And looking for reasons to buy new versions of things: phones, laptops, gaming devices, etc. Bonus points if they're on the edge of not being able to afford it at all.

I bought my dad airpods to go with his iPad, he never uses them and insists on using some cheap shit bone conducting headset thing that he wears wrong with the bone conduction pads over his ear holes.

I empathize with your dad on this, one, cannot stand how most earbuds plug up your ears. You might wanna get your dad more expensive bone-conducting headset, or at least open-ear earbuds

Highly recommend Koss KSC75s for that. They're basically small headset pads with hooks to go over the ears. Decent sound and no ear plugging
