It seems that you still haven't realized the gigantic hole in your arguments even after I already pointed them out. If you don't know what open source software is or how projects are typically run (including where the funding, if any, comes from), educate yourself before posting meaningless texts in a forum.

They just ask why someone putting so much effort into a project would not want to spend 200$ on saving it. That is a totally fair question. And you seem to be completely missing why spending 200$ on AI wouldn't solve the problem. Which is okay. But being a…

It's not a fair question.

You are absolutely mistaken.

You have no rights whatsoever to question what a person is willing to put into an open source project. That's called being entitled and ungrateful. Perhaps look in the mirror and see who's the real jerk.

If you still have doubts, look at the social engineering and emotional manipulation in the xz incident.

You are being manipulative. In your sentence, "to question" means "to challenge, dispute, or express doubt about". When I said it was a fair question, I said it made sense to wonder why one would invest so much into a project and not be willing to invest $200, which is obviously perceived as marginal by the person who asked the question.

A constructive answer may be: "because they can afford working on this in their free time for 10 years, but they cannot afford spending $200 on it". Another one may be: "you are over-estimating what $200 of AI would do there, if it was enough they would probably do it". There are many ways to engage in a constructive manner.

Now talking about mirrors, let me quote you one last time:

Never had my headphones drop off

If I put my phone in my right pocket the bluetooth module on the left side of my helmet will disconnect when I turn my motorcycle to the left

I wonder if one side I very low power emitter designed to connect to the other head-side unit, presumably designed to connect to your device. Some bt headphones are designed with a weak unit and strong unit.

There is no left or right side to the helmet unit; the entire unit is on the left side of the helmet (right hand operates the bike's throttle, so the left hand is the free hand to operate the unit).
