Really happy to see replaceable batteries! It's a wear item and guaranteed to brick your device after a number of years if they aren't replaceable.

Replaceable batteries are coming to the EU in general, at least for portable devices, via the EU Batteries Regulation, which is in force already and requires all portable batteries to be easily removable and replaceable by the end user from 2027

EU has single handedly done more to improve ~~myself~~ my life than my own government with this one law.

Well I do like FDAs, and roads though. But I’d rather have healthcare as well, and I’d like way less of it to go toward it cops and wars. Mainly I want a lot more of the taxes coming from the billionaires.

more taxes from billionaires

Okay so look up the name of the guy who was point man for the business plot.

Look up his son's and grandson's names.

And then, after doing that; explain how that's ever gonna happen.
