I've seen people dislike devices taking AA batteries so often now, like,
you know you can get those at the store with a charger for like 20€, and when they break, you can just replace them? Way more practical than specialized battery packs
@noiob rechargables are expensive to get vs like a 20 pack of non rechargeable ones
@avie you can recharge them basically for free
@noiob the immediate cost of them offsets the recharging factor
for the money we get far less, and we can use the non rechargables immediately no matter what
wasteful yes, but hey thats life as a poor family for you lol
@socks sounds inconvenient
@noiob Probably, but honestly I didn't learn about the existence of rechargeable batteries until later and even then it would have been a bit of a hard sell for my parents
@socks I guess it helped that my dad already owned a fast charger and a bunch of batteries of varying quality when I grew up
I recall always annoying him about charging my camera's batteries
@noiob yes
