In November 2019, Apple updated them, or rather “forked” them, releasing AirPods Pro earplugs. And I, of course, tested them - I’ve been wearing them since the start of sales in Russia.

Over time, hackers develop a nose for good—or bad—technology. I thought it might be interesting to try to outline the reasons why I find Java questionable.
