I have AirPods, my girlfriend has AirPods, my brother and sister have AirPods, and I have multiple friends and co-workers with AirPods and I've literally never seen a single person in my life with straps for them. :rolleyes:

Apparently the AirPod's rechargeable batteries only last about a year and a half and can't really be replaced, so essentially, owning AirPods is like paying a $10 per month headphone subscription.

My Android quit getting security updates a year and a half ago and I had gone noseblind to its particular odor of poo poo so I bought an iPhone to feel alive again. Might get a flip phone once this thing's ready for the shitheap, idk.

I also have a Macbook Pro from work (well, for the next two weeks anyway). It has the worst loving keyboard that I've ever used. I disabled the touchpad because my hands were constantly brushing against it. Even though it's off I hate the way that it feels (it stretches half the length of the base from the center so you're never NOT touching it) and I wish eternal urethral pain on whoever told laptop manufacturers that they're preferable to nipple mice. Mac OS X is deffo less poo poo than Windows though, so I'd say it's a wash.

I too love the nipplemouse but ThinkPads are pretty much the only laptops left on earth with them. Luckily the T series are still good laptops.

And yeah the MacBook keyboard is like typing on a tablet. It's awful.

My work bought me a macbook pro and mostly its really nice apart from the stupid loving touchbar thing which is terrible in every way compared to just having F keys

I was playing Divinity Original Sin 2 and for about a second I was like "wow cool it has things on the touchbar to open my inventory and skills and stuff" then I remembered I could just press 'i' much easier and quicker.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
