What's the most overrated tech brand right now, and why do you think people still buy it?
Apple, because they're ignorant. Here's some examples of the insane rip off of Apple. They just came out with a new strap and case, the case is $49 or $59 depending on the choices and the strap is $59, for a $5 strap. They have a new Magsafe battery pack that has 1420mah for $99!! Woo!! you can get

What would you buy to make life easier?
My two most expensive autism-related purchases were Sony WH1000-XM5 noise cancelling headphones, and the best weighted blanket I could find. Both of them are worth every cent.

Headphones: I don't want to be approached but also need to hear if the sky(folding) is falling.
Most over ear headphones with a closed back will do the job. I mean, you could do an open back if you really want to hear everything around you, but there is also sound leakage with them. I’ve had numerous over ear, on ear, and IEMs ranging from 50 dollars to around a 1000 dollars. None of the over

What's YOUR current best Noise Cancelling Headphones that you absolutely swear by?
Sony WH-1000XM5. Expensive but I use them for hours every single day. No regrets at all over a year later.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 is the best in terms of quality for price but I want the apple air pods max because they’re pretty but I don’t want to irresponsibly spend 500 dollars 😞

Access to Sorbonne library as an NYU student in Paris
i studied abroad last year and ran into the same thing. sorbonne library is usually restricted but there's a great cafe called Le Peloton just down the street. honestly noise cancelling earbuds saved me in paris - the cafes get loud but you can still focus. Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are pricey but

Looking for headphones that don't fall off when I bend over!
I have sony wh-1000xm5 and they are almost nonexistent on my head sensory-wise. And they are AMAZING in anc. But my head is rather big, so maybe it won’t be the best click for you… they are a bit pricey but boy oh boy is it worth it

Extremely disappointed with the noise canceling of the Sony WH-1000XM5
Recently bought the WH-1000XM5 and oh my God, the ANC is far worse than I expected after reading reviews online.
It's better than nothing for sure, but that's about it.
Someone talking, a child crying, a phone ringing or your own mouse clicks? Yeah, all of that will be perfectly heard even when A
