Audio latency with Bluetooth screws up things like music lessons in Duolingo.
A few weeks ago I was gardening with Pixel Buds on and one dropped into a pile of leaves. I spent ten minutes looking for the thing. Then the other day the same one dropped into the garbage disposal while I was doing the dishes.
I don't mind the cheap Bluetooth headphones I have that wrap around my ear slightly. I can run in those without them dropping out.
When I want audio quality I use some over-ear Bose headphones.
I have no idea how people are ok with just the little buds for all use-cases.
Did you manage to extract it from the garbage disposal?
Yep. It felt like the beginning of something from a horror movie, but I still have both hands.
Hopefully you unplugged it from the wall and drained the capacitors before reaching down. xD
Glad you still have hands!
I did not. It only fell to where the spinning blades are, I wouldn't have expected that to have any live electrical components.
