Manufacturers stole repairability and the headphone jack from us under the guise of waterproofing and now you make fun of people who use the feature?!?
If I had to give that shit up then I want the damn feature. Otherwise waterproof speakers exist and we never had to give up anything.

Because said waterproofing was for accidental, rare incidents of exposure, such that you have enough time to yank it somewhere safe before water penetrated.
Waterproofing was never meant for intentional, repeated, or extended exposure to extreme environments. That’s what waterproof cases are for. You know, the kind that allow your phone to go intentionally into water.
Who… da fuq… does this??
Nah hold on.

Yea that’s my whole argument. We lost very important things for some bullshit.
Should be an option, not mandatory.
Offering options costs a lot more.
