OHIO
It's not related really, but seeing this article about Ohio doing something stupid reminded me of this article, and specifically the Instagram propaganda shown off within.

You just know someone in the chain wanted to be able to say, 'we were the first', then they got fact checked and had to add in that qualifier of commercially available ground station.
Surely any rational individual already acknowledges that subject as lunacy. The segment of people that after seeing the joke would fall victim to the conspiracy is bound to be smaller than the segment that find it mildly amusing.
Damn, no one got the joke about the two top commenters in the thread becoming the same entity?
Oh well, it was pretty low effort.
Is it just me or does that bike have a kink in its neck?
When I wrote that it was taking Boeing at its word, I was leaning more into a possibility of leadership changing their minds.
All I was really getting at by commenting about the contract was that corporate greed exists
The point I was trying to convey is that companies are run by people and people are corruptable.
I'm of the opinion there are no lines a company won't cross if there's a dollar to be made
I even said:
You're correct to say there's no reason to think any specific contact would be violated.
And yet you continue to harp on about this, and now tell me to go do some reading? Read the comments you're replying to.
You haven't conceded a single thing or even mentioned any of the rebuttals I have made to you points, and you continue to attack what I have repeatedly stated as only being my opinions.
I should have trusted my instinct beforehand. This isn't a discussion. This is a waste of effort.
I guess the point I made three times didn't get across to you, did it.
I'm a third party in this chat, not Anivia@feddit.org.
Your initial comment here was pointing out that a component of a computer build is as expensive as an entire console. Valid point, though it does ignore that the component you had in mind is superior to what Sony's put into their machine. It's not really an apples to apples comparison. More like an apple from the grocery compared to picking a basket of apples from an orchard.
You seem to be pointing out that higher performance per dollar is possible with a high end computer. This is correct.
Anivia on the other hand was only saying that for the same money or less as a Playstation 5 Pro, you can get more performance by spending your dollars on a computer instead of a console. This is correct.
You two seem to be saying the same thing: Sony's console is overpriced for what it is, and a better experience can be had going with a pc.
Way to move the goal post on your argument.
Ah so that's the line you think they won't cross? Glad we were able to narrow that down.
I'm of the opinion there are no lines a company won't cross if there's a dollar to be made, and there's decades of evidence this is the case. It wasn't that long ago that big business would hire people to give a beat down to protesting workers.
It's not my goal to change the minds of people online. Ultimately this conversation has boiled down to me having an opinion based on actions I have seen taken against workers, and you believing there is a line in the sand that "cannot" be crossed because the company is smart enough not to.
We aren't getting anywhere by continuing.

I wear a set of these every day, for hours at a time. I started writing what I thought would be a concise comment that turned out to be not concise. I tried to break it up because no one likes a wall of text.
Shokz customer service and hardware quality:
I got my first headset, the Trekz Titanium model, from them in 2016 before they rebranded to 'Shokz'. The company replaced them twice under warranty. The third pair held up until I broke them in 2022, and I ordered the new OpenRun Pro model.
This new headset is significantly lighter, and lasts longer than the original version I had. Obviously they'll only get better in five years, but I'd say there's no need to wait. The quality is there. Honestly, I'm surprised they don't charge more for them.
My usage and experience:
They focus a lot of their marketing on athleticism, which is probably the number one use case for most people. That said, I use them both when I drive and when I work to take calls, as it's clearer both for me and the person I'm speaking to than other, single ear, headsets I've used before.
As far as music quality, it is a Bluetooth headset so audiophile fidelity can't be expected, but I like them since at mid volume they won't bleed sound to other people yet I can still exchange a few words with someone without having to pause anything and slow down a brief chat.
If you're a podcast listener, these things are fantastic. I listen to about two hours of spoken word content each day, and I couldn't wear in ear or over ear headphones for that long. That's just preference though.
Charging:
A change Shokz made at some point was to move from a micro usb charger to a magnetic one. It's fantastic. I have a cable affixed in place on my dresser and my desk, and it's as simply as Apple's Magsafe charging system if you're familiar with that. I just put the headset down and it's charging - don't even need to turn it off.
It also recharges in maybe twenty minutes, which for something that lasts me all day every day, is pretty great.
To sum up, I'll be buying another pair when my current ones kick the bucket, and another after that.
