:rofl: slapped by the teacher. And that's another issue all together. Component failure, with proper R&D should be largely eliminated and yet what do we see time and time again. Sure there are user issues like collar wear and overdosing but just about everything else has no excuse. You cant abuse orings, you can't flog electronics to death. Obviously the componentry is just not FFP to ensure longevity. Yes the environment is hostile but it is also very, very mild compared to under the bonnet of a car, where electronics, orings and components just get on with it, mostly perfectly for 10 - 15 years. Ok, the investment in R&D is in the billions for cars but every single component is made to a standard by a manufacturer other than the one selling the final product. Everything is outsourced yet it all comes together to just... work. Is it too much ask for things to work as they should or should consumers be expected to pay for dodgy product that in reality is still in R&D spec?
