Comment Re:My Tinnitus (Score 1) 50

I’ve had tinnitus for 24years bilateral at 9kHz constant tone 24x7. I can hold a hair dryer up to head and still hear it.

Me too but 10KHz + some pink noise. I can blank it out, until the subject comes up. The problem is that sounds need to be louder than the tinnitus noise floor to be comprehendible. This has meant having hearing aids to boost the sound level. There is a silver lining: I can go and work in the data centre without using uncomfortable earplugs, the Automatic Gain Control brings down the fan noise to a comfortable level!

My morality comes from my inner self. Nobody needs to be told what to do from ancient texts written from the mumblings of some illiterate goat herders.

I'm reaching the end of my life and am so glad that I don't have the burden of an imaginary deity hanging round my neck. I know that when I die, the only "me" that will remain, will be in the memories of my loved ones and maybe a few friends. For me it will be peace at last.

Submission + - France halts iPhone 12 sales over radiation levels (bbc.com)

AmiMoJo writes: France has ordered Apple to stop selling the iPhone 12 for emitting too much electromagnetic radiation. On Tuesday, the French watchdog which governs radio frequencies also told the tech giant to fix existing phones. The ANFR has advised Apple that if it cannot resolve the issue via a software update, it must recall every iPhone 12 ever sold in the country. France's digital minister Jean-Noel Barrot told French newspaper Le Parisien the decision was due to radiation levels above the acceptable threshold, according to Reuters.

He said the ANFR found the iPhone 12's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) was above what is legally allowed. "Apple is expected to respond within two weeks," he said. "If they fail to do so, I am prepared to order a recall of all iPhones 12 in circulation. The rule is the same for everyone, including the digital giants."
