I use bxactions (not FOSS) to use it as a play/pause button. Can easily pause and skip tracks keeping the phone in my pocket.

I've not tried it but if you've got some electrical contact cleaner you could spray some in, move it around a bit and see if it resets back to centre. Let it dry out for a bit before powering it on.

As far as I know a lot of controllers (joycons, DS5, etc.) Have the same issue as they all use the same internal part.

You could possibly order one and have a go at replacing it. Seems a lot for something defective pretty much right out the box though.

Fair point, I also make a point of only buying ones that have a removable cable for that reason.

I did also recently, as a geeky project, get some Mackie mc-100 headphones and mod them to take a removable 3.5mm cable.

I have too many pairs of headphones and have been buying more wired ones rather than Bluetooth as they just don't last as long (they are convenient, I'll admit).

The 3.5mm Jack is just so handy to have ratger than a dongle (SD card for storing all the music helps too).

Picked one with a funny name and the admin seemed quite relaxed but it appears to have gone offline permanently.

A lot of them have already said they'd withdraw (facetime, iMessage, signal, WhatsApp included).

The boys and Call of Duty. Unfortunately I know this doesn't work out.

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.
