Yeah, if I actually liked these headphones I'd probably repair them, but as it is, I have other headphones I can use, they're just not noise cancelling.

There might be something to that. Unfortunately I keep Bluetooth on for my smart watch to connect. The headphones aren't normally selected, but I think they auto-connect sometimes when they come in range. It also doesn't help that the main way of switching the connected device is via the Android app, that requires the phone to use. (Original Surface Headphones, I'm considering replacing them because the pads are falling apart already)
The number of times I've been mid video call or watching a video on my headphones and they randomly decided to disconnect from my laptop and connect to another device like my phone absolutely infuriates me.
The whole multiple paired device feature really needs some work...
A simpler time...
In this case they're talking about "Algorithm Implementation"
How did this company leak 2.9 billion people's info, including SSNs, when the population of the US is only ~350M?
Is "National Public Data" collecting info on everyone internationally? So many questions...
There's even more use cases that come up, like being able to use emoji and other fancy symbols anywhere unicode is supported. So you can even program with them. People have taken that idea to the extreme just for fun: https://www.emojicode.org/
Would you rather send an entire JPEG over text message for an emoji? Or just 4 bytes of unicode right inline where you want it? Unicode having a standard set of emoji is actually incredibly useful and reduces complexity. I guess it would disincentivize 👏 emoji 👏 spam 👏 to use JPEGs tho.
I don't really see the problem with restricting e-bike power. You can still go faster than 20mph if you pedal. I think what you really want is a motorcycle. They make those in electric form too.
A lot of what's driving these decisions is the mass switch to subscription models. Everything's designed so you have to keep coming back to the manufacturer.
It used to be making a high quality, standalone product meant you could spend less on customer service and RMA's. Now they've figured out they can sell you service contracts and make money off you being locked in.
How would carburetor DRM make any sense? Those are super common to take apart and rebuild or replace (like step 1 of every old restoration).
This is what, the 3rd attempt Apple has made at "complying" with the 3rd party app store regulations? It's only been like a year since that's been going on. I'm sure the EU will be getting back to them about this soon.
