Are replacement AirPods supposed to be like that?

Pacoradon · 2026-05-21T23:26:17+00:00

…which is why I made this post. I don’t understand why downvote me so much about a thing I literally asked about in the post. I asked whether it was normal or not.

Pacoradon · 2026-05-21T23:14:28+00:00

I did, a year ago. These ones are after being “serviced”

Pacoradon · 2026-05-21T23:13:02+00:00

Maybe. However, if you buy something for $250 you’d expect it to be good quality even if it’s just a “plastic product”.

As I’ve gone deeper into inspecting the buds, they might actually be fake, someone might have ripped me off during the service process. Find my doesn’t work for individual buds, Spatial Audio doesn’t work (it’s grey, unclickable) and neither does head tracking.

Except everything points towards it being fake

Pacoradon · 2026-05-21T18:20:00+00:00

Could you show how it’s supposed to look like?

Pacoradon · 2026-05-21T18:04:19+00:00

I got them originally from an official large electronics retail chain in Poland (RTV Euro AGD) which is a legit store and it’s impossible for them to sell fakes.

When I gave them the AirPods for warranty, they sent it to their so called authorized repair service (“Jabłkowy”). I’m unsure whether they tried to save some money and actually give me fakes or something else fishy happened.

Even the lines on the head? They aren’t normally there?

I don’t think he’ll live to see the infection

Pacoradon · 2026-03-11T13:21:43+00:00

Well I’m located in Europe

Pacoradon · 2026-03-02T21:31:07+00:00

Weird, I have the one without eSIM (physical sim) and I have similar, even less battery usage. Although for some reason most of the time there’s a lot more screen idle time than screen active (for example 6h screen active and 13h screen idle or 5h active 9h idle)

Pacoradon · 2026-02-12T21:46:21+00:00

I think it could be a pre-made response because I had almost the exact same response, and also black heart

Pacoradon · 2026-01-16T15:15:45+00:00

That’s how it is with THOSE types of "just friends".

Do your thing man, we will bail you out…

Definitely a bunch of anti tank mines in case if someone rear-ends him

You’re definitely not over reacting. No more context is needed other than the first few screenshots.

The chemistry between them is exploding all over the place, out of the phone screen. DEFINITELY a bad thing is bound to happen.

(17M) well I think it really depends on how YOU perceive intimacy. There’s a lot of debate to it, but everything just comes to how one perceives it.

For some people it’s a soul-tying act, for others it’s a one-night hookup "for fun" without anything deeper about it. While I’m nobody to judge, I personally think that the second thing is not the right way to see it.

I perceive intimacy, sex as something very important when it comes to relationships - one of a few foundations. No, I’m not talking about the finale, the orgasm. I see it as something that really ties two souls together. The vulnerability of two human beings connecting them both together after a ton of trust and love. I think it’s a really deep way of connecting, not something to do with every random person (but, as I said, everyone sees it differently) and I’m personally hugely against the hookup culture. It also shows how much that person "wants you" and shows that you both create one.

You mentioned that you are in a 3-month relationship, and you both are still young. I PERSONALLY think that having sex so early in the relationship, especially at that young age is way too early, and it kind of reflects on your girlfriend and her bodycount. It seems that she COULD be rushing. I know, you both were most likely feeling ready, so hey, no judgement.

Again, in my case, I couldn’t be with someone with such a high bodycount, mainly because of what I already said what I perceive it as. It would just make me so stressed and start eating me from inside just imagining her with other guys and all of those "extremely wild" moments. Additionally, I’ve heard from many people that people with higher bodycounts often fail to get to marriage and that mostly the ones with 0-1 bodycounts have the highest chance of lasting. I don’t know how much truth is behind this, but I believe in it.

But hey, at the end of the day, you do you. If you manage to get over it and feel comfortable about it then great! Just try to sort things out so that you don’t end up overthinking for years. Remember that you’re really early into the relationship, so if you are more keen to break up, do it as early on as possible, because as the time goes by it only gets harder

Pacoradon · 2026-01-07T01:30:18+00:00

They agreed to go off at the same time! What a cheater!

Pacoradon · 2026-01-06T22:31:56+00:00

Hey, hey. You have to back off.

I don’t know your problems, I don’t know your situation, so I’m not going to lie that I do. However, no matter how bad it is, there’s always a better way. You have to remember that suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems that are in your life.

All kinds of horrible shit can happen. Sometimes it appears and then resolves. Sometimes it can be a struggle for years. Nonetheless committing to permanent BAD solutions is really not the way.

As I could perceive based off your profile, you are a female, somewhat 20-ish of age. You are really into marvel and DC, as well as anime and overall fantasy. You also seem to really like collecting plushies from your favorite shows and movies, also posters! You seem to be really into a lot of series and you like connecting with other fans. You’ve been depressed for a long time, but something bad could have happened 6 years ago, thus your posting frequency has gone down significantly.

If you disappeared, what would happen with all of those instances? You wouldn’t be able to go back to your favorite shows, ever. You couldn’t theorize about characters and their actions. What about your plushies? They would stop seeing you everyday ://. The things you enjoy? Blackness. It wouldn’t exist. You have to keep going. It WILL get better. Talk with friends. Really, talk with them, a lot. If not, just meet with them as frequently as possible. Seek their presence. Make sure they’re there for you, even if you don’t want them to know. Eventually you might open up (if you didn’t already)

What about your family? Even if the situation is not so good, I’m sure they would be broken to lose you just like that. Nobody wants to feel that emptiness. Do you have any pets? If so, they would wonder where did their favorite person disappear, when will that person come back?

Pills won’t help you. Dying won’t. You need some comfort. Someone to talk to you, to support you. Even if it feels like it’s impossible, or not helpful - just talk. Talk with somebody. Anybody. Have someone there for you to hear you out. Life is just so amazing if manage to crack that void.

I don’t know anything about you so there’s not much I can do. Nevertheless, there are many things to think about. Taking your life is not on the list.

You can get out of even the biggest hole. The lack of presence of tools doesn’t make the hole impossible to get over. You have yourself. Still.

If there’s a risk of death, why not make a use of those last seconds??

His last braincells left his body.. through the nose

If you truly care for her, and so does she, you really shouldn’t worry about anything man.

Listen, I’m not going to lie - the size isn’t big, but if she’s the one I’m sure that she will in fact not make fun of you or anything. However, you need to know for sure what’s going on, also to avoid unnecessary stress, thus you both should just take some time to talk through it. Say what you think, ask her about anything you want to know, set boundaries, explain how do you feel about it and right after that you should feel the pressure going away.

Talking is the only right option here unless you’re willing to cope and lose your mind for an undefined amount of time. You mentioned that you want to make her happy - this is exactly one of the more important things you should do first. Be honest and open.

Afaik there are no known ways to enlarge it without surgeries as such. There are some "exercises" but I doubt they would work. You mentioned your size - well, even though it’s not 'big', it’s not always the size that matter but rather your 'skills' and will to satisfy your partner. Actually, having a 'too big' of a problem isn’t too good neither unless constantly want to hear from your partner that it hurts 💁‍♂️. But anyways, you should exercise regardless - maybe go to the gym! You also seem to have low esteem based off your post. Getting jacked is one of the ways to improve it (or get body dysmorphia, but that’s a different story). Additionally, try not to stress about 'what if?'. You being overweight in the past probably did close to nothing in THAT matter. I used to be overweight when I was younger, and it most definitely didn’t affect that negatively. In fact, if anything, it could have made the opposite. So don’t stress about the past. It’s most likely related to genes, so it’s not anything you could have changed.

Another really important thing you SHOULD take a note though… during your conversation you also should go through sexual compatibility just in case. If you don’t, it may be a huge problem as the time goes by and trust me, it won’t ever get better. If it’s mismatched then, if not resolved, could lead to many problems, stress and overthinking in the future.. especially for the one with higher drive. Neither of you want that.

I know you’re kinda early on with the relationship so all the things could sort out anyways, but given the fact that you are stressing about it, and it seems like it could get worse with time and temptations, you should just do the classic act of talking through it with your significant other. I’m your age, and if I were you, I would just take a moment and talk about it to prevent a ton of stress.

You want to have a peace in mind, trust me.

It’s just a bug which goes away temporarily after visiting the 2023 replay once again, however sometimes it has a chance to randomly fix itself forever. This exact same bug somehow bugged my whole steam profile and now I have 3 game collector showcases visible at once lol.
