I owned a pair of the first gen AirPods Max. After a couple of months of usage, I began noticing a rattling inside the right earcup. I had never dropped them or exposed them to any sort of physical damage that could knock something loose. The rattling would happen every time I tilted my head in any direction. I had taken them to Apple Genius support in store 3 different times and 2 of those times the onsite tech agreed that there was a rattling sound. All 3 times they were sent to an Apple repair facility and they always came back with "cannot reproduce". I sold them on FB Marketplace for a deep discount, having alerted the potential buyer to the issue before I sold them to him. Never again will I purchase a set of AirPods.
Funny that something similar swore me off another brand’s headphones. The noise cancelling would amplify mechanical vibrations of the headphones, so much so that even eating with them on would cause a deafening bass. Walking with them on was also incredibly loud.
I sent them to support with a very good description of the problem, came back the same, “cannot reproduce”.
It seems support workers for both companies just connect them to an audio source and check if sound comes out relatively alright.
Prior to the third time going to Genius Bar, I was able to reach a senior manager for Apple repairs in a phone call to Apple Support. And even after asking him to take down a note on my incident to have the repair tech physically open the right ear can, they still came back with "cannot reproduce". There was either a screw loose in my brain or the headphones. Guess we'll never know which.
I've previously used O&O ShutUp10++ when I was still using Windows. Seemed to work well without issue. Certain Windows updates would reset some of the settings. https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
Arguably before bribes were more hidden, and when brought to light they were more often procecuted or at last shamed folks out of office. See Abe Fortas
If you can withstand the first few days, a lo carb / zero carb diet will do wonders for your appetite. I don’t know what the long term impacts are of such a diet but I do know from personal experience that it’s drastically improved my ability to withstand cravings.
It's amazing how quiet I can make the inner food voice if I fast and try to eat keto. More amazing is how fast a single day or two of carb listing utterly ruins it. I'm in the middle of a two day fast right now to try and get reset
