    Not just from Wish. I’d like to take a moment to say a massive Fuck You to the turbo thundercunt at Apple who decided it would be a good idea to make the iPhone headphone volume exposure limit warning LOUDER than the audio it was warning me about, and also to provide no method of adjusting either volume to match what my headphones actually output. That’s some fucking Grade-A trolling right there. Twats.

      Thank you for introducing me to the term ‘thundercunt’. It has me thinking of cosplay ideas.

      However, Siri and notifications volume is controlled separately from media volume on iOS. You can just turn it down.

      You can also set a repeating reminder to call Apple a bunch of throbbing thundercunts, perhaps weekly? Which is still a very important thing to do.

    The most annoying thing is it blasting “battery low” every 30 seconds when the battery gets below 20%, making them absolutely unusable. At least Sony lets out a ver short beep to let you know, and only twice

      I have been using Sony earbuds exclusively for the past few years. 10/10. Good sound, decent battery. Well made case (seriously you don’t realize until you have one how nice a well made and shaped case is), they’ve held up far better than I expected over the years.

      A bit pricer than some junk you can order off wish or whatever, but I think it’s well worth it for the quality and longevity of it.

      My favorite Wf-700

      I hate this too, it reminds you constantly as if its something dangerous that you shouldn’t forget about. A small beep once every 20 minutes would suffice. Not only that, but a lot of modern Bluetooth headphones last for quite a long time after the battery goes below 20%.

    My dashcam had a button that allowed you to disable/enable audio recording. It had a voice say “audio recording aww.”

    “On” and “Off” sounded nearly identical.

    I use Pinebuds. They have a woman’s voice that very enthusiastically says “ready to pair” in an American accent. But what sounds like a Chinese woman’s voice saying “phone disconnected”.

      wait I think those are mine too. I don’t know my brand but when the battery is low a voice like you’re describing says “Please charging 🥺”

      I’ve a creative air thingy headphone. Great device. It comes with the sweetest asian female voice you can imagine.

      So yes. It’s so Lovely. It’s the voice accompanying all your (manga) waifu dreams.

      Too bad you can’t really understand what she says. But who cares, right?

        Still with us, but the stroke he suffered has taken a toll.

        From Rocky Horror, Clue, Home Alone 2, and Red Alert 3 (also featuring Trek alum George Takei), he delivers camp in the best way.

          For those that haven’t seen this clip from Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, watching him try not to break as he delivers an absolutely ridiculous line with all his energy is perhaps one of the best bits of acting I’ve ever seen

            A friend and I played the whole campaign in co-op when it came out and both cracked up so bad after that cutscene. I think we had to restart the mission because we were laughing too hard still to actually start playing (plus we got to watch the briefing again!)
