@realitista@andrew_bidlaw they're really not good in loud places like a plane (for you) in my experience the person you're on a call with will hear you just fine, but being open-ear designs they just can't compete with jets.
They are very good for having background music going in offices and such - you can hear it, but you can have conversations over it without any trouble
@wjrii@JohnnyCanuck Way Back When(TM) I worked at a telco, we had a customer go over seas on a sales trip, used his phone like normal, and then came home to a phone bill up around $35k.
I don't know how much he made while overseas, but he wasn't that upset about the phone bill, outside of him kicking himself for forgetting to get a data pack.
@andrewrgross@lolrightythen I think some of the streaming services are starting to realise they can make more money licensing shows to netflix than they will standing up their own entire streaming service and hoping they have enough good shows to grab customers.
