    He’s definitely the guy at the gym walking around shouting on phone calls so everyone can see how important he is.

    “leading the charge in AI marketing”

    Oh just say you’re a con artist, it’s less gross.

      One of my little hobbies when LinkedInLunatics comes up is to immediately look at their title.

      It relates to AI more often than not.

    I have a pair of earbuds in each of my two vehicles, a pair at work and a pair at my desk at home, but my earbuds cost $20 a pair

    I also have multiple pairs for different uses. Not airpods, but normal Bluetooth earbuds. Mostly because I got cheap ones and somehow one side always stops working and I need to have a working pair for the gym.

    I don’t understand why you’d want to wear these for all activities. I’m very happy plugging in a wired over ear headphones with mic for work and leaving them there.

    Lol, should I be impressed? I own a pair of Apple AirPod Pro’s, bought them in part because I worked with a MacBook at the time and admittedly they worked together very well. They now live somewhere in a drawer, to be forgotten for all eternity, as that is the only fate they deserve.

    Sound quality (music)? Might be taste, but nothing to write home about.

    Reliably connecting with anything that’s not an Apple product? Lol

    Firmware upgrades if you don’t own an Apple phone? Rofl

    Had to return them twice because of a manufacturing error (there even was an official replacement program) and Apple, being the cheap-ass SoB’s they are, would only replace the right pod as that one had issues. So of course two weeks after my set was returned the left one started acting up as well.

    But the cherry on top: the other reason I bought them was the noise cancelling. It was during Covid and I would work in the same room as my GF, so being able to not having to listen in on her calls was necessary for me. The original pods had fantastic noise cancelling, where the replacements did an absolutely and utterly shitty job. The most important feature, the justification for their existence: removed. Great job Apple, great job.

    Never again.

    Sorry for the rant, the hatred runs deep I guess.
