Don't take this as me trying to excuse Apple, but what's stopping me from throwing a big flat rock onto the airpods when the battery dies and collecting and recycling the pieces in their respective bin(assuming theres infrastructure for it)?

A cloud of toxic gases that'll either instantly kill me or give me cancer in a year or ten? It says fire in the garbage compactor but is that applicable if I just toss the rock on em?

Hey guy.

Don't crush lithium batteries.

But isn't the point that they're really tiny, so wouldn't the fireball be tiny? I'm really wondering if you'd also die by toxic gasses or if it's just a fireball.

My state made it so that tenants have more time to pay rent late before they can be evicted. What's happening is it's going from three days late on rent to fourteen days late before a landlord can evict and a lotta folks on the local boards are acting like it's the end of the world.

No it's one of those devices that doesn't work unless it connects to a server, and the server has the device # on the "recycled" list. The device is effectively permabanned by the manufacturer and it didn't even screenshot their post history.

Based on the tweets it seems like it stops the software working, and also registers it as having been recycled so other people can't register it? I've never used a sonos product to my knowledge, so I don't know what's involved in terms of registering the product.

Yeah, the Sonos thing is that since you have to use their app and servers to use the device, it just bans the device from their servers. The machine still works inside, but the server won't connect to it. You'd probably have to physically hardwire a new jack or something, though I'm not sure even that would work.

You would need to set up your own sonos servers and flash the firmware to look for your pirate server. This likely is illegal but more importantly is pointless since the only reason to get a sonos over other comparable devices is for the :nsacloud: stuff.

Both versions have also only gotten middling reviews for sound quality and noise isolation, so it's not even like you're getting a quality product

Airpods have been utterly trashed before in this very thread before it became endless pages of tedious text bickering and stanning loving Apple products

i like apple's design because they dont do noise cancelilng, although i agree airpods are dumb so i use the old wired ones

It's probably a reference to a story from the Salvadoran civil war where the death squads supposedly killed a whole family and nailed their severed heads to their hands to arrange them sitting around the table with their heads in their laps or some such scene.

the adults hands were placed there, the toddlers wouldn't stay put thus the nails

That's right, my laptop becomes unusable after 18 months and is so small I can drop it down a sewer grate because I sneezed. These two things are definately identical and not artificially conflated at all.
