    Just had the same problem with my LucidSound LS45 … the headband is metal, I saw the recommendation to get them in one of those “buy it for life” threads so I did …

    Turns out that the end caps of the headband are plastic and prone to breaking … I was able to save them by buying a non working “parts only” set on eBay and replacing the parts

    This thing has been with me for 8 years and counting … they’ve been along for 3 motherboards, 2 cars and 6 girlfriends LOL

    I’m OK with this as long as the MANAGERS that get paid for MANAGING the project and make sure that there’s enough resources and the goals are met do their job … the problem is when they promise a bunch of deliverables and hire 1 senior dev with a couple of interns … good fucking luck.

    I’m a paid employee … as far as I’m concerned SLAs and deadlines are someone elses problem. I get paid to come in and do my job for 8 hours, which I do … everything else Is someone else’s problem.

    Otherwise I’d be consulting or starting my own fucking company.

    There are a few extremist, toxic and NSFW communities you may want to block on your normal browsing account, you can do so in settings.

    Which ones? Oh don’t worry, you’ll find out. Just be on the lookout for the @something.TLD part of the posts that make you think “WTF” when you see the same a couple of times … you know to block that one.

    10 year veteran, infrastructure engineer here. I’m basically a service desk for other engineers that don’t specialize in my product.

    I get entry level questions EVERY day, not IT entry level, entry level computer literacy questions like “how do I attach a screenshot?” “I lost my password”

    A) We have one of the best knowledge bases in the industry. No one uses it.

    B) These are security engineers for fortune 500 financial institutions asking these questions.

    It’s service desk all the way up my dude … I thought I would be free from that curse when I stooped supporting end users, nope, B2B it’s just as bad.

    Anyways, the one trick that I’ve found works for me is to imagine I’m talking to my little nephew, that way you summon the patience, lower your expectations and probably end up treating the customer with a bit more delicacy.
