I'm putting myself out there, ladies.

Some info about me, I'm a young man from Italy and France (yes, I have two nationalities), and I've lived in several different countries throughout my life, meeting and befriending people of all walks of life. This has given me a level of open-mindedness that not many people my age attain. I studied arts, and I have a passion for all things audiovisual. I gravitate towards media from before my time, so I'm sure I have a lot to talk about with older people for that reason. My general culture is a little more curated and oriented towards the 20th century/Y2K. Definitely more so than the average person from my generation, I'd say.

I've always had an eye for women older than my age bracket. I never fought against this preference, I enjoy the company of adults who have many more years in the pocket immensely, but I've never had the courage to actually seek out a relationship with a mature woman. I imagine someone who has much experience in life, with stories to tell, and confidence to exude.

I've dated and had flings with girls my age, and I have had many fulfilling experiences and learning moments thanks to them. I feel I am ready to move on to what I've been really yearning for, though, and that's a cougar.

I'd appreciate a virtual exchange to begin with, I don't mind if you're a long distance away, including different continents. Let's see how much we click together.

DM me, I'll be waiting. Until then!

I feel like I'm going crazy. I can't, for the life of me, find any section within the Spotify app or my Spotify account where I can see a full list of all the songs and albums I hid or excluded from my account's taste profile. Can someone help me?

I feel like a button that can so easily get missclicked on, (especially when it's right next to something like the sleep timer, a function I use nightly), should at least have a dedicated section for undoing that missclick for every track you did it to.

I have a mix of apps installed on my Pixel 8 Pro. Is there an application (on the Play Store or side loaded) or a method on stock Android that can filter the apps I have installed by where I got them from? As in, separating the apps I downloaded from the Play Store and the apps I sideloaded from .apk packages?

I am trying to access the System Services page in the Google services section of the Settings app. Accessing the page reveals a big load of nothing. A blank, barren, grey page. I don't know why, and it's been like this for a few days, now. Slightly frustrating. I also don't seem to be receiving the July Google Play system update. Anyone else having these issues? Is there a remedy? Thank you in advance.

I refuse to believe that there isn't a way to replace the battery of the HDB 630 at home like Sennheiser officially says. I own an iFixIt toolkit, and I've done upgrades to my laptop as well as giving it regular deep cleans. I am not afraid to crack open a pair of headphones to swap the battery if there's no soldering involved. How hard is it to replace the battery yourself, really?

I'm very close to buying the HDB 630, but as an owner of the Momentum 4, I'm afraid of finding out if one of its flaws carried over to the HDB 630, that being the fabric textile over the headband slowly coming apart as the glue loses its adhesion.

I've had my first Momentum 4 RMAd because of this very annoying aesthetic issue, and once the fabric started coming off the second pair I accepted that this is just a design oversight that I simply have to live with.

Is this issue present with the HDB 630's Japanese leatherette? How has it been fixed onto the headband this time around? I realize that it's a little early to ask about the HDB 630's build quality when it has only been out for less than a year, but I'll throw my question out there anyway before I decide to buy my next pair of cans.

I own the Momentum 4, and I find It really convenient that even if the cans run out of battery you can continue to listen to music through the passive 2.5mm connection. I really adore this feature.

​

I read a comment from one of the reviewers on this subreddit that the HDB 630 (as well as the Momentum 5) don't have the ability to output audio passively through their 2.5mm connection unlike their predecessor.

​

Is this really the case? I'm planning on buying one of these headphones now that my M4 is getting old, but this regression is a potential deal breaker.

I asked a similar question when a Sennheiser representative was doing a sort of AMA in the subreddit, but their answer was expectedly vague:

"[...] The drivers in MOMENTUM 4 Wireless, MOMENTUM 5 Wireless and HDB 630 are the same and are inspired by our acclaimed HD 600 series of wired audiophile headphones. However, HDB 630 includes modifications to other acoustic elements that contribute to its more neutral tuning, while MOMENTUM 4 and MOMENTUM 5 are more similar in that regard. A parametric EQ can help bring their tonal balance closer together, but because the overall acoustic design is different, we wouldn't expect them to become technically identical in every aspect of their sound. [...]".

When they say "other acoustic elements" and "overall acoustic design", what does that entail?

Are we talking more about the physical aspects of the headphone? The physical volume of the chassis? The driver placement in regard to the earcups? In that sense, I can understand how the sound waves would propagate differently inside the casing, with two designs giving different results when compared.

But are they also referring to possible technological additions/digital tuning, audio processing magic that change the way the audio is numerically treated before the audio is outputted besides a local/in-device APO/EQ? If that is the case, can these tunings be neutralized using a paraEQ effectively?

In other words, can you make the Momentum 5 sound like the HDB 630? What's really limiting the Momentum 5 from achieving the same quality of sound reproduction as the HDB 630 if they are effectively using the same, unmodified drivers? What are these modifications to other acoustic elements that make the HDB 630 sound so neutral and great in sound reproduction?

All of this so that I can decide between buying either the M5 or the HDB 630. Already the proud owner of the M4, but they're getting old.

That search bar has been plaguing the bottom of my Pixel 8 Pro's screen for too long. We recently found out that some beta version of Android 17 has this toggle implemented. I'm hoping the toggle is included with the first release version of Android 17 as well.

The app is functionally pretty perfect. Kudos to you guys for that! But going from Snapseed 2 to 4, when I first open the app I can't help but feel like I'm now visiting a millennial hipster's photography portfolio's website landing page disguised as a photo editor instead of using a truly professional image manipulation toolkit.

The googly eyes are out of place and the cursive font you used for Snapseed's in-app logo is not it.

Maybe redesign these elements. That's it, really. You have a good thing going with the "leaf" logo, why don't you guys brainstorm a potential theme around that leaf we've all learned to associate with the app? My two cents.

It may have well been more than two years since users first started reporting about a backend server bug that prevented the user from removing a linked device because the ID was associated with a Windows installation that was either reinstalled, wiped completely, or the PC simply had its hardware swapped with different components. causing what I suspect was a desynchronization between the MS servers and the either now non-existent copy of Windows or the different hardware configuration associated with the persistent device ID on that particular machine. This bug also prevented the user from adding the device again since the serial number of the device was still technically in use. Extremely frustrating issue, I don't understand why it took so long for Microsoft to solve it, but I'm glad it's fixed. It really seems like MS is finally getting its shit together, now let's keep the ball rolling.

NASA mostly provides 1920x1280px images of the flyby. Is there an archive of the originals I'm not aware of?

This is getting ridiculous. I don't know what we Android users did to deserve getting sidelined by Google (of all companies), but they clearly just want to bring back the old stereotype of Android being a third-class OS that doesn't get any attention.
