You can see other people in a reflection without them being able to see you.

It is not possible to see someone else's eyes (except from the side, so it's only seeing their eyes in profile) in a reflection without them being able to see you too.

It's literally not possible via reflection, as everything is equal and opposite. If light can go from their eyes to yours, it's also possible to go the opposite direction.

This is what everyone has been saying but instead of thinking through everything clearly, you resorted to bullying.

The only way to accomplish this one-way vision is by adding something that is not reflection to the system (like a one-way window), but that's breaking the premise under which everyone else has been commenting in good faith.

The reflection is only bidirectional if you can see the other person's eyes.

It's like if someone is in a bathroom stall. You could see the stall is occupied by seeing their feet stick below the wall of the stall, but they cannot necessarily see any part of you since their eyes are not where their feet are.

Same principle applies to reflections, where maybe the body part that you can see is just the top of the head, and since the person isn't tall enough they can't see that you can see them.

So if the tip is sticking out for airflow, how does it handle a flash flood?

Spacewar is the app ID for testing Steamworks integration without having an app ID yet.

Well in this case the companies that should be regulated are the Internet companies in SK. 😂 Good counterpoint (not /s)

There's only one company I've found that makes headphone shapes that don't hurt my ears and they stopped making wired variants years ago. Last time I got an actually authentic pair was ~2017.

The void they left behind got flooded by knockoff junk that isn't worth buying (bought 2 pairs in 2018 trying to find a replacement, they were tinny garbage).

If I could find a wired version that sounded good for under $50 I'd get them immediately so I can stop dealing with Bluetooth connection issues when I'm on my computer.

I don't have a headphone jack.

Even if I had one, I haven't been able to buy wired headphones that aren't crap quality that don't hurt my ears. Last time I bought wired headphones (more accurately earbuds) they were tinny knock off garbage being sold on Amazon as a legitimate product, and that was years ago.

If it works it's likely not supported officially by any carrier (this probably also applies to Canada and possibly Mexico), but it's at least not for sale in the US. Not sure if it's sold to all of Europe or just the EU/EEZ however.

I feel like you just made something up so you don't have to like EVs.

  1. The fact that this is your takeaway from my messages (in addition to your general tone) just shows you are trying to push a self-righteous agenda without properly identifying who are your allies and opponents. I abhor ICEs and would have bought an EV by now if not for the scummy companies producing them, and the fact that I basically do not drive anymore so switching my relatively unused car out for any replacement vehicle does not make sense. I'd sooner just sell the car and wash my hands of them entirely.

What a weird outlook you have.

  1. Not likely subscription services and the car manufacturers tracking me is not "weird" it's well justified. I don't like my insurance company tracking me either which is why I heavily restrict the permissions their app has (and use a second phone for it). ICE and EV manufacturers have immense overlap and I've yet to hear of one that actually respects their customers and doesn't turn their products into drivable spyware.

I don't even have a way to rebut it.

  1. Perhaps you should quit the contrarian behavior since you're not putting in the effort to be one. You've already demonstrated you aren't putting in the effort to read my messages by openly misidentifying me as an EV hater.

Subscriptions to use any part of my car and even more tracking than my ICE car are part of the product, and that sucks. I beg to differ on me being wrong, on those two counts specifically.

No matter what the stability, reliability, and safety are, the two things I mentioned are each sufficient grounds to not buy pretty much any of the modern cars, EV or ICE.

I'm not buying an EV not because of lack of infrastructure or lack of interest, but because the product sucks.

I'm not buying a gas car either for the same product sucking reason, and an active desire to never purchase a gas car again.
