TychoQuad, to asklemmy in If LED bulbs are supposed to last for 10 years, why do I still need to replace them every 9 months?

16 years ago, when I moved into a new apartment, I bought a 4 pack of colour changing led light globes. I liked them so much, I ended up replacing all of the remaining globes in the apartment with white only versions when they became available.

About 7 years in, 2 of them started having problems, so I replaced them. The other 2, along with the others I bought along the way are still going strong. I took them with me when I moved out of that apartment and put back the globes that the apartment had when I first moved in.

My current place has all the globes I bought, along with some my roommate had from the same timeframe. He never had any problem globes.

Now, these globes weren’t cheap, but I think that’s the point. Light globes don’t burn out like they used to, but if you buy the cheapest piece of crap you can find, you’re gonna get… well, the cheapest piece of crap.

As for your power usage, I suggest you look elsewhere. Even the crappiest led light will use less power than practically everything else.

TychoQuad, to gaming in Capcom President Says ‘Game Prices Are Too Low’

I see what he’s saying, but the market says no.

Honestly, more product categories should do the same, imagine if Apple released a new phone for an extra $100, but everyone just said no.

They would focus on keeping the costs down and whinge about it like game manufacturers do right now, and it would be glorious

All my coins were apologies for ruining Alien Blue. This time when they ruined Apollo, they gave me nothing.

I deleted my account after deleting every post and reply. They can keep their fake money I didn’t even care to spend.
