There's no perfect forum posters, maybe except for at least one.

Ah, got my answer. Gotcha.

They don't care. It's a niche for people that have the cash to burn on electricity. The average person does not or will not.

Ah yes, let's spend more money and technology on a problem we solved ages ago. .........

You'd have a point here if the reason people threw controllers away was because their battery pack died. But people throw controllers away because they've become cheap pieces of garbage with worthless thumbsticks and brittle buttons. The battery packs are still fine. The next issue becomes that now you have a thrown away controller, and have used more batteries on a larger scale than if you had a controller with integrated battery pack. I doubt everyone who buys an Xbox controller immediately swaps the batteries inside for rechargeable variants. Ya know, seeing how often people complain about needing to replace the batteries.

Lithium ion packs aren't proprietary (least unless you're Apple). https://www.ifixit.com/products/playstation-dualsense-controller-battery A few wires to something that provides voltage is really easy for anyone to make. And you also have the cable that came with the controller and can plug it in when you stop for the day / night.

Just... plug in your controller when you're done using it..? There are docks for that as well, it has never been an issue with built in battery packs. Sure Sony could go back to how easy it was to replace the battery pack on the Dualshock 3 controller but it's so wholly unnecessary in the first place. The battery packs last for many multiples of years. If you ever got to the point where it DID somehow die and you didn't have the know-how or care to replace it yourself then you can take it to any numerous repair shops around you and pay a few bucks to have them replace the pack. AA's, even rechargeable ones, are wasteful in resources and time and never made sense for controllers.

Now hang on a minute. I remember them making plenty of trashy articles in the early 2010s even. Now people are taking notice because they're having AI generated articles?

Despite following no studies about what actually constitutes good properties for a headlight. So.. weird..

I honestly hate new lights with a passion. They're blinding, have hard cutoffs instead of softer edges, glare in every fucking direction; they're not even better for you to see at night! My plain old yellow-white halogens do a far better job providing a safe light pattern for me and people around me than most modern lights do, which is kind of funny. Edit, to add: Lights do not need to keep getting brighter to drive at 90mph in the middle of the night, you should adjust your speed accordingly and not out-drive your lights. This increase in brightness but shitty patterns/colors is pointless and creates more dangerous drivers. Also auto-high beams, dumb. So unbelievably dumb as fuck. *lights up the world for everyone else* Homie, your lights cast in every direction and blind other drivers as is. It is not your DRLs doing that. It's your projectors being flat out wrong.

Ah but we don't care about that detail anymore, do we?

Does the pump have the misfire, or can it tell your car has the misfire?
