I bought JBL earbuds and didn't register my product on their website as most companies don't require it so I basically ignored that. After 7-8 months of usage one bud was discharging quicker than the other one so I tried to claim warranty but they refused, they said that my product isn't registered in their system. They told me to register the product first then apply for a warranty claim.
Yeah, if a company forces me to do so (Razer, JBL). Most companies don't require registration for warranty, at least in my country. All you need is the original invoice. When you want to claim a warranty, you need to fill out a form on that company's website which asks for your details like name, phone number, email, and physical address, alongside the original invoice. That's it, no prior registration required.
Can you imagine if every company forces users to use Passkey instead of other log in methods, how many printed copies or keys you'll need, plus the spare copies and back-up keys?
I don't understand why apps and services are so obsessed with 'Passkey' or password-less login. I know there's some risk using email & password login method, but the passkey thing is half-baked and it locks users from getting their account back if somehow they forget it, especially Google's passkey approach is totally awful.
I don't know about you guys but I found that commenting or posting on Lemmy is a bit of a harder job from Mastodon. That's why I created a Lemmy account. Maybe I missed something but that's what I found.
It's time to switch.
