Agreed. We're looking for ways to make paywalled posts more compelling for non-members. On web, if a Minds+ post has media (image or video) and text, the text will display now.

I went to a headphone show in Southern California this weekend, met up with a lot of great people in the audio community, and listened to some fantastic (and some awful) headphones.This one I'm listening to in the photo is the Sennheiser HE 1, an electrostatic headphone with matching marble-encased tube amplifier. It falls into the "fantastic" category. I will never own one.It costs $60,000.

It's pampas grass. I've read it's an invasive plant, but it's all over the coast and I love it. Pops up in August, a kind of deep burgundy red. Then fades to white into fall, and eventually litters the ground.

I've been pretty quiet on social media the past month, been hard to think about much other than the Israel / Palestine conflict and TBH it's something I've not had an educated view of. Been trying to understand more since Oct 7.Social media has its problems, but having been raised almost exclusively on a diet of traditional media coverage of the conflict, I can't say my understanding of the conflict was clear at all apart from political tribal affiliations. And yet, an hour spent watching this YouTube channel gives a very different level of understanding.It's a simple man-on-the-street interview series recorded in Israel and the West Bank, talking with ordinary people and getting some pretty frank answers. If you're curious to have a different level of understanding, I recommend it.I also recommend a ChatGPT session, just asking questions, drilling down.Understand the limits of any source of information and there's yet a lot of utility in some. These have been my favorites so far.https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyGilShusterAskProject/videos

I had to watch this twice to make sure it's not playing the squirrel bit in reverse....It's not. That's amazing.

Is it cynical of me to... have low expectations for this?

Oh snap, didn't expect that. iPhone will support RCS next year.If you're not familiar with RCS, it's basically an upgraded SMS -- which supports, among other features, much higher quality media.TBD on how it's implemented, but this COULD make it easier to switch away from iPhone.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/roheTIg6pmk

Sad Ari's not part of it, but there's a new Revzilla CTXP episode out this week.If I'm honest, I'm more interested in how the small Triumph motorcycles do on the trip and than the riders.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6igdCnYjBt4

I was just recently wondering whatever happened to the idea of battery swaps for electric cars. I think I saw a battery swap scooter or something. Might have even posted about it here and forgot... oh well.Apparently the battery swap car isn't dead, though, given this video from Tom Scott. Could solve problems like long charge times and people who can't park close to an electrical outlet they own (e.g. apartment renters). Though that robotic swap doesn't look super fast at the moment.And given the proliferation of electric cars already for sale that don't have (and will never have) compatibility with a system like this, perhaps the battery swap car is dead. Though I could definitely see something like this filling a niche in cities where plug-in electrics cant get a foothold, and that'll make for an interesting platform battle.Does this make electric more appealing to you?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNZy603as5w

The one upside to waiting for laundry to dry: Free time to walk around with a camera.
