Austin the type of guy to pronounce “Sean” “seen”

[@MudSluggerBP]

Or Lara as Laura 😂😂

[@Majoraexp]

To be fair in normal English pronunciation, that is correct. It's like blue jeans, just swap the j for an s and remove the plural s. It's not how you say it but by standard grammatical rules it's right. That's why AI pronounces alot of things weird. Edit: it is actually right, here is what claude 3.5 says: The brand name "Shein" is typically pronounced as "SHEE-in" or "SHE-in." Here's a breakdown of the pronunciation: The first syllable "She" is pronounced like the English pronoun "she" The second syllable "in" is pronounced like the English word "in" So when put together, it sounds like "SHEE-in" with the emphasis usually on the first syllable. It's worth noting that this pronunciation has become widely accepted, especially in English-speaking countries. However, as it's a Chinese company, the original Chinese pronunciation may differ slightly. Some people also pronounce it as "SHANE," similar to the name Sean, but this is less common and generally considered incorrect"

[@wyterabitt2149]

​@@MajoraexpPlenty of these rules in English arent rules at all, including for "ean". Best you can normally say is that a lot work that way, but there's words that don't for ean that aren't obscure in English. For some of the rules people go on about, there's literally more words that break the rule that follow it even though that "rule" is well known.

[@Majoraexp]

@@wyterabitt2149 The problem is English inherits their words from many languages with different rules. In this case though, he's not wrong.

You know what, i like that idea. A case with headphones in it, and the case takes a micro sd card for music. If the case also had an audio input so it could transmit bluetooth to the headphones, this would actually be quite useful :D.

[@prod.byjoker3778]

regarding the controller Austin is using at 20:59, he probably has it in the wrong mode and he'd need to switch it to either x-input or d-input mode. Theres a whole reddit thread about it and its a fairly decent controller attachment for cellphones. Downsides, if you need to charge you phone, or use wired earphones/iems/headphones, you cant really access those ports. Can use it on a computer as it uses a bluetooth connection. The mode the controller is in does mess with what the buttons do, leaving it in android mode has it behave like its interacting with the android functionality, which is why pressing 'B' would pause the game (it thinks it's the back button)

[@catastrophe218]

For those commenting about how he pronounces the company name.. Fun fact, the company was once called SheInside, and they mainly sold in wedding dresses. So it is, in fact, pronounced "She-In"

[@kelownatechkid]

That switch game test doesn't reveal it's fake.

Or if you are online with a fake cart at the same time as another fake cart, it's possible (but I don't think confirmed) that nintendo can ban you

This is the tale of a sound that persists, A ringing, a buzzing, in the midst of the mists. Tinnitus, it's called, an unwelcome guest, In the quiet of the night, it robs you of rest. This is the story of a silent plight, A constant companion, both day and night. Tinnitus, it echoes, a phantom song, In the chambers of the ear, it plays along. This is the saga of those who hear, A sound that's invisible, yet so clear. Tinnitus, it whispers, in tones so thin, A symphony of silence, from within.

[@chookie9789]

Austin the Shein version of Logic 😂😅

[@MaggieByName]

Does Shein use 'dark patterns'? Designing an app or website in such a way that it lets the user do things they would not otherwise do (such as make purchases or invite friends) is also called a dark pattern. Such "misleading" patterns are prohibited under European consumer law, says Fernando Hortal Forondo, digital policy advisor at the European Consumer Organization BEUC. “Companies know that the longer they keep consumers on their platform through gifts and the like, the more often they will click 'buy',” he says. But according to Hortel Foronda, Shein risks more than just a violation of consumer law with the 'free gifts' game. Since April, the online retailer has been a very large online platform under the new European Digital Services Act (DSA). Shein therefore falls under the direct supervision of the European Commission.
