Most over-ear noise cancelling headphones I've seen have a 3.5mm input that works with the noise cancelling.

they built a model specifically to work well on the benchmarks.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that's what everyone is doing. If you're not measuring against something, there's no way to tell if you're doing anything at all.

What the fuck, who changed that? Seems like a horrible idea.

Another point is that if the dam is 10m tall, it has to be built to withstand 10m of water. just because it sits at 5m most of the time doesn't mean a heavy rain couldn't raise the level, and if the dam collapses that's going to be catastrophic vs just spilling over the top.

Unfortunately it's my least favorite part. It's good motivation to take better photos in the first place though.

There must be at least one scenario where it's improved 26%, otherwise it's a lie.

Personally I'd be happy if I never had to touch a micro-USB device ever again. Mini-USB is somewhat acceptable, but USB-C blows the rest out of the water. It's unquestionably the better USB standard

Most of those are legit, but I do take issue with the pregnancy test one. Replacing the original electronics with entirely new hardware doesn't really count. A pregnancy test screen only has 3 or 4 LCD segments.

The smart bulb one at least partially counts, since it's using the original processor from the bulb just with a display and buttons added.

That would be USB 2.0 and is pretty safe to assume that all USB ports and cables support this (If you can find a USB 1.0 or 1.1 port I'll be impressed). Why bother with a 480Mbps logo if it's the default minimum?

Grammar is the least of your concern if you're letting the magic smoke out

 

I was on a road trip through the prairies and had to stop on the side of the road to watch the northern lights. The entire sky in all directions was lit up. I was able to take this shot with the big dipper visible.
