I bought samsung earbuds. They worked flawlessly.

From time to time, a software update comes. Every single time I look into change log only to read "Improved stability and security".

Few updates ago, when I took out my buds, only one was playing. Till today I need to disconnect and connect my buds to make them both work.

If only they would just leave the things as they were, or gave me option to rollback.. So much for "Improved stability and security" I guess. I'll never buy a Samsung headphones again.



TBF, I had similar issues with only one ear connecting with my AirPods (gen1). The only difference is the software updates are silent and happen in the background with zero update notes.


Oh, just be happy they do not have (yet) updated to integrate advertisement into them.


If these are Bluetooth LE devices they surely integrated advertisement, it just means something different in this context and could actually explain the technical problem which the parent had.


Doing satire is hard, when reality is way ahead with all the bad things that can happen.
