I did my research, they're well enough regarded for an airplane.
Looked hard at those. Ended up going with the Bowers & Wilkins on-ears and love them. The sound quality is somehow perfect for everything from opera the Grateful Dead to the Dead Kennedys to Parliament to hockey games.
But the Sennsheisers look way cooler.
Maria a Cat5 already wow. It was a tropical storm 28 hours ago.
Good luck Dominca

iOS 11....digging it.
There's a very large part of me that wishes I had remained a luddite in the world of smart phones. I didn't get one until 2009 or 2010. Once I got one, there was no going back.
But cell phones present all sorts of privacy concerns to their users, and smartphones compound those concerns tenfold. It's really unsettling to me to think of how much data I freely give away to corporations and various government intelligence agencies on a daily basis. So many apps track data about you that has absolutely nothing to do with the app itself. And things like the increased facial recognition and integration between financial transactions and your smartphone make that even more concerning.
At least the one positive about iPhones is that Apple has more or less made encryption a selling point. While it won't protect you from giving away information to apps, their secure enclave will at least help keep your most valuable data secure from outside threats (although there have been recent reports of people allegedly finding vulnerabilities).
For those curious about this sort of stuff, Data & Goliath is a pretty good book on the topic.
Pre-GPS helps some, but your position can be tracked purely based on which cell phone towers can talk to your phone at any given moment.Time for me to dig out and fire up the old pre GPS Nokia.
Thanks for the Data & Goliath which looks like a good read.
Fancy! I just got a 2014 Diesel Grand Cherokee to replace my shitty Touareg. I am less cool than you.After putting in an order for a STI limited in May and then getting delayed 2 and now at least another month (some issue with sti limited w/wing as there are just barely any coming in) went with another vehicle on the more car bro dude side of things. My original plans were to delay getting an sti till after the 2020 complete redesign but changed early this year getting some additional money together.

So far I love it. Took it to wine country and was a super comfy trip. We got the Overland trim package. Haven't had occasion to really test its capability yet, tho. Hoping to go to the Los Padres in the new year and flex its muscles.How is that diesel GC? Ton of those GCs on the road even later model ones so people love those. Someone here at our office had one seriously blacked out rims, badging, etc..
