Cybersecurity employee training that includes chatbots? I know, I know. I should ask this in technology or something but what im really looking for is more business related. Im looking for those duh, duh, kind of employee training but updated with the dangers of chatbots. Things like don't paste in private or confidential data, don't trust its answers are right, ask questions generally and move down to specifics, etc. etc. And yes I did ask a chatbot for the answer.
I have a set of Bose QuietComfort earbuds I wear daily for workouts. I finally killed them and in the market for something new. I'm looking for higher end name-brand earbuds which would work for my exercising needs (bicycle rides, and gym workouts). ANC is necessary (but pretty common on all the top brands/TWS earbuds these days).
I was thinking about the Bose QC2 as it would be the logical upgrade, but I've heard mix reviews about them and I can't figure out if it was just a bad batch of earbuds or if it's a poorly designed product.
I guess the Sony XM4's would be a logical alternative but I don't know how comfortable they are for exercising
Edit - Android user, so apple airpods aren't an ideal option
I also use AirPod pros, for like everything, including workouts (when I’m stuck in the gym instead of outside).
Noise cancelling is great. It’s obviously not perfect, but it works very well (kids obnoxious high pitched squeals are the biggest one that gets through, but it would on just about any headphone).
They are pretty comfy once you get the right tip on them. They stay in pretty well. I can move around a lot, bend over, squats, all that. The only real time I find myself having to push them back in is when I’m running on the treadmill pretty hard. I’ve actually had one fall out, hit the treadmill, and become a little missile. It survived without a scratch.
Sound quality is pretty amazing for how tiny the thing is. I’m pretty impressed with the range (with realistic expectations).
The are surprisingly durable. Mine have gotten wet, as I said, been a little missile, in my pockets bouncing around, been dropped, I think I also stepped on one of these ones. The case is also nice and durable. Definitely dropped that thing a few times.
The battery life is great, and the mag charging case makes it even easier to charge.
They pair with my watch and I don’t need me phone to listen to stored music (on the watch). Super convenient.
If you use iPhone I really have to recommend the airpod pros. They’re seamless connectivity is second to none and the 2nd generation has a speaker so you can make them ring if you lose them. Also fantastic siri support.
Very hard to say weather they’ll fit. They regularly fall out of my mum’s ears but I can wear them all day and they only come loose if I take off my jumper.
@ike according to ernest it stems from /sbin. though one of the early instances was named karabin based on the karabine gun and thus shortened to kbin (or rather expanded from kbin).
Hot sleepers, have you had any real world success with cooling blankets that give you that good weighted-down feeling but don’t reduce you to a sweaty blob by morning?
Is it possible to stop the screen from rotating on the Kbin app when my phone rotates? I have my phone settings so it shouldn't rotate from vertical to horizontal but for some reason only the app does it, anyone know if this can be turned off?
What are some tips for dealing with solicitors (door-to-door salespeople)? Our neighborhood gets a lot of them.
We have a “No solicitors” sign hanging on the front door. Nevertheless, they knock, ring the doorbell, or worse, yell through the front window when it is open, trying to get our attention.
We have a Ring video doorbell and have enabled the automatic “Sorry, we’re not interested” announcement after 15 seconds. These pushy SOBs ignore the sign and the announcement.
When I ultimately find out they are soliciting and I ask why they ignored both the sign and the doorbell announcement, they usually say something like, “I’m not selling anything. I am just working with some people in the neighborhood…” or some such BS.
My wife and I work from home and have had to explain the window shouting to coworkers in meetings. We also have two small children who could be trying to nap at any given time. We have good reasons to not want to be disturbed at home and these assholes disregard that wish.
I will write a negative review online if I find out their name and company they are representing. Any other ways to get these people to leave us alone?
why do threads that reference articles on outside sites redirect to kbin and not the outside site? (for example, worldnews often shows the external news site, but clicking the link takes you to a kbin.social post showing all the threads referencing that news site, not the actual site and story itself)
I would love to hear a good answer to this question. My mother-in-law is hitting some serious dementia, and I have very mixed feeling about how to proceed.
I’ve been in the same situation before, and someone once told me not to set myself on fire to keep other people warm.
Do what you can, but not at the expense of your health and sanity. You are not a bad person for keeping an arms length away from your abusers. If anyone says otherwise, tell them they are welcome to tend to said family member instead. Your abusers are not entitled to anything from you, and you have every right to stay safe from them.
So I created a magazine (which is similar to a subreddit, correct?) - what now? How do I even find my own? They don't show anywhere in my profile nor do I see any moderator tools, etc.
@acunasdaddy you can find magazines by searching from https://kbin.social/magazines. The Articles posted to the magazines you subscribe to show up in your feed. Microblogs are just aggregate content from the Fediverse. The moderation tools are limited, but what exists can be found by clicking the Magazine Panel button.
All of Kbin is very much a work in progress. A lot of things work as expected. Some don't. Be patient and pay it forward by helping others figure this out when you can.
I'm not familiar with Kbin much but just had a look at your profile from a not-logged-in person's pov. In the right hand sidebar are some stats about you including one that just says "moderated" with a 3 next to it. The 3 is a clickable link that seems to take me to a list of your created magazines.
Not sure if there's a simpler way to get to it when you're actually logged into Kbin though.
Why is my phone screen's orientation failing to stay locked and how do I fix it?
I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. This usually only happens a few times a week, but my phone seems to be very confused by kbin. I have to hold it vertically or it will switch to landscape orientation every single time. It's annoying. Any ideas?
@HotDogFingies on kbin specifically (if you're using the progressive web app PWA) it currently bypasses your phones landscape or portrait lock. Even on my phone with Android 13, if I've switched off auto rotation and rotate the site it still rotates
That's apparently a bug that's going to be fixed at some point.
Adding /d/domain-name-goes-here to kbin's normal web address will take you to that instance's "homepage" and you can block it there. For example, https://kbin.social/d/feddit.de
Keep in mind, this will only block posts coming from that instance, so you'll still be seeing comments from those users elsewhere, but it should take care of a good deal of it on your feed if you don't mind losing out on the three or four communities there that aren't in german
Thanks for the help! I know how to block an instant but I'm looking to block every instance in the same top level domain, so anything ending in ".de" so that I don't have to manually block several instances. If it's not possible yet that's fair, I know Ernest has a shit ton on his plate.
