@finkrat @Melatonin if you read it’s output and learn nothing then you’ve only saved yourself time, if you don’t understand and learn nothing, then you shouldn’t use it because you can’t vouch for it

@Melatonin @plactagonic just be sure to double check all references for hallucinations
@Melatonin just leaving this here…
@Murdoc Oh yeah! And that’s how “regenerative braking” works!
@shootwhatsmyname Two parts, the easier to chew is that Microphones are basically just speakers wired backwards.
The second part is Solar Panels are basically just LEDs wired backwards.
(In both cases there’s a lot of design work around them to make them better at one task than the other, but the technology is still the same)
@lauha @shootwhatsmyname Special interests
@Tsun In the US there’s little to gain really, being autistic is both for and against you and formal diagnosis applies to both ends equally.
It gets used in child custody hearings to take children away from parents, conservatorships to take away our rights, etc.
And for accommodations, depends on your state. Half the country has “at-will-employment” laws, which practically means you have zero protections, so a diagnosis doesn’t offer much help there.
@cogitoprinciple Yeah, unfortunately it rules me out of having any information since I’m in the US
@cogitoprinciple it’ll help a lot if you edit to include what country you’re in
@SuddenDownpour Pathologizing aside, this matches up with another thing I’ve seen pointed out as an autistic trait that backs this up: value based identity vs group based identity.
Allistics typically tie their identity up in the groups they’re a part of: family, work, church, town/city/state, etc
Autistics tie our identity up in our values: what we do, impacts we’ve made, accomplishments tied to our values
This is why you hear things like “snitches get stitches” because group loyalty is considered more critically important than values, or how we’re seen as turning on the group when we call out how the group could be improved.
This would especially make sense in the mentioned study because when you take away the group it takes away the impact to their identity while our identities don’t care if someone is watching.
@thezeesystem I feel you, these are the best I’ve gotten. They also have in-ear which I’ve used and are equally good.
App isn’t required, but very recommended (firmware updates, calibrating the audio and noise cancelling to your hearing, managing multipoint ie. switching connections between devices)
Also has incredible pass through mode (allowing you to optionally hear people without taking them off, almost as good as without wearing them at all imo).
Plus insane battery life, advertised as 40 hours… enough that by the time I get the low battery warning I’ve completely forgetten when I charged them last.
