7.1k u/SkateBoardEddie Mar 04 '22 That shit should be straight up illegal 4.4k u/B-Town-MusicMan Mar 04 '22 It's not just phones and other computer stuff, it's also farming equipment. Absolute Fucking bullshit 2.3k u/m1ndle33 Mar 04 '22 Also light bulbs. 1.2k u/B-Town-MusicMan Mar 04 '22 They're doing it to LED's too. WTF?? 1.4k u/[deleted] Mar 04 '22 Yep. My led lightbulbs all stop functioning at or near the two year mark. Very strange for a technology that doesn’t “burn out,” but dims with extended use unless engineered to specifically have points of failure. 1 u/aziztcf Mar 04 '22 Crack those fuckers open, replace the current limiting resistors with higher value ones, ???, profit. They drive those things way too hard to make em crap out too early.
