    Because users get a scary warning if they don't do that. Unlike Mac or Windows, where users can download stuff outside the Mac or MS store without warning, so big companies don't u…

    Apple Silicon Macs. Aside from that, yes very boring, especially the silly stuff like watches, pencils, and credit cards. That said, I'd rather our country respect private property…

    Android heavily warns users against installing those, which might not fly if the ruling is to treat them equally. Despite that, a major app Fortnite is only available via the Epic …

    My Apple BT keyboards+mice run out of battery very quickly and sometimes randomly disconnect/reconnect. A newer non-Apple BT keyboard seems ok on its own, but then there are issues…

    Yeah, it's just a bandpass filter (very easy to make by accident) and an amp.

    I tried my Bose NC700 with my Pixel 6. It gave me the quick-pairing notification, asking me also to install an app, which ofc I said no to. Then when it was already paired, I got t…

    Guess it's less obvious than some Android phones, which mount as a filesystem. But most of them don't.

    Yes. I scrolled and found it by chance: "Simply put, your brain is trying to figure out what it’s hearing, so it’s filling in the gaps of the noise you’re listening to with a commo…

    It's wild how easily things can act as AM receivers. A pencil and rusty razor, or a tooth filling and saliva.

    I have expensive Bluetooth stuff, and in my experience it's always glitchy. Also, even the cheapest wired stuff doesn't have these problems.

    Size is an issue, because with more people in a chat, there's an exponentially higher chance that someone doesn't have RCS or has some issue with it.

    USB-A always felt fine, even though there's v3 vs v2. But USB-C is a mess.
