  • Totally depends on your use-case. But for the best all-rounder that performs good in every genre and even videogames is the Philips Fidelio. X1 or x2hr, whichever you can get. Pretty cheap too. Skip the x3. I just bought my third one now and wear them like 3-10 hours a day. Super comfy too. IF you like open cans.

    But for classical music or so I would go for some more “serious” audiophile ones. I have some other cans for that ranging widely in prices.





  • I got a …don’t hit me…GoogleTV “smart” one recently and there’s absolutely no BS. With some fiddling one could replace the launcher and then there’s really not much left. As to tracking and stuff, there’s pihole and no WiFi, just LAN. And they don’t even try to escape local DNS.

    I explicitly wanted a google one, not some Samsung-shit who add their own garbage on top of Google’s garbage.

    But the best advice would be to buy the dumbest tv possible (are there even some left?) And then be free to choose which box to add to it. Which might also be google but exchangeable if annoying.





  • Thanks for the last sentence, I feared it might build up to this 😁

    I’d say in this old question “are we bodies or do we have bodies?” It’s the prior. Deduct your ability to question your existence and…you just do. A tardigrade does have that spark of life too. But what is it? Nothing special I’d argue. Us speculating about this is just the epitome of that spark. A gift, a curse (looking at how our species acts, I’d say the latter)…but just something that happened and multiplicated successfully.
