  • In theory there are a number of “true wireless” buds that claim 4+ hours. In practice battery degradation is real. Charging can also be inconsistent. Even Apple’s own Airpods have failed to recharge inside their case for me and virtually everyone that I know that has them. Not Airpods, but my BT pair doesn’t last 1.5 hours on a full charge, anymore, and charging has become incredibly inconsistent. But you know what doesn’t need recharging? You know what doesn’t experience battery degradation and forced obsolescence? Just gimme my goddamn headphone jack. “User error” gtfoohwt




  • I might have simply missed it, but I didn’t see mention of expandable storage, and the provided storage is quite small. I also specifically noted the lack of 3.5mm (they will provide a USB adapter, but those are frail and prone to failure). Bluetooth is nifty and all, but when I’m on mile 7 of a marathon or even a half and my headphones die, I will be filled with a supernova-class rage that a reliable wired option was never provided (an inevitability). All that, mixed with the low specs, is completely a nonstarter. If there was a headphone jack I might feel differently, but this ain’t it.

    Slightly related concern, did anyone see that extremely condescending video from Nothing that was basically like “small phones are for nerds, and only idiots want phones thick enough for headphone jacks. Want to debloat your software? How about no OS at ALL so this expensive gadget does not function!” Talk about rage baiting. Fuck those guys.




  • Superman is weird; flying around at supersonic speeds would also cause some severe abrasions and likely suffocation, but supes drags Lois around all over the world in comics. Iirc, canonically he has some intrinsic powers, like a forcefield to protect passengers in flight, telekinetic abilities that work in tandem with physical touch to prevent him from ripping through things accidentally, and apparently the ability to prevent damage when catching things at terminal velocity.

    “You may have a Nazi flag. You may have a Confederate flag, and so you are allowed to display those flags.”

    In an interview that night, Lee denied that he ever said there would be instances where a teacher could “display” a Nazi flag, and expressed displeasure that The Tribune would publish his testimony about displaying Nazi and Confederate flags in classrooms.

    When asked to further explain his remarks, Lee hung up the phone.

    Lmao what a cunt.
