What? My 20 years of flying regularly with 3.5mm headphones must have been a very long hallucination.

I said earphones and you're talking about headphones

I don't care about them, the seatbelt light is either on or off, don't bother me with what the temperature is at our destination

Yet I haven't heard of an earphone with this functionality

They make both, you dense idiot.

When I bought my house it took the old owner ages to reroute all of her mail to whatever her new address was. At one point sje had a credit card sent to her and it came to my house along with the PIN number.

If I'd been so inclined I could have withdrawn all the money from her account.

Meanwhile when I moved in I spent the first 2 days basically doing nothing other than making sure all of my mail was coming to my new address.

People are just really bad at thinking

I've definitely seen them in American airlines at least in the business class. That was about 2014 ish so I'd be surprised if it hasn't become anything other than more commonplace.

It doesn't work that way. They're piped through all audio channels at maximum volume.

During the early days of Android phones, when most of them shipped with open bootloaders and still had microsd card slots, I've seen so many store display phones that were flashed with cyanogenmod by random people

Also consider smart watches.

I've been on budget flights where the in-flight infotainment was an app on your phone which connects to a media server on the plane. Everyone was watching with Bluetooth headphones and there were no issues.

I haven't found a single model of wired noise canceling earphones in existence

[email protected]

If it could, planes would be dropping right and left. It hasn't been an issue in several decades

Don't care, gaming on my steam deck

[email protected]

And because you haven't found them, they must not exist?

I'll humor you. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. "Earphones" is a somewhat nebulous term. Perhaps that has muddied your search results. From context, it would seem you seek wired in-ear headphones with active electronic noise-canceling.

No darkmode... Pedestrian flash banging the plane

[email protected]

Probably just don't know what dark mode is

[email protected]

This is one where it isn't just that though. You know there would be people who'd wait for someone to go to the bathroom or fall asleep and then walk past and hit the OK button for them.

I think they went the other way.
