (1 Gbps) and recently added Verizon 5G Home Internet, which guarantees 200 Mbps. Surprisingly, Verizon seems to perform better overall, though it has slower upload speeds. I mainly use the internet for streaming TV and multiple devices, but I also game regularly. Just wondering how the differences might affect me — any input is appreciated! Verizon 5g Ping: 38ms Download: 303.94 mbps w/ 98%stability Upload: 26 mbps w/ 84% stability Ziply fiber Ping: 43ms Download: 146.76 mbps w/ 92% stability Upload: 212.32 mbps w/ 94% stability

Our work calendar has always been able to sync to our iPhone calendar app, Google calendar, etc. this year when it was created, someone chose to create it as a Group Calendar which is different than how it had been done in the past. Now, the only way we have found to sync our personal calendars with the work calendar is to have everything sync to Outlook, which none of us prefer. Does anyone know a way to make this work other than having to use Outlook as the platform for everything? It’s causing us to miss appointments and double book having to check 2 calendar apps and the Outlook one is really not good. We have reached out to the person who keeps the calendar and they prefer it to be listed under group, so asking them to move it out of a group is not an option.

I’m a psychology master’s student at Stockholm University, currently researching how AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. affect people’s sense of support, collaboration, and productivity in the workplace, including IT, tech, remote, and freelance jobs.

I’m really curious:
If you’ve used an LLM like ChatGPT for work in the past month, how has it shaped your workflow or made you feel more (or less) supported in what you do?

Has it:

• Helped you troubleshoot or solve problems faster?
• Made you feel more “independent” or maybe even “less alone”?
• Changed the way you interact with coworkers or clients?

Your thoughts would be really valuable to the discussion.

As part of this, I’m also running a short anonymous voluntary academic survey (~10 mins) to better understand these experiences: https://survey.su.se/survey/56833

This is:

• For my official thesis
• 100% anonymous and non-commercial
• University ethics approved
• May help me get into a PhD in Human-AI interaction

Eligibility:

• 18+
• Currently employed (any job role)
• Used an LLM in the past month
• Comfortable in English

Feel free to just comment your experiences if you don’t want to do the survey, I’m around to chat and happy to hear any input!

Thanks a lot for reading and wish you a nice weekend.

I’m 14 and I was in chrome and I don’t know if my phone is hacked or anything and I’m scared because it’s happened multiple times and my camera and mic randomly goes off and I think im hacked what do I do to fix it I’m really scared :(

Hi

I keep seeing articles claiming that AI waste a lot of water

I understand that the data centers use a lot of water, but why is this "waste" - is it because it uses fresh water that would otherwise be used for human consumption and turn them into non-drinkable water? If so - how?

Or - something else?

Thanks

This seems like nonsense to me. My kid lost her phone at school (Galaxy Se 20). Someone suggested I use samsung find my phone app. Except…when I tried to sign in to her Samsung account from my computer it insisted I need a 2FA code to sign in (texted to…the lost phone!) I chatted to support and they suggested we go get a new SIM from the wireless provider to get the 2FA code. Is this for real? Seems highly inefficient to me?

Years ago my grandfather had a set of speakers that would sit on either side of his recliner and play the sound from the TV remotely. I'm trying to find another set for him, but I am having trouble finding something similar. All the new ones I see are purely wireless. They have a base that plugs into the TV to send the signal to the speaker and also serves as a charging point for the speaker. The speaker would have to live near the TV, be taken off the charger for each use and replaced on the base after. The old speaker set was powered from the wall with a separate transmitter that plugged into the TV, allowing the speakers to stay permanently placed near the chair.

Does anybody have any product suggestions that would match the old speakers?

I have 2 old monitors that I want to keep just because they are in good condition. I want to start online coursework soon and also become a gamer with a computer (I have a PS4 that I am sick of playing so want to start playing on a desktop).

I want a nice desktop that can handle gaming and everything. I want to be able to game and also do coursework or read the news at the same time.

What is the nicest curved computer monitor over 32 inches wide for me? I also would like a mouse and keyboard that are wireless and are silent (I despise the sound of a mouse clicking and the noise of a keyboard clicking).

Last question would be what is a good computer chair to sit at for several hours? I already have a nice lamp and also have a desk that can move up and down. Just need everything else.

Last stupid question would be what can be done with the 2 monitors I already have? Can I connect them to the new desktop I will be getting and create a 3 monitor system somehow?

Was always told you should never put magnets near tech but it doesn't seem like it would do much so it is really that bad?

(I know this is a dumb question)

Hey! I'm an engineering student working on a project. I have my InstruNet DAQ hooked up to my computer and a simple quarter Wheatstone bridge for the strain gauge. My sensor report hasn't come back with any errors but I'm not getting any output from my sensor in the InstruNet software. I've tried the system with & without a wiring box. Any ideas or suggestions as to why I'm not getting an output reading?

We just bought an old lobster pound with a dam in Maine that has water rushing in and out 24/7. We want to install a water turbine for renewable energy. We don't know where to start with turbine, battery, connection to grid, etc. Any advice welcome!

How can I use my headphones as a microphone and my laptop's speakers as the output? I tried selecting them manually, but both show up as one device. I also tried changing it to "Mic In" from the Realtek advanced settings, and it did what I wanted, but the headphone mic barely detects anything and is practically unusable.
