Big fan of this. I feel the next step is going to be to require OS support for a set amount of time. Affordable changing the battery won’t help when the device can’t run any software.
The Andromedus Galacticus Collection
This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.
Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:
- Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
- Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
- Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
- Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.
Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.
So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.
Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?
Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]
My first thought was right to repair, but reading about the recycling and such, this is fantastic.
Of course, without those additional laws in the US, it won't happen here, but at least we'll get the replaceable batteries. It's a start.
Finally something consumer friendly
Okay, so Apple still has some time to think about the design of a phone with a replaceable battery because they haven't released one yet.
The main reason batteries couldn't be replaced in newer phones is because that made designers of the internals not care about the battery's shape, which meant they could insert more good tech inside. The battery normally had to be rectangular for easy insertion/removal. Even though this was the real main intent, manufacturers started capitalizing on this.
