Marshall Monitor II ANC - New addition to the gadgets

-
I was originally against bluetooth speakers and headphones. But then I
ended up with an IPhone. I tried dongle-life with a USB-C to 3.5mm
jack dongle. Then one day I was talking about bluetooth headphones
with my friend and found out that with black-friday there are a lots
of deals going on.
Looked around for a Sony WH-1000XM5 but it was still going out of
budget. Then found out Marshall Monitor II ANC was going to be around
12K INR. So asked friend to buy it and finally friend was in India
last month. Got the headphones and found them to be good quality and
good value for money at the same time.
Anyway now here's specs:

PLAY TIME
30 hours with Bluetooth and ANC 45 hours with Bluetooth only

WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
Bluetooth 5.0

There's nothing else to add. It's a closed-cup style design with
foam-fake leather earcups that do good seal on their own. The ANC is
good enough with very good suppression of noise.

One problem I'm facing right now is a bluetooth issue and it's a
problem with my laptop and windows combined. I get lots of audio
skipping with the laptop. It works fine with phone. Now my laptop is
about 4-5 years old at this point of time and maybe the hardware
itself is defective. So I am forced to use wire with this laptop. Not
a deal breaker. Well, that's it. Cheers!

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

-
Recently I had to implement a calendar for a TouchScreen application. I resorted to css to modify the calendar widget's appearance so that it would be more accessible. Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");

A tryst with Message Queues Pt. 2

-
So far... I'm sending data to a RabbitMQ broker as messages. These messages get queued up in a user configurable queue. Supposedly a consumer is going to process these. But the consumer is out of my view. Doesn't matter. Now there came a feature of receiving notifications from the consumer or some other system. So after some discussion, the powers to be decided that we are going to have a notification queue which the client has to read. And from it we get the notifications to be read. Now the shady part of business was I had no idea what the hell is going on the inside of libStomp. So I ask politely that I don't have any read code. And I get handed over a single stomp_read code snippet. (In whiny voice) They said it works!!! But it doesn't!!! I tried so hard!!! Damn!!! So I looked into the protocol to understand why the hell I am no getting anything. After reading the protocol, I came to know that the implementation is fucked up in ways more than a few. First ...
