So this just happened..

Been using my Tozo Openbuds for nearly 2 years now and they have been nothing but reliable. I had terrible comfort issues with in ears or headphones that clamped too hard. These solved all those problems and I love them.

Today randomly I noticed this crack while taking them off. The earphones are working fine so I want to fix this but I am concerned about what glue I can use.

If the glue seeps out and makes the plastic rough then it will make my ear itchy which in turn will make this unusable.

Any solutions?? Tips on how I can repair this thing?

MacOS app no longer supports shift+return

I have been using the appstore version of the whatsapp app on my Macbook for more than a year and shift+return worked without a hitch.

Since yesterday I have noticed that something seems to have updated and now the app will no longer let me shift + return to move to the next line.

So I then experimented and found that rather than shift it's the option key now. So option + return moves to the next line.

Why would they do this? Absolutely nothing else uses option + return to go to the next line.

What weird AI vibe coded behaviour is this from the whatsapp devs? The app was bad enough as is.

Best uses for the Razer Kishi?

Hello! I have a Samsung Galaxy A52S with a Razer Kishi.

The device specs are Snapdragon 778G and 6gb of RAM. Purchased the Razer Kishi a while back and hardly used it.

Would love to know what you guys use your Kishi for so that I can get some ideas.

Magic mouse icon missing

I noticed this just now but why does MacOS show a generic mouse icon on the magic mouse battery indicator?

or is a bug and the laptop is detecting a it as a third party device?

Feels like something apple would have customised the way they do it for the airpods.

6 months of owning my first E-reader

I've always wanted an e-reader and after being tempted to buy a Kindle for years I finally decided to get ... a Clara!

It was a better deal, smaller than the paperwhite which I preferred and I appreciate that I can simply plugin this into my laptop and transfer files.

Reading experience:

Quite enjoy it! I am not an avid reader (yet) and sadly I've only managed 60 hours or so but the screen has felt great. The device is lightweight so it's much easier to read at night compared to holding an iPad.

The only thing I quite dislike about this is font sizes are a bar rather than numbers. Why Kobo??

Device performance:

Decent plastic build and comfortable to hold. However, the back has gotten slightly creaky over the last few months, it's super subtle but noticeable.

Battery life is not the "weeks" that I had heard of before I got an e-reader but I am happy with it. The kobo branded cable is a nice cute touch.

Accessories:

Abysmally expensive cases where I live. Kindle has much better availability and while the official cases are sold they're like 30% of the device cost which makes no sense to me.

Store experience:

I feel like amazon offers a better experience in terms of purchasing books. They also tend to be cheaper. But overall it's a tradeoff that I am okay with considering the other benefits.

Conclusion:

Love my Clara. Wish it had better accessories available near me and the back did not have the creaking. Beyond that I have no complains besides the font size UI.

The only issue is me now because I haven't been able to build a strong reading habit yet.

Got my R36S months back to play some Pokemon but haven't touched it since. Need some recs.

Grew up on PC games like Stronghold, NFS, etc so while Gameboy doesn't exactly hit the same level of nostalgia for me, I do have a soft spot for handhelds.

What's are some suggestions for getting the most out of a R36S and some of your fav game recs too.

I feel like I'm letting it go to waste by not using it much.
