Last I checked Facebook Messenger has yet to use RNW: https://twitter.com/Eli_White/status/1422790525694844928?s=2...

RNW actually has about three teeny tiny customers that no one has heard of except for the Microsoft Store on Xbox. So much for Microsoft's "Universal" Windows Platform! Lmao

Good god, organisations/enterprises really have too much control over the browser. I believe that only top secret organisations like... The NSA need such a locked down browser for employees/students. I also believe that locking down internet access only limits ones ability to work and be happy, ultimately being detrimental to efficiency. While there are plenty of outlets for distraction, workers have managers and the work that's been done can be seen. Team chats exist.

I have to quicky switch to my earpiece from my wireless earphones whenever I receive a call just to avoid the low quality headset mode. It's so so bad. Not all wireless headsets are the same, however.

(accidentally pulled to refresh and there was no confirmation dialog. Yay deleted comment! Excuse the crudeness)

My laptop, PC, speakers, TV, console and console controller all have the headphone jack. Everything except my phone has the 3.5mm jack. I'm losing options. I don't like having to keep both.

Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo have all said that Bluetooth is not good enough for gaming and have decided to not support Bluetooth audio in their consoles.

If you only use Apple devices you're lucky to have a perfect experience with wireless earphones. Particularly due to their cleaner stack and to proprietary stuff.

The second top comment mentions longevity, right to repair, battery, etc, but we all know what you get when you buy TWS earphones. It's the general public that does not. Fingers crossed government regulation can fix that one up?

The author must have delved into a niche. I consider myself rather culturally relevant and while Tumblr aesthetics do exist of course, this one isn't mainstream. I try not to follow developers on Twitter and Instagram, as a bias check.

What would make wireless earphones and headphones more bearable is if Android and iOS allowed you to choose your own input and output devices so you can avoid the low-quality headset mode by using the mobile device's microphone.

I believe Windows 11 made some changes with Bluetooth devices to make this no longer possible which is a bummer. Bluetooth on Windows is a nightmare as is.

Apple not having removed the 3.5mm headphone jack on their new MBPs is evident of an anti-consumer, pro-profit strategy. Plain and simple. They deemed it a pro feature that they likely use themselves but it's one that isn't for mobile devices.

> In the real world, plenty of alternatives exist for practically every Electron app out there so if you don't want to use it, you don't have to.

There's choice with password managers. But look at music. You have Deezer and Spotify. The only two free services that I'm aware of that only have Electron apps on desktop. (YT Music doesn't have an app on desktop). Spotify has exclusive content. You don't have choice when apps are the same as services. Hate the Hulu interface? You can't watch The Handmaid's Tale on Netflix. It's that kind of thing.
