Yeah, I’ve had two pairs of DT 770 Pros now, and they’re probably my favorite non-active-noise-cancelling headphones. Good passive isolation, comfortable, fairly light, durable.

I think that the cable used to be detachable and isn’t on current models, but my current model also cost significantly less, so…shrugs

If OP wants ANC headphones, though, which I assume he does if he’s looking at Momentum 4s, might not be what he wants.

Yeah, if you get the proprietary Android app, you can permanently turn that functionality off from an Android device. Took me ages to discover that. :-/

I don’t think that it’s a problem to have news-only communities. It’s easy enough to create communities that do do original content, and if people want that, then they can subscribe to it.

The OS will normally buffer writes in RAM when an application does a write, then when it has a bunch, do them all at once, so it’ll do a big chunk of one, then the other.

Also for some unusual filesystems, like, say it’s a log-structured filesystem, the actual data may just be more-or-less written forward for both of them.

Honestly, my experience is that Steam’s recommendation systems are not great. The average user rating usually more-or-less concurs with my opinion. If something is rated Overwhelmingly Positive, I’ll generally like it. The “More Like This” thing has on rare occasions been useful, though usually human recommendations for similar games from searching Reddit or similar has given much better results. But things like the recommendations queue are just terrible. They never turn up anything that I like.

I’ve had a Momentum 4 and a WH-1000XM5.

I was not happy with the Momentum, and can’t recommend it. I initially had some kind of connectivity problems with Linux. Then, it had a tendency to l cut out, which I eventually discovered was a problem with the infrared sensor in one cup used to detect whether you’ve taken the hesdphones off. When it fogs up with condensed sweat, apparently not enough IR light gets through and it thinks that you’ve taken the headphones off. I disabled that feature with the Android app. Then some problem came up where when moved slightly, it would play back loud, high-frequency “squeaky” sounds. Some sort of problem with the noise-cancelling setup. Oh, and I had problems with bumping the side triggering touch controls.

The XM5 was fine for me when used as headphones—and better noise cancellation than the Momentum 4. But when used as a headset, sometimes, especially when resting my head against a chair, the other party would say that I suddenly became muffled.

I currently use it as headphones, but pair it with a USB lapel mic when I need a mic.

to this day I have no idea how much the Flagg cost

https://www.reddit.com/r/gijoe/comments/11hld6f/how_much_did_the_uss_flagg_retail_for_when_it/

Mine was 109.99.

According to this and this, it came out in 1985.

Accounting for inflation, that’d be $342.42 in 2026 dollars.

2026 Midterm Elections
Tuesday, November 3, 2026
24 DAYS

Just a reminder to vote if you are eligible to vote in the up coming US midterms; we’re down a bit over three weeks. Voting by mail is, I think, already active in all states.

Sure. There’s also !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but that’s more-generalized to discussion over whether-or-not something is mod or admin abuse of power, and doesn’t deal specifically with those instances.

Yeah. If you’re not familiar with !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works, they have people submitting posts pretty similar to yours for lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml there.

Highly-educated voters also don’t like Trump and do very strongly turn up to vote, but they are a comparatively-small group (particularly in older generations), so they don’t, on their lonesome, have the clout to move the needle much. They need other people to also be getting ballots in as well.

Most potatoes require 200ml of rain or other water and this year they’ve had about 35ml. It’s also been incredibly warm. Potatoes don’t bulk up above 28°C. I think we’ve had 40 days above that."

Probably possible to genetically-engineer potatoes that can deal with drought better, given time and work.

The EU has historically had a pretty anti-genetic-engineering position, but (a) I understand that things have been slowly changing there in EU politics and (b) I don’t know whether Brexit and the TCA permit for broader use in the UK regardless.

From this Telegraph article, it sounds like the UK and EU are currently negotiating terms (that is, apparently this isn’t gonna depend on the TCA), so all this is gonna be in a state of flux, but it gives me the impression that gene-editing, a slightly-restricted form of genetic engineering, may be getting the thumbs-up.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10/01/uk-gene-edited-crops-to-be-spared-from-brussels-ban/

British and European negotiators are close to a deal that would save UK gene-edited crops from an EU ban.

Britain used Brexit freedoms to pioneer the crops, which are more resistant to drought and disease.

In an important breakthrough, two British farmers became the first in Europe to grow and harvest gene-edited crops in commercial field conditions this summer.

And on irrigation:

Back in Helmsley, Tim Rooke wants changes to planning laws to make it easier to build and run water storage lagoons, capturing winter rain and using it in the summer.

Even aside from that, my understanding from past reading is that the UK is now building some of the first new reservoir capacity in decades, so there is action there.

The areas new reservoirs will be finished first – and why they take so long to build

The UK is only just building its first reservoir in 30 years, with a further nine still years off construction

The nine reservoirs are planned across Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Suffolk, Kent, East Sussex and the West Midlands.

Some are further along than others. The White Horse reservoir, near Abingdon in Oxfordshire, and the Fens reservoir, near Cambridge, are the most advanced, though both remain in the planning and design stage, with White Horse expected to be completed by 2040 and the Fens by 2036.

2026 Midterm Elections
Tuesday, November 3, 2026
25 DAYS

If you are eligible to vote in the upcoming US midterm elections, please actually do so rather than sitting them out. People who have the right to vote, don’t like Trump, but then don’t bother to actually vote are a major reason for Trump being in office right now. Younger members of the electorate in particular generally do not vote. The elderly, on the other hand, very reliably vote.

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/26/voter-turnout-2020-2024/

Turnout in 2024 was, by US standards, high. But…there is still a very substantial chunk of the electorate that does not bother to vote.

The midterms will (probably, unless likely investigations turn up something sufficiently damning to get Republican votes for removal from office) not remove Trump from office prior to the end of his term. But they will trigger investigations and limit his power in various ways, like restricting his ability to fairly-freely replace cabinet members.
