It isn't even just "youngsters" at this point, it's people in basically every possible demographic, and it's absolutely infuriating. It's literally never been easier to consume vast amounts of media privately, even in public. With shit like the Apple Vision or other headsets and a good pair of noise canceling headphones, you could literally be watching the dirtiest porn imaginable and no one would be the wiser, and yet people feel the need to assault everyone around them with their awful taste in content. And no, the type of content doesn't matter, I don't care if it's Lil Nas X, Bach, the Beatles, your favorite YouTuber, a TED Talk, or anything else. If you're playing it over a speaker in public, it's awful.

I also don't need to hear about your brother's tragic drug problems over speakerphone while I'm shopping for groceries, I don't want to hear your obnoxiously loud TikToks while I'm taking a shit, and you can put your game of fucking Candy Crush on mute while you're on a redeye 8hr international flight and people are trying to sleep.

Maybe it was just to wash down some Ambien.

Yeah, that time is even moreso now because cars are far more complex and expensive as fuck now. Just the HVAC system alone on a modern luxury car probably has more components than the entirety of my old 1972 MG. You can bet your ass my friends find it very valuable when I can quickly fix stuff on their cars a dealership wanted to charge $1200 for.

Now just imagine how the hype is for literally everything they've ever done, and it's on the exact same level. Once Tesla/Musk does something related to your field, it's abundantly clear what an absolute fraud he is.

And honestly, you can make a lot of really good bread quite quickly. Leaving out proofing for a bit, it's less than watching an episode of a show. Bread it also easy enough that you can totally watch a show while making it, and not worry about chopping off your fingers lol

But they were at least limited in their portability and loudness and battery life. Now you can have a tiny speaker that gives up any semblance of sound quality for loudness, but will also manage to last 8+ hours.

Wow, that was pretty wild. Thanks for taking the time to type that out, it was well worth the wait.

Well, are you going to tell us the story?

Looking at the bottom corner of the bumper, I definitely think this is the case

At least on my TV, I've had firmware updates enable things like variable refresh rate, enable 4K/120Hz, improve the dynamic contrast performance, and fix a couple of weird bugs it had shipped with.
