you always have to manage a million different cables for each one, and they all suck. why can’t we just use AAA batteries instead of these shitty lithium ones? it’s so fucking frustrating. where can I find gadgets that work while plugged in, or at least don’t need to be recharged every two fucking days?
slightly different but there is a product im debating called tromataz toothbrush. its first iteration had a replaceable head but it has a bunch of its electronics in it. Its obvious it should have some sort of plastic brush snap on for the top but not only have they not improved it. It looks like they are going the other way and you have to change your toothbrush every 3 months or so. its nuts. whats wrong with their engineers!!!
There are so many electric toothbrushes on the market. A mid-tier Braun or Philips one will last you years. I had one for well over a decade before the battery was sufficiently used up to not really last a full session.
this one has this bioelectric current gimmick. It does not have motors.
So it runs on bullshit?
No. there is a legitamate study but it does not prove miracles or anything but did indicate it gets between teeth better than brushing alone (but not as good as flossing). I even discussed with my dentist who is skeptical but not willing to say its bullshit given the study. I might actually use it if it was done better. Way not environmental.
Still skeptical. This post is the only result for “tromataz,” which Google thought was an idiot trying to type “traumatize,” which is … not great.
sorry its TROMATZ. I used it but shelved it for now given the problems I have with their design. this is one of the studies https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/16/8255 . I would actually use it if they would just improve the design but as I said they are going backwards. I really can’t believe any company would be so wasteful in design in our time of global warming.
Sounds like the engineers listened to their bosses who told them to make it a subscription without making it a subscription.
Yep. As an engineer you have a sense of good design, but if you’re getting paid to make a stupid design, you make a stupid design so long it complies with code.
Having the ability to refuse public-harming requests like that is why engineers are supposed to be licensed.
That’s by design. They want you to throw your money away through them.
