you haven't achieved true chud until louis rossman tells you in person that the product you dedicate your life to repairing looks like a trash can (my beloved homepod)

You would believe how dumb difficult this is. They eat up TWO U6-ENTERPRISE APs to work most of the time. It took three phones as old as iOS 17 and three Apple IDs to set up / update them all. My personal account hasn’t been able to set up a HomePod in years. I have been forsaken

Sound glow still works with the volume turned all the way down! Cool if you want to mix AirPlay with other speakers that don’t sync well with HomePods, but still get the visuals The volume STAYS down when you change the master volume, too 😌

Alright ALRIGHT! I guess I’m the HomePod guy, so I’m obligated to tear down the new Mini for you on launch day. I’ll be hanging out with Patreon members for a sneak peek in our discord before we start the public teardown stream. I look forward to tearing into YOU 🫵 soon.

…no. Not exactly. What this means is they aren’t actually repairing any of them; any broken units will get outright swapped out. Which means they won’t be selling parts. They figured out that if they don’t offer a repair for something, they don’t have to sell parts either.

You're freaking out because the repair price is slightly less than the retail price?

Ask them why they still don’t sell parts for the 2nd gen HomePod, which would otherwise fall well within right to repair laws;

Syng is out here jacking the price of their speaker up to $3,600 (launched at $1,800 5 YEARS AGO) I am out here turning them into toys and fixing them despite their refusal to sell parts or support repair.
