Sugar and cocaine aside, it’s a beverage. An alternative to water or wine.

Look up what it was when it was founded. Then add the timing and customer adoption, and then learn about marketing and brand recognition strategies from the people who wrote the book.

Coke is the iPhone of beverages.

Illegal for you, but not illegal for the big boys.

I saw a dog shit Lenovo laptop jacked up to $3,000 yesterday with a Black Friday tag of $650.

The laptop was barely worth $650. No dedicated GPU, sub par screen, average specs.

All this Black Friday stuff is just a trap at this point.

Kinda off topic, but kinda on topic too:

Does anyone know where I can find statistics on house fires caused by old/faulty batteries combusting?

If I had to guess, I would say that such cases are on the rise and people have lots of old lithium batteries just sitting in droors. I’ve got old phones in my house that I can’t even find anymore.

When you have a group of enthusiasts gathered around, certain things will tend to dominate the conversation. Certain headphones will gain praise over most. (To an alarming degree, which is where I agree with ya)

So when ten people praise a thing, more people will buy the thing, then more people will praise it, while a percentage will have a negative experience.

It’s not only headphone preference. There’s an even greater enthusiast market for listening sources. A different source can give someone a totally different experience. And from what I’ve heard, the hd600 is a very amp dependent headphone. So people are hearing different experiences in general.

There’s also a fuck ton of snake oil coming outta YouTube reviewers that flows into this forum.

It all just makes for a VERY frustrating hobby, when you can’t just try the shit before you buy it. I’m the type of guy that will do a stupid amount of research before I settle on something. It’s why I like the Deva over the Sundara.
