Cars have had bluetooth and usb on their radios for almost 20 years. Even older than that you can replace the stereo for like $30. My car is 2004 and i did a stereo replacement and i’ve got bluetooth, usb C and aux.

Yes if they’ve lasted decades thats their job done. Now people are buying usb C headphones and there is no need to continue to support decades old standards. The ewaste from a pair of headphones is tiny so its not worth fretting over.

Also BT headphones last longer than 2 years. Mine are 1st gen samsung buds and going on 5 years at this point and still hold enough charge to listen to music during my work day. If im going to be using them all day I have 1 in and 1 charging in the case and then I can easily have music for 10+ hours on a 5 year old device. If I threw them away today I would consider them to have not been ewaste.

I use wireless charging every single day and majority of my non techie friends do as well. Its so convenient to have a wireless charger on the desk and put your phone there. They are dirt cheap as well.

No one has been using aux cable mobile headphones for the past 10 years. Headphone jack is e-waste at this point. bluetooth audio is great and if you really want to be a boomer you can use the usb C headphones.

Oh yeah this one is going straight in my privacy talking points folder.

Its not a waste of time, its very useful. I can see how a robot such as yourself wouldnt understand.

You can spend your 8 hours a day in a cubicle and I will spend it having fun and working along side people I genuinely like.

I want to kick your city in the nuts. How could you gut parks and libraries.

I have friends and live with friends and I still feel lonely when working remotely. I like hybrid the most because sometimes i need to just go into work and talk about the things im working on with people who actually understand (not work related talks just for fun)

I dont think its for profit being the issue. Companies making a profit is fine. Its publicly traded companies giving bad incentives.

• provide free app at a loss

• grow massive user base and market share

• squeeze your userbase for every cent they’re worth

Every single time. We got to solve the funding issue some how, I dont want to live in a future run by ads.
