Check out linsoul if you are in the EU or massdrop if you are in the US.

There are a huge amount of basic, low cost earphone manufacturers. The budget audiophile community can also provide more targeted help if needed, just be sure to include more info like price range, how you plan to use the headphones and what quality you expect, to get more helpful advice.

I'm currently using a €25 set which have almost identical sounds quality to my €200 headphones in many situations.

I understand the sentiment you are going for, but I think it is a little cheap regarding the opinion of 300 million+ people.

In my horribly narrow opinion, the American freedom is simply the freedom to choose. Nothing more, nothing less. The freedom to own a tiger, buy a tank or be "Florida man" for a day.

It is not "free" from manipulation and sometimes it really feels like a 5 year old choosing to do the opposite of the right thing just "because".

Sidenote: I ABSOLUTELY do not think it is the best way to build a nurturing society, but I get why it has such a passionate supporter base.

The buds used to ship free with the Fairphone 5 if I remember correctly...

If you map this to the political compass instead, I'll give you a virtual high five.

[6] Rubio reiterated on February 16 that Trump wants to see the war end in a way that "protects Ukraine's sovereignty," and US Special Presidential Envoy for Russia and Ukraine Keith Kellogg stated on February 15 that Russia must make territorial concessions during negotiations.[7]

The report appears to not mention Trump's comments and actions, which do not seem to coincide with the envoy's comments. Is there a reason for this not being included?

As far as I understand, the CCP has a central procurement system where it purchases a significant portion of the expected need for a drug in bulk each year. This "forces" the drug companies to offer a much lower price (or lose the sale to a competitor), allowing the medication to be provided cheaper to the people. Similar models exist in most countries with a form of centralised health care. In China however, there have been reports of close to break-even or loss prices for the manufacturers, leading to potential cutting of corners by the manufacturers.

Wouldn't capatilistic be allowing the companies to sell their drugs for a higher price to end users directly?

Regulations only work in improving the well-being of the single market if the local producers can remain competitive after implementation. There are a small number of regulations in the EU which have damaged local manufacturers without significant improvement in quality of life e.g the medical device regulation. I do not know enough about the ai regulation to understand if it is for for purpose or not however.

Given the "free for all" other countries appear to be giving their AI systems, the EU may look to re-consider the ai regulation's implementation.

You mean the underpaid people who often try their best, pay for materials (and sometimes even class parties) out of their own pocket and enter into one of the least rewarding professions are as a whole, bastards?

This teacher may be a clown, but don't try lump them in with a 30 second sound byte from a clown. She may just be sick of all the autistic jokes she has to hear.

My teachers turned up each day and put up with me and the class often being little shits, I am eternally grateful for them.

Also, if you rename special needs care as "accessibility" then in 2 years that will become the next insult.

Raheem Sterling, I hope you prove literally the entirety of the footballing world wrong and show you are not done!

This is not correct. Bluetooth is a radio frequency communication tool. RF is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and does, in fact, "move' at the speed of light.
