That deadline is just ten days from the time of this announcement. These pins, which began shipping less than a year ago, cannot be refurbished or reused in any way, so they will all become fridge magnets – in just ten days. I get the instinct to blame people for buying this product, but I also understand well-heeled people trying something new. The amount of products that will now end up in landfills is a blight on those responsible for these decisions. They can kick rocks.
