Wired Earbuds or Headphones? Most wired earbuds are crap, so it makes sense to use Bluetooth. Wired Headphones should not break. I don’t want to argue with your experiences, but I have never seen headphones break. I used a pair for seven years, and only stopped using it wasn’t worth it to buy new pads (the headphones cost $20, pads $10).
Yeah, if you use earbuds, Bluetooth is so much better. I don’t know why wired earbuds are so garbage, but I had two die in three years. My headphones still work after seven, but the pads are worn off, so I stopped using them
They probably sound slightly differently, and have more historical value to them. I just digitized my grandfathers cassette collection, because it was his, and are a different experience (because of how cassettes sound).
A bunch of Matrix bridges on one platform, with some extra funding. It looks cool, but isn’t lifechanging. It is designed to (hopefully) make it easier to use, but if you don’t care, you can set up the bridges yourself on your own matrix server.
A lot of social media companies aren’t profitable, but they didn’t care because of cheap loans and lots of investors. Now that loans are more ecpensive and investors want AI, social media companies are realizing, “We need to make money, or investors will hate us”, and are locking things down. Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, and Tumblr are some of the examples we see. All trying to push subscriptions or block adblockers.
