Celebrating/talking about repairing stuff, the right to repair stuff, and the intersection of tech and solarpunk ideals.
What does it mean to use what we have, including technology, to try to build a better, more environmentally just world?

I had these and had the same battery problem. I ordered some replacement batteries and replaced the one that was having issues. They were great again for a while. Then the other one started having issues. Then I accidentally damaged the ribbon cable while taking that one apart. Now they're junk. I'm still pissed about it. It would have been so easy for them to make replacing the batteries easy.
Unfortunately they make obscene money selling these, and allowing the user to replace the batteries easily does not equal selling more sets. Your average user would likely just purchase a new set.
