I understand that a few people here may play Wordle. 
If so, what's your longest winning streak?
I've heard of people in the 600s (and there's at least one professional liar politician that insists she's never lost), but I've never met any.

I play most every day (anonymously) and have never lost. But Iβve only played for a couple months so not a big accomplishment.

I really enjoy Wordle. I do hope the inventor / creator made a bundle with it. He does deserve it!
But regarding the winning streak: The news is not good. I run CCleaner at least once a day, usually in the morning just after Wordle. This gets rid of the cookie that is needed to preserve my Wordle score for that day. So my streak is always for one game!

I was up to the high 80s when Microsoft decided, against my wishes, to inflict an update of my Win10 op.system. As part of that they forced a reboot which deleted my cookies - and hence my streak.
After that I just signed up for a free NYT account. Which has the benefit that I can play either on my laptop or my phone.

I had a 400 streak back in May - The Lounge[^] - and I didn't lose that until I stopped playing at the end of October.
Then I cleared all my cookies in late November, so my best guess is around 560.

I had a steak of over 100, then lost the history, so my streak for the last 516 games is only 67.
Of course, every so often there's a word where luck is involved! 
I don't know if any of the following have ever come up, but they'd probably end a lot of streaks...
BATCH, CATCH, HATCH, LATCH, MATCH, PATCH, WATCH

Yeah, my last streak was ended by either by that or _INCH. Just ran out of chances.

I've made it close to a year. The most recent failure reported that I had a streak of one. Meaning I had missed a day, but it turned out there was a corrupted cookie it wasn't sticking. It continued reporting one for a few days and it straightend itself out.

Just got an email from them: Quote: Hello [REDACTED],
Looking for something in Webcam & Headset Bundles? We have some suggestions for you.
Then the message body is offering me these: "HP LaserJet M209dwe Wireless Black & White Printer" and "HP LaserJet MFP M234sdwe Wireless All in One Mono Printer"
Pretty sure those won't sound good strapped to my head ...

All I can imagine is, Amazone recognized you run a 3D printer and you recently googled for a headset. And finally they mixed all that up with their AI algorithm.
Now it is up to you to order a black&white headset

Start to worry when they offer you an Smith & Wesson headset.

I think it's related to the "HP printer infection" (W11 free ranging HP printer driver installs).

Well, I just bought an Anker Soundcore Q20i wireless headphone and was pretty amazed by what it offered at less than 40 Euros, it even has ANC. A bit too much bass for my taste though, but with the equalizer in the app you can normalize that.

I'm still fine with my Sennheiser HD<can'trememberthenumberandhaveLawOfTheCat> - they are 20 odd years old, on their second set of foam and wiring, still are comfortable and excellent sounding. They are however completely useless and printing stuff ...

I think this is how marketing works:
1. get your attention with one thing
2. change your attention to another thing
3. confuse you so you are thinking about both things.
4. YOU WILL BUY BOTH THINGS NOW!!!! YOU'RE MIND IS CONTROLLED BY OUR ALGORITHNMSS!!!
5. Resistance is futile!!!
6. Logic is illogic and illogic is logic!!!
7. You will buy what we want you to buy.
8. All your base are belong to us

I've never seen it laid out quite like that, but I agree!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
