To be fair it’s a 5 pack It seems to be something with a switch that disconnects one of the rings of a 4 pin. Easy enough, but $5 doesn’t seem awful. Of course it doesn’t disconnect built in microphones, and with modern Apple phones getting

PSNR is a terrible way to measure video quality. SSIM is better but not great. VMAF is good but it’s skewed towards the types of material netflix has. Objective video quality is a tricky thing to do and you can easily come out with a codec

It’s a complex subject. On the one hand you have someone normally healthy who contracts covid, tests positive, and goes in for breathing difficulties. On the other hand you have someone who has tested positive but gets in a car crash. We us
