Anyone else’s AirPod Pro2s suddenly not working the last couple days?

Hello, three family members all with AirPod Pro2s, bought at separate times from separate places (all legit) all pristine, well cared for etc, have started to have connectivity issues, disconnecting when walking away from phone by even a few feet which would normally have been fine, sound really tinny/echoey etc.
Also seem to have issues with functions such as auto play/pause skipping videos, videos skimming without buttons being touched pressed etc.

All have different phones/iPads new and old, up to date etc.
Have tried factory resetting them, some no different, some slightly better for a short time, one is wayyy worse now.

Planned obsolescence? New set hinted at being released in September which is a little be suspicious!

We are in the UK of that is relevant lol

Tips to get young abandoned kittens to trust me & flea treatments?

Hello, we have been feeding 2 stray kittens.

The bigger one was first see with the other cat end of May, but she was later discovered to have been hit by a car.

We have been feeding them since, as they are living adjacent to our property.

The smaller one popped up more recently, but there’s no sign of any other cats, and they do look quite similar from afar, so we assume they are siblings, and we perhaps were not aware there were two until able to see them together and closer.

The bigger one seems to be a bit more independent and wonders off, but there’s smaller one seems to stay here.

We originally tried to get a cat charity or the RSPCA to collect them, but they are all full and so not willing to help.
That’s why we fed them, as we don’t want them to stave after seeing them eat bird seed.

We can’t really keep them due to having a Terrier and someone very, very allergic to cat fleas, and being on a very fast main road, where it’s quite common to see dead animals that were hit and killed, so we have been working on getting them to trust me, so we hopefully capture them ourselves and then see if a local vet will do TNR if we do the T and R, or adopt them out, give them to a rescue.

We are getting there slowly, especially with the little one, which seems to be a lot more dependent on us, but haven’t managed to touch it yet.

Any tips on this would be appreciated!

We are also worried about fleas, again, one family member is very allergic and we have a dog that could transfer them, and the bigger one has managed to get into our fenced garden a couple times.

Doing some research it seems like a flea collar may not be very safe, but without being able to accurately age or weigh it, the spot on types are likely also going to be risky if not harmful.

They are scratching a lot, so we do think they have fleas, so they need to be treated one way or another, but I don’t want to accidentally hurt one 😢

Any tips, suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

Pics for cat tax/size reference.
Don’t have many good pics of the bigger one as it’s much less trusting.

All of our headphones/earbuds have suddenly stopped working properly?? Multiple devices.

Ok so first of all i thought it was AirPods specifically.

3 family members all have AirPod Pro2s and all have started having issues in the last 2 days.

Each thought it was just us, then when we discussed, realised we all had the same issues.

Sounding tinny, echoing, stop starting/cutting in/out, and if you walk even a short distance away, they are loosing connection. A distance that was fine even 3 days ago.

Whole all three same model, they are varying ages, and uses, so it’s unlikely we all wore them out at the same time.

All three of us have Apple devices, but various some new some old, same on an iPad.

Then I got out my over ear headphones and suddenly they are the same, though not as bad.
They are Srhythm** **brand, so nothing crazy but worked fine when I used them last week.

We have obviously reset them, checked all are updated, turned things on and off again, but no difference, in fact, one par got drastically worse.

There’s been some wildfires close-ish to us, but still a good few hours away, internet is slightly slower than normal but works, electricity etc is all fine.
Could it be that? Becase that’s the only new thing? Surely 4 pairs of headphones/earphones don’t all just stop working at the same time?
