The one that causes pain in ears.

Are you talking about pain that radiates out of your ears?

I had the same thought, having first viewed it on Desktop (FF 75). On mobile it's much smoother (Oneplus 7T Pro), however, it doesn't come close to how in awe I was at the smoothness of the Mavic Mini mini-site on mobile: https://www.dji.com/uk/mavic-mini

The Mavic site is doing something different than the the Airpod and Pixel Buds pages. The Mavic looks like it's triggering the animations once they're on screen. The two other sites are tying those animations directly to the scroll position, on both the Google and Apple sites the videos and animations will play backwards when you scroll back up. The closest the Mavic site comes looks like some of the static images re…

That makes sense. I could "feel" that they're implemented differently, but as a non-web developer I couldn't tell what the difference was. I just recall being really impressed with how the Mavic site looked/felt on mobile when it was first posted here some months ago.

There were many wireless earbuds around the time Apple came out with the AirPods so you're really not selling your point here. Just because a company wants to get into that market now doesn't automatically make it derivative from Apple. The Dash was very popular, people have heard about it. Samsung Gear IconX earbuds were also popular and out before AirPods. Should we say that Apple is derivative of Samsung because t…

None of my friends outside tech circles have heard of "The Dash". They all know and most of them bought or want AirPods. An estimated 60 million AirPods were sold in 2019, nobody else in the category comes close.

Ok so if I understand you correctly... if I copy something people haven't heard of I'm an innovator and everyone that follows is a fraud.

How are they a copy of the AirPods? The AirPods, to me, look hideous. You take the original Apple headphones and cut off the wire. But putting that aside I'm finding it hard to see how these headphones resemble anything like AirPods. I mean, they're wireless headphones...? Is that the issue?

The (rounded, white, shiny) charging/carrying case is definitely heavily inspired by the AirPods. While the headphones, visually, don't look a lot like the AirPods, in terms of functionality they're very similar, as they're wireless earbuds that don't have a wire even between the earbuds, and they feature noise cancellation that adapts to the environment.

"wireless earbuds that don't have a wire even between the earbuds" ... face palm

Wow, Apple has some serious brainwashing in the PR department for you to think that they actually invented true wireless earbuds.

I think the option to save the transcript is available only to the organiser of the call.

I was the organizer but didn't see it. Another coming up in 3 minutes, will look closer this time!

I checked the online documentation again and there is no mention of recording the live captions now. I am very confident that, a few months ago, this option was there for the call organisers.
