Brother laser printers last for years without issue. My point was that so long as you put in a little effort to find something that isn’t cheap shit you can actually get a product without any major issues.
Cheap wireless earbuds will fail, and will cause all sorts of frustration. On the other hand, well sourced earbuds will work for years without problems, just like printers.
I’ve got a WWII Japanese bolt gun and the action on that thing is just so dang smooth. If the kick wasn’t so bad and the rounds weren’t so expensive I’d be taking it to the range a whole lot more than I currently do. I really should add a lever gun too.
