Bluetooth that works. The ability to email large files. Low cost broadband. The right to repair. Not lose the ownership of digital media.

Digital media just kills me. Back in the CD and DVD days I sent back a bunch of discs that were too scrarched to use and i would get coupons to replace them. Often times the publishers included an extra one just because they didn't want you to pirate stuff. Buying physical media meant you licensed it even when you physically couldn't so they were compelled to solve the problem.

It's been a long, long while that I've had any issues with any Bluetooth device.

Can you listen to music or watch a movie while on a discord call using the hands-free microphone in your Bluetooth headset? Full duplex audio still halves the nominal bitrate for both the microphone and media playback audio; same as when the HSP/HFP protocols we're first showcased in 1999. It's ridiculous, especially now that very few flagship devices still include a headset jack.
