Man open-sources the self-repairable AirPods Pro case that Apple won’t make::The AirPods Pro “could have been easily made repairable with minimal effort.”
Don’t buy products that are clearly anti-consumer and you won’t have issues like this. Of course Apple devices may as well be jewelry at this point. Who even cares if they’re charged? Just nod your head like there’s something going on.
It’s honestly great, but the last two AirPods I have had had the earbuds’ battery go out before the case’s battery did. I tried fixing the earbuds’ battery at home and it was a complete mess of glue and ribbon cable hanging out. I wish someone had a viable solution for those. I loved my AirPods but the battery dying as quick as it did was enough for me to never buy more.
Yeah, it’s one of those tech that just feels way too disposable in design despite what their cost would imply, which scares me off from them.
I used The Swap Club to replace my wife’s AirPods about six months ago but since then they always seem sold out.
I can’t see anything about the licence being open source. He makes you jump through hoops to get the files so I can’t tell for certain.
what a chad
indubitably

Now watch Apple add some component that checks if your pods are in an official Apple case before starting to charge

Now watch the legit users’ pods stop charging due to malfunction of said component while the hackerman uses it no problem with the component removed

I’d rather watch people stop buying products from these shitty anti-consumer corporations.
