Their reporting of the non repairability seems mostly factual and drama free to me, in what way is it ridiculous or disproportionate ?
Also I think it would dishonest to just ignore or brush off these kind of issues for products that we see as marvel of engineering. Any choice has tradeoffs, recognizing the product strengths should go hand in hand with also acknowledging what it sacrifices.
For a single customer it might be not worth to do that kind of analysis, but I expect reviews and teardowns to highlight these dark spots we otherwise don’t think about as simple consumers.
- chrisseaton 8y agoThey say it makes them ‘cry’ and it’s a ‘hot mess’.
- zakki 8y agoBecause we will see them in millions
- ddingus 8y agoLike cigarette butts
- pronouncedGod 8y agoWhen I smoked I used a small “pocket can” that was shaped like a trash can to hold my butts until I came back around to a proper garbage can. I then switched to non-filters and, even though they lack the cellulose filter, I still used the can. I hate seeing cigarette butts everywhere. It might be because my first job in high school was sweeping the parking lot.
- ddingus 8y agoMan I contributed to that mess. Did not care. Lol, I often will pick them up today. I do not smoke now. Good on you for the can, back then.
- pronouncedGod 8y agoI would pick them up these days, but in my part of the country it’s almost dangerous to touch anything from a stranger that could be personal use. Rampant IV drug abuse and exploding hepatitis cases. It might be paranoia, but I don’t touch anything that could be personal use.
- ddingus 8y agoGloves are what I use. With you otherwise.
- chrisseaton 8y agoFine, but crying and hot messes are dramatics not facts.
- libraryatnight 8y agoI thought it was just adding some style/personality to the writing. Rather than saying "We were disappointed by the messy internals." It hardly felt dramatic.
- PascLeRasc 8y agoThere are actual facts in the article and a summary of facts at the bottom. Most humans find a list of facts a bit boring to read so we like to spice up our language and use metaphors and hyperbole.
- chrisseaton 8y ago> we like to spice up our language and use metaphors and hyperbole Yes I know - dramatics.
