They want their internet connection back.

Who Am I?
I rebuild machines and minds. Aircraft by trade, systems by instinct.
I speak torque and code, ask inconvenient questions, and drag the curious into deeper waters — gently or otherwise.
If it breaks, I’ll fix it. If it thinks, I’ll challenge it. And if it doesn’t? I’ll probably poke it anyway.

Each reboot will need about five minutes.
It’s almost like I have an ultra-lightweight, ultra-power-efficient, legacy Windows server strapped to my wrist.
What’s worse, is that I can’t use Scheduled Tasks or a cron job to just do a reboot once per week at 1AM or something.
So, yeah, I’m a bit annoyed — it might become a fixture in the “Some of the tech items I once had” drawer.

But it’s still $550 for a set of headphones and that alone is reason enough for it to wait for a long while.
Though, I admit that I am curious about how effective its noise-cancelation is and how it compares with the AirPods Pro.
High-Tech?
A high-tech tin can telephone.
I don’t know whether to be intrigued or baffled.
