    Oh I remember this bullshit. I remember when headphones used to just work. Now they take 10+ minutes of my day troubleshooting the connection, battery, pairing, etc. to listen to music which I now rent but used to own on a stereo which didn’t surveil me and sell my data. NOW youre telling me I can go FUCK MYSELF with new techbro glasses? SIGN ME UP!

      My Bose noise canceling headphones do not allow noise canceling when you use the audio jack, only for Bluetooth. It’s maddening. Found this out on a plane when it was too late to do anything about it.

      I always find this interesting. It seems that some people have constant issues (headphones, earphones, mice, …), like my wife, and some people never have any issues, like me.

      There’s nothing about a subscription in here, and there’s no need for an internet connection. Sensors just watch how your eyes are trying to focus and adjust the metal lens that’s sandwiched between the glass parts.
