Man would expect, that #headphones costing 340€ sold by a well established brand like #Sony would consider some basic security. And when a vulnerability is discovered, that they would quickly announce and deploy a fix.
But no. I still don't know whether my WH-1000XM headphone have this security hole fixed or if it ever will be fixed. Sony is just silent about it. 👎️

Repair Manifesto
We hold these truths to be self-evident.
If you can't fix it, you don't own it.
Repair is better than recycling:
Making our things last longer is both more efficient and more cost-effective than mining them for raw materials.
Repair saves you money:
Fixing things is often free, and usually cheaper than replacing them. Doing the repair yourself saves you money.
Repair teaches engineering:
The best way to find out how something works is to take it apart.
Repair saves the planet:
Earth has limited resources. Eventually we will run out. The best way to be efficient is to reuse what we already have.
Repair connects people and things.
Repair is war on entropy.
Repair is sustainable.
We have the right:
To devices that can be opened.
To repair documentation for everything.
To repair things in the privacy of our own homes.
To error codes & wiring diagrams.
To choose our own repair technician.
To remove "do not remove" stickers.
To non-proprietary fasteners.
To replace any & all consumables ourselves.
To troubleshooting instructions & flowcharts.
To available, reasonably-priced service parts.
Because repair:
Is independence.
Saves money & resources.
Requires creativity.
Makes consumers into contributors.
Inspires pride in ownership.
