It’s cheap, though, & light, so it gets put in lots of things…
Making tech “disposable” so as to use enforced-obsolescence for repeat-sales, may be “profitable”, but it wastes people’s earnings & effort, too.
While wasting the world we’re inhabiting.

I’m not happy about jackxit either, but this is just like people buying vinyl. This person would probably get the same feeling in a test with BT headphones and a faux cable.

I a I’ll have and use LG hb800 headsets that I bought like 7-10 years ago, and the batteries still last me the day
