Is there actually no solution to the !LOUD! BATTERY LOW alerts in Bluetooth headsets!!!????

I searched far and wide internet. Cannot find one solution. I need help, i purchased a expensive bt headset and it has the same LOUDNESS that the cheap ones have.

There is no getting used to this, it just LOUD 📢 and not tolerable. and this expensive one that i have gotten also REPEATS BATTERY LOW every 30 seconds, it starts saying it from 30%.

The price of my friend's pro baseball season's tickets went up by over $100,000 so now he has to cut his Spanish vacation down to only 10 weeks next winter.

We're switching over to my stepson's Plex to watch shows so we can get rid of cable, but when I'm watching a series I have to reset the captions/subtitles every single time, *and* sometimes they don't sync up so I don't understand all the dialogue.

I had an iPhone, got a Samsung but I don't know if I regret it

I'm a very techy person and I was getting sick of the IOS interface and just lack of customization, but to be honest, after having my Samsung after a few months, I've found im not using all the 'exclusive' features all that much and im starting to miss tiny conveniences and social abilities that were on iPhone and im not finding myself on my phone that much. I've looked at selling this phone but even though its only a year old, the second hand price has gone down by like 60%!

My Umbrella

When I use my umbrella, the little strap hangs in front of my eye line. If I twist the umbrella to move it, the handle isn’t as comfy. I need a new umbrella.

The internet speed and laptop speed at work is so much slower than what I am used to at home.

I got the 1gbps FIOS plan because my previous WFH job was paying for it. Now, at my new job, I have to work with 1/3rd the internet and laptop processing speeds that I have become used to for the past 4 years. :-(

My weighted heated blanket stopped working

I’m 364 days into my 365 day warranty and my weighted heated blanket stopped working. I always fall asleep with it on and last night was the first night without it. I tried just laying it on me for the weight, but I really need the heat also. I contacted the manufacturer who is working on replacing it but how long am I expected to attempt to sleep like this?

When I fire up "Find my Device" on my tablet, to locate my lost phone, by default the device it offers to find is the tablet itself.

I went with my dad on a work trip to Thailand 1 month ago. I came back and have been secretly planning to go back after I graduate. Today, my dad announced to me that he plans to take a six-week sabbatical to Thailand soon! Guess where he's been working this past week?

I feel so weird about going now. Like I'm from a straight-laced, cultural, Christian family, and I was already embarrassed about going by myself. Now I'm just thinking about how it will look to my mom(separated) and sisters and our church if both men in the family take separate*,* lengthy vacations to Thailand in the same year after having been there, together, at the beginning of the year?

Also, I felt like I had an "awakening" over there. Like a weird, unique, spiritual experience. From what my dad was telling me, I suspect that he's thinking the same thing! Ugh, I feel so stupid. And now this whole experience feels a little lame. I'm so bummed. Thailand was meant to be MY thing!

Maybe I'll go to Vietnam or something but, ugh, it won't be the same!

The hot water dispenser is broken in the break room and I accidentally filled my cup noodles with cold water.

I had to dump it out, and refill it from the other dispenser on the other end of the building. Now I’m eating bland noodles with all the flavoring washed away.

In 2024 some websites require www.example.com and example.com doesn't work

(I did a search and found this topic from 11 years ago so I figured it was safe to post again.)

I just ran into a website I bought some stuff from, and I typed in their domain from memory and Chrome couldn't load it. I typed www. in front and it loaded just fine.

Extra level first world problem: Sigh. I just tried hitting the non-www address to see what the error exactly was and the website loaded just fine. At least that didn't happen during a live demo!

Regardless of this website apparently being only kind of weird about this, it's still a thing in 2024.

Though these days it seems to mostly be smaller sites that are likely not run by tech experts. It's probably fair enough that many wouldn't realize that example.com and www.example.com would both need to be set up if they're techy enough to figure things out but still not an expert.
