I miss it too. I used to live just north of here in Flagstaff (which is a dark sky city thankfully), and the Milky Way is still visible to the naked eye at night!

It works even on a fully broken hinge like yours. Sucks to pay an additional $40 for “premium” headphones to ensure they last beyond the warranty, but here we are…
