      I have a lot of apple kit - I appreciate their over-engineered approach to a lot of hardware, and I like their approach to privacy.

      But they do make mistakes in design - the puck, the aerials, butterfly keyboards, unrepairability of design…

      And one thing I really hate is their response to those errors. Its almost always to blame the user. I just wish they would be honest.

      I don’t buy logos. I buy products that solve problems in my daily life. Apple comes to be very very good at offering appropriate solutions I don’t need to deal with beforehand to become such a solution. In this case of course the product is crap, if it can’t handle the environment its supposed to work in.

    That’s insane. I have the same Bose over-the-ear (I can’t stand in-ear) headphones for years. They have been to the gym with me, jogging, and just existing in a humid, Tokyo summer for the last 5.5 years and have zero electronic issues. I did replace the exterior cushiony bit twice now, but the actual electronics are fine.
