the slow migration from wired to wireless accessories, with wired equivalents of modern tech being phased out.
i understand that they're more convenient for most people, i'm not against the technology entirely and have used some wireless tech before.
but when i'm trying to get something for my desktop, there is literally no reason for me to use a wireless alternative and have to deal with all of the drawbacks that technology comes with (e.g. battery management and automatic power timeouts).
for example, my friend had recently obtained a set of wireless speakers and they have the incredible feature of turning off after ten seconds of no sound to save power, which is fine, but the problem comes in with the speakers taking at least two seconds to respond to sound output and turn themselves back on.
this results in the first two seconds of anything he listens to being completely dropped and there's no way to disable this without playing a constant, low humming sound.
apparently he does not see a problem with this and the way he resolves the problem is to simply restart playback of the video/song to compensate.
