When I was a teen I would literally spend all my day with earphones on, with music actually very loud (but not dangerously loud) guess I was lucky.
I worked in construction for a long time, and everytime I had to work with power tools I would just use some diy earplugs made with toilet paper, while it might sound hilarious it actually saved my hearing in the long run, for the ones who might ask why I didn’t use correct earplugs. Well, in dusty environments it’s actually better to use something cheap like paper mostly because you will be “burning” a ton of earplugs during the day and let’s face it I wasn’t in great shape regarding my finances, so every penny counted. Later on I would change jobs and actually buy decent earplugs so I could work nearby gas turbines.
Anyway long story short, use proper hearing protection because depending on the exposure you might actually lose your hearing without noticing it. As for tinnitus, besides the usual damage done by not using hearing protection, it can be genetic. My dad had tinnitus due to his exposure to power tools, but I know people who have it since birth.
Some last thoughts, I think younglings should be educated regarding hearing protection. I mean youth will be youth, but I’m pretty sure they don’t want to lose their hearing in the long run.
Best regards.
Great buy and upgrades, btw what is the model number of the RAM sticks? It’s actually useful if someone needs to buy compatible RAM.
Something by Edifier or Micca with an inbuilt amplifier. You can also check Creative Labs desktop multimedia speakers.
The no battery and mains powered pretty much nukes all good options I know, including the small one I actually bought for my own use (Marshall Emberton II).
Best regards.
Btw regarding the design, closest term I know on a similar design is the “racing stripe”.
People still use wrist watches? 🤭 Joking joking …
Why do we live in a situation where people think they need to buy a new phone yearly?!
They are conditioned by companies and also their piers to have the newest phone. Let’s keep in mind these companies spend thousands to study their clients, so they know how to manipulate them. A very good example (because it’s one of the most successful at conditioning their own users) is Apple, but there are many more like that, just not as successful. Apple users won’t admit it but the fact they watch Apple events like it’s something super important for them, only shows how very conditioned they are. In the end it’s not really very important, people are free to do what they enjoy and spend their money anywhere they like.
