I've heard, anecdotally, of people losing their airpods often. I haven't yet, but curious how common that problem is?

It must be a thing, since Apple lets you use your devices to find your missing AirPods, and they are even part of the FindMe network.

I've sometimes wondered how many AirPods have been flushed down toilets around the world. Even if only .001% of AirPods meet their demise this way, considering the number of AirPods sold, it must be a pretty good number.

I flushed the right ear of my Airpods pro. I bought a new pair the next day because I use them all day for video calls because they're so convenient.
What did everyone in the video call hear in the right audio channel?

The Find My network stuff isn’t coming until the fall. Right now they only update their location when connected to your phone, which is basically useless.
