One thing that always worried me about bluetooth headphones was their proximity with the brain, for prolonged periods of time. As such, for several years, I've already replaced my legacy Bose wired headphones 3 times, since I can only get them on eBay whenever the ones I own start failing for some reason. I am almost sure they are clones, but there is nothing that comes close to them on the market in terms of wired headphones with noise cancellation. I even wrote an article on this: https://lopespm.com/notes/2025/02/22/wireless-headphones.htm...
I've very thankful that we are coming back to wired headphones.
> It’s also clear that kids whose parents restrict phone use seem to have superpowers compared to those that don’t.
Love this phrase. What might happen is that the next generation, upon seeing this opportunity, will do the opposite of their elders and highly value focus, and more readily dismiss quick gains.
If my word is enough, this article was actually written by me. Although it would be quite ironic if it was written entirely by GPT, with no revisions whatsoever :)
Meetup suffers from a similar issue, where one cannot perform bulk changes to all the subscribed groups, which becomes unwieldy when one has over 100 subscribed groups.
Apart from this, it happened just a few months ago that these settings suddenly stopped working, so I received several non-solicited emails from notifications that should have been disabled.
Issues like this could have a significant negative impact in user experience and retention, in my opinion

This one made chuckle, and TIL that Null is a real life surname.
