RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was something that you thought was overhyped that actually lived up to the hype?13·6 days agoPop sockets.
I saw so many people use them and hated the sight of them. They look weird and make your phone fit awkwardly in your pocket and you can just lean your phone against something heavy if you want to watch a video or whatever.
But I decided to try it and it is single-handedly the thing that allows me to use my Android phone pretty much one-handed. With gesture controls and the ability to shrink the keyboard to one side for one-hand typing, I’m able to use my 6" phone with one hand 90% of the time.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t understand genres, but I feel like early Soundgarden albums sounded very close to Nirvana’s sound, but later albums became more rock?

Nirvana is still hyped as one of the greatest bands ever. Maybe it was revisionism after Kurt’s death? But whatever it is, I feel like their music doesn’t deserve the hype it gets today.

RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you never understood the hype for?5·7 days agoAs someone who never understood multiple monitors, one day I just got a second one and now I feel working without a second monitor is limiting.
Having said that, I can’t see a use for a third monitor at all (not to say it’s completely useless. I’m sure some people find it useful).

RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you never understood the hype for?133·7 days agoNirvana. The band.
I missed the grunge movement in its peak but I got into Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Just couldn’t get into Nirvana beyond a few songs that I do like. Musically, I feel like both Pearl Jam and Soundgarden dwarf Nirvana.

The Shawshank Redemption
I always buy cheap ones because they keep coming off
