Thanks for getting back to me. The rewards was why I signed up. Welp.

Hadn’t used Firefox in ages. Stuck it back on asking with uBlock. Quite liking how it blocks pages from jumping to an app.

I just need to work out how override it when I actually do occasionally want to follow a link to the playstore!

What’s the sneak stuff in Brave?

I mean it shouldn’t be too much of an issue for manufacturers to make the change to these products to allow for replacement batteries. These devices being useless after only the battery failing is definitely an issue.

What you’ve described should be avoidable.

If they are in ears/over ears you could have a look online for teardowns. Some headphones can have the battery replaced it’s just not “official” and would invalidate any warranty but it looks like you’ve maybe not got too much to use.

Nice, good to see it starting to happen.

I’ve seen a few comments about Bluetooth headphones and TWS earbuds but I don’t think it’s really too much of an issue. For over ear style headphones Steel Series have already proved the concept as they have a headset that has hot swappable rechargeable batteries. No reason other manufacturers can’t design a fitted one that could be replaced.

As for TWS buds, so many of these must already be in landfill when the tiny batteries give out. We’ve already got rechargeable batteries for hearing aids that can be replaced by the user. I’m sure something similar could be achieved for TWS buds.

Nice one cheers

How do you follow a tag? I’ve got the Mastodon App and Tusky and can’t work it out on either.
