that isn't the typical experience though, and letting your batteries drain completely is bad for them. also if you don't have some sort of routine, a lot of people (myself included) end up forgetting to charge them and end up with no working headphones until they can charge them again, which is pretty annoying.

I'd rather they just give me a headphone jack tbh

you're definitely right, but meeting people in the real world is also becoming more expensive through traditional means.

have you ever actually looked for patents? uncovering is the right term here.

yeah, it's fucking exhausting to go through and disable the 10's or 100's of options they set by default that you don't want. I have a computer that I have disabled updates on because they kept resetting my deeper configs with updates. I'm not getting another windows computer unless I have to because god that shit took so long to set up.

classic microsoft, shoving things down users' throats without consent.

I'd be more okay with it if that weren't for the fact that there can still be compatibility issues when before there weren't.

in response to bluetooth being private: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=bluetooth

also the adapters get lost and break before the headphones usually do (and cost about as much as a cheap pair of headphones)

it's partially because we are running out of options that have the headphone jack, and the only reason to remove them is to boost sales of more expensive bluetooth sets. Bluetooth really doesn't reign supreme yet because wired headphones are still more convenient, cheaper to produce, and last longer than their bluetooth counterparts. the only reason it's so common is because it keeps getting removed from phones so people don't have a choice in the matter.
