Welcome to your new life. This upgrade is not optional and a reboot will not clear it. Tinnitus has many causes. Most of them are avoidable but some (antibiotics) less so. People's ability to internalise a coping mechanism also varies. My own ability rises and sets like the tide. Some days it's all encompassing and some days it's just the liveness check for the nuclear storage tank alarm which reassures me I'm not de…

I've had mild tinnitus as long as I can remember; my earliest memory of it must have been when I was about four years old. I suspect I've had it my entire life.

#24Why is the new style to avoid capitalization when writing? I see it everywhere now. I can only imagine the annoyance of fighting autocorrect just to format your content like this.

With so many new, markup words everyday on social media ("enshittifcation" - i am looking at you), autocorrect can be annoying.
Keeping computer commands in notes also prompt me to turn off autocapitalisation
Once they are off, typing in lowercase is just natural

I don't know, but I find it quite unpleasant to read.

#30Luckily it went away. I wear ear protection all the time now. agree that there should be laws governing sound volume.
