Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
Be excellent to each other.

figured id add it here since no one is talking about it but may be interested.

i bought the fairbuds recently and had them shipped to my county because im tired of having non replaceable batteries in my ears. and they have replaceable battries!

but that being said, you can not watch video with those headphones because the bluetooth type is too old, so i only use them for music...but for that price...bro. how?

but the worst part is, the battery they use while it looks like a cell battery is proprietary!? so if the company fails, so do my fairbuds. and yeah, i could buy a bunch and stock up, but batteries have use by dates as far as im aware.

i just cant believe nearly every bit of tech doesn't have replaceable batteries. headphones, mics etc. and no one is talking about it in popular reviews.

And yet they could've been really green just keeping the jack so you could use headphones that don't need batteries at all.

Green washing imo
