I assume you mean the Jabra* Elite, which I own (both the 65t and 75t). They're fine but I am not a fan of the shape and design and they are less comfortable than my Airpods Pro (corroborated by multiple reviews). They're also less convenient to use, even when I connect my Airpods to Android/non-Apple devices. I don't hold loyalty to any brand but it's just as eye roll inducing when people suggest X product is bad because they're made by Y company.

How is this a flimsy reason? Trying to paint this decision as an example of oppression is either ignorant or dishonest. Her actions would have gotten almost anyone fired from any company. If the accounts from ex/current-Googlers are true about her being difficult to work with and creating an uncomfortable work environment I would have expected Timnit to have been terminated long ago.

It's a bit ridiculous to me that the current climate necessitates that people of particular backgrounds are more or less convenient to fire.

This is not at all what Timnit was fired for. There is a enforced conformity at most large companies in terms of "approved" politics, but Timnit was not fired for going against the grain here. In fact, by all reports she was disliked internally for disingenuously using progressivism to further her own career. Timnit was also not fired for criticizing Google's stance on privacy and data collection.

This just seems like an offensive on a corporation in an otherwise unrelated topic.
