You would need to put your keys in a faraday cage.

Distance doesn't matter, as they can just use a bigger antenna or better amplifier. You find footage of people using large loops of wire to capture the signal from the keys

It doesn't, but shipping is $5, still way cheaper.

Also, free shipping only kicks in at $35, so technically this doesn't either.

Cheap items/electronics can be more expensive on Amazon than direct, though.

I only use wired headphones. I don't like earbuds, and Bluetooth headphones are too bulky and need charging.

So? I know they get hot, that's what 200-300W means. But when you said "there isn’t a single laptop in the windows world that can match anything apple does", you were wrong. Laptops with GPUs still win in performance.

Stop moving the goalposts.

Any laptop with a recent GPU will beat an Apple Laptop for performance. Some higher end CPUs too.

Apple has really good power efficiency, which is great when unpluged, but plugged in laptops with 200 to 300W TDPs are still better.

Yeah, if you use earbuds, Bluetooth is so much better. I don't know why wired earbuds are so garbage, but I had two die in three years. My headphones still work after seven, but the pads are worn off, so I stopped using them

Wired Earbuds or Headphones? Most wired earbuds are crap, so it makes sense to use Bluetooth. Wired Headphones should not break. I don't want to argue with your experiences, but I have never seen headphones break. I used a pair for seven years, and only stopped using it wasn't worth it to buy new pads (the headphones cost $20, pads $10).

They have expandable storage on a lot of cheaper phones, as well as Aux ports. I chose my phone, the A23 5g, over the A53 because of the Aux port, and it is still an amazing phone.

A bunch of Matrix bridges on one platform, with some extra funding. It looks cool, but isn't lifechanging. It is designed to (hopefully) make it easier to use, but if you don't care, you can set up the bridges yourself on your own matrix server.

A lot of social media companies aren't profitable, but they didn't care because of cheap loans and lots of investors. Now that loans are more ecpensive and investors want AI, social media companies are realizing, "We need to make money, or investors will hate us", and are locking things down. Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, and Tumblr are some of the examples we see. All trying to push subscriptions or block adblockers.
