Not until the strap can also connect to the device for charging. So 18months from now?

Aren't Airpods the (current) epitome of conspicuous consumption? A $60 strap that cost $0.01 to create & ship makes sense to me.

I'm having trouble reading the room. I've seen wireless earbuds that have that sort of strap built-in. Are we supposed to make fun of those too or not?

Though at $60 these things don't quite meet the "I bought the wrong thing, but it's cheaper to mod it than replace the expensive electronics" justification.

Wireless ear buds that are connected by a wire are not considered "truly wireless". The reason people buy truly wireless ear buds is so they have no wires. That is really the only upside. So the joke is that there is a product that is removing that upside and charging $60 for it.

That makes no sense. “Wireless” refers to how the audio signal is transferred. Or has marketing speak trumped radio history at this point?

Over-priced and missing functionality? Why comment on the ordinary?

Naw. People don’t floss. But making them out of parascord and we’ll make bank!

When you're purchasing a product that is "wireless", the transmission method isn't the reason for it. Nobody buys a wireless mouse because there's a wireless signal going to it, they're buying it so they can use a mouse that isn't attached to their computer by a wire. How it works is basically unimportant to the consumer.

So is the one right above it.

My gf and I were recently looking at houses and we came across this in one of them:

They had a couple of others including when John F. Kennedy was assassinated and when Nixon stepped down, but I think this was the coolest one.

Inspector Wrex or Commander Shepard?

I'm Command Shepherd, and this is my favorite squeakie toy on the Citadel.

Who's a good Spectre? It's you! It's you!

When we were allowed on to the council no one knew why they insisted we bring our doggos. We quickly learned we weren't on the council, but our good friends insisted we be allowed in.
