I agree with you, but most tech support (tier 1‚ anyway) is just following a set of prompts anyway, so it’s barely better. At least with the recording I can abuse it without feeling bad.
I had a problem with Verizon service, and the troubleshooting app (not audio prompts, just answering questions in the app) actually solved it in about 5 minutes, and introverted me didn’t have to do a phone call or chat. So the experience can be good, sometimes.
I remember back in the 90’s seeing news stories about the Taco Bell Doritos War in Iraq.
Serious question: what do you not like about snaps? I find the isolation and dependency desolation to be pretty great.
I use these:
TECNO B1 Bluetooth Headphones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X2JSMHZ
And they will reliably pair to two devices, including some combination of my laptop, phone, and TV. My only complaint is that sometimes when they are paired to my PC, they won’t turn off until I unpair them.
They are pretty awkward with the neck weights, but the battery life is fantastic. They appear to have the same software in them as my older ones that were sold under the brand TaoTronics, which was banned from Amazon for something.
If you find something, please post back, I’d love to find a less awkward pair of headphones that does this.
Sprinkle some salsa and sour cream on it before you bake. I know it sounds weird, but it is so good.
