I mean I see what are you doing with your comments.... But still what on earth could you possible have against removable batteries?

A removable battery bullied him as a kid

I'm waiting to see how this shakes out. I think all products should be self-serviceable and parts, tools, and documentation should be readily available.

What bothers me about the EU legislation is that it's worded in a way that implies someone like my mom (who can barely USE an iPhone, let alone service one) should be able to replace her own batteries. That will very likely result in product designs that are bulkier, heavier, more fragile, and less resistant to the environment (water, dust, etc)... e.g. snap-in batteries. That is not a future I want.

I have no problem opening a phone, tablet, or laptop and replacing the battery now... you just need the right tools and a little technical competency. The only thing I want is for companies to be prohibited from throwing up artificial barriers to self-service, like invalidating my warranty, disabling OS features or activating nags, or withholding parts, specs, or information.

"Because everyone is happy with that, so I'll say nay and that will make me automatically edgy and cool and girls will fling their pussy at me and maybe daddy will come back home"

That makes sense! And you're also funny and smart, so I'm sure you'll figure out how to replace your phone battery when all your girlfriends will be doing the same.

Replacing a battery takes 15-30 minutes, you need to do it every three years and there are multiple shops that will do it for $10. Fuck having a fat phone that's less water proof. You all are simps.

Fatter phones. It takes 15 minutes to replace the current batteries.
