They definitely are, I have been using 1.6 for a while, it’s just a pain in the ass to keep updating SKSE mods or those mods that support 1.6 but only older versions because the authors don’t make mods anymore.
So, they’re giving it the Skyrim treatment. I think it’s received about 10 version updates since AE launched like 2 years ago. I ended up downloading a modlist that was 1.5.97 (the original version of Skyrim SE) and ended up sticking with it since it’s future proofed.
It would be way too much effort since they would need to remain in contact for like an hour or more, also the direct current may fry the buds. The circuit board probably does modulation and such for safe charging.
I had Bose Quiet Comfort 2 earbuds that worked great, but I got them wet (hard seltzer spilled on them). I dried them off, and cleaned them off with 90% isopropyl alcohol, popped the case open, cleaned out the liquid and cleaned off the circuit board with Isopropyl, and let it dry. I knew the buds themselves still worked perfectly because I had used them, the case was the problem.
Since they use pogo pins, there’s no way to charge them externally. Also, apparently, each set of buds is linked to only one case, so you can’t even buy another case and re-pair them and use that case for charging. I spoke with Bose and their “solution” was to sell me the QC3s for a $30 off discount.
$250 earbuds that are now useless because I can’t charge them.
My switch is hacked, I did it when they first figured out how to do it and there was no ban protection, so I’m perma-banned. He doesn’t have a switch anyway, he’d always come over and play it at my place. We’re old school.
