I opened the browser inspector and copied the raw text, which still has the single newlines, then doubled the newlines. --- UPS that can run my PC, monitors, USB hub for 10-30 minutes.

I've just initiated a within-30-days return for a full refund of my new Jabra Evolve2 75 headset. It comes with a USB dongle so they definitely won't be claiming it doesn't support PC use, but I don't trust a company that makes such scammy claims and I've tweeted them to say just that. Ah well, I thought I was enjoying my third Jabra product and it turns out I won't touch them with a barge pole again, unless and until they publicly retract and apologise for this behaviour. Anyone have recommendations for a good on-ear headset for (mostly) work calls?

any ANC soundcore (anker) headphones or TEMU if you fancy rolling the dice. A colleague got a clone of the Sony 1000xm4, they sounded and look very similar. For all day online calls, Jabra evolve2 65 are hard to beat for the price.
