  • Anyone good with photoshop? There's potentially a free, slightly dodgy-charging Wahoo in it for ya.

    Field Retirement makes it sound like I'm disabling a tank. Honestly, shameful request. Will be doing what I can to avoid actually damaging the device as while it's not perfect, it is still relatively functional.

  • Am I being stupid to miss the point in requesting this? Like, genuinely – wtf?! Why go to so much expense and effort from a CS perspective? It's a PR nightmare waiting to happen (please tweet it).

  • Last time this happened, they sent a courier to pick up the old one, have little doubt they just shredded that one too. Guess this way round there's less waste.

  • I'm a bit surprised by the outrage tbh. As a business you'd want a faulty product of circulation first of all: they are a poor advertisement for your brand, but also you wouldn't want to risk the same unit to be claimed on several times for a replacement. So if the item cannot be repaired, and it would be expensive, time-consuming and ultimately pointless to get it back, that doesn't leave many options.
    There's a lot that is wrong with modern electronics, but I can't see why this is particularly outrageous for that type of product.
