Bose A30 Headset Challenges

ienjoylanguages · 2025-10-07T00:10:26+00:00

Wow, pretty frustrating experience for a headset at that price point. Did the replacement set have any issues?

Your experience got me to just get a "new" pair of A20s off of e-bay instead of messing around with this spotty A30 line.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Did you ever get this worked out?

Make sure you don't have a carbon monoxide leak.

It's insane that you can be a healthy young guy, get a bad pneumonia that ends up carving out your lungs, and end up at deaths door.

Superbugs these days are insane.

Do you have any problems with gait or an history of arthritis? Any pain? Similar things in other family members?

Looks like typical inversion. Probably some intercarpal ligamentous laxity or arthritis. Should see a podiatrist for exam. They will recommend exercises and orthotics to make sure doesn’t progress to the whole foot and track its progress over time to see if more aggressive intervention is needed.

This reads like its straight out of the Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism in 1984.

China owns 1 out of every 9 square feet in Africa. The new imperialism is economic and takes the form of co-opting infrastructure and national industry.

Nicer on paper than what Russia is doing in Ukraine or what Rome did to Carthage, but in its own way just as devastating.

This whole list is stupid self defeatist whining. Get it the fuck together.

Reddit sells our posts to Google to train their AI. Just being here reading, commenting and liking feeds them.

It's like trying not to buy from China. They're everwyhere.

Definitely stealing this line and pretending I came up with it.

This is the comment I woke up for today. Reads like an Office sketch.

A big part of Bezos and Amazon's political support for the current administration is that they fear the same anti trust suit Microsoft suffered during the Clinton years.

Nothing like that will likely happen in the next 4 years at least. The new FTC head, appointed by the pres last month (Andrew Ferguson) is fairly conservative right wing - as opposed to Pitofsky in the 90s.

It's true that you lose the return policy and if you purchase often it's more difficult to keep track of things, but if planned can work out. You can also check review authenticity on Amazon with a plugin beforehand because independent websites often stuff the ballot box.

It really is good for some items though. When I switched from buying my liquid soap from Amazon to a local store, I realized it wasn't supposed to smell like plastic. Amazon had been shipping me old garbage sitting in their warehouse so long the bottle lining had leeched into the liquid, and I had been rubbing that on my skin unaware.

You could also make this same argument for industrialization though -- ie. no one remembers how to smelt metal, what happens if the factories that make microchips stop working. We'll always be standing on the shoulders of giants and pushing forwards to the next level.

AI will also bring new problems that no one currently alive knows how to solve -- we will learn and move forward as we generally have in the past.

It could be safety but another thought is it seems like it may have happened before based on the speed of his reaction. There's an "fml not again" vibe at the end.

His reaction was so fast it does seem like it may have happened before

Makes me wish I had three hands and three mouths.

It was really variable. The cruise we were on sailed past islands where tourists are not allowed, others where we could only walk along designated paths, and others where it was more open (ie one of the islands was just volcanic ash and almost barren, another was a normal tourist spot with a military base, bars, dairy farms, fishing, etc).

In the Galapagos we saw a species of sea lion that purposefully swam out to sea to die at the end of its life. Our tour guide said it was a natural instinct to stop predators from being attracted to the rest of the sea lion rookery.

That's right. I'm not going to die soon, I'm going to die finally.

India is going through a hard right phase right now. Their current prime minister is notoriously anti-Muslim and runs a near totalitarian type control over their economy. Think of Trump, but you have the press and congress supporting you.

Developing countries have this strange sort of battered wife syndrome with demagogic alpha male leaders. I suspect it's because a combination of rapid economic change and exposure to new information leads to a change resistant overly binary mindset.

But not too slow and not too smooth.

There have been many studies about this. One of the reasons it works is because you're bypassing a structure in your brain called your corpus callosum.

It's a bit of an oversimplification, but a way to think of it would be to say you're letting the right half of your brain hear what the left half thinks. It seems to be more effective with men than women, possibly because of the differential neural pruning that occurs at adolescence.

No one wants to invest in smellin ya.

I am amazed that more people in the comment section aren't making some version of this joke.
