Replaceable batteries are coming back in the EU though due to the battery regulation (EU) 2023/1542 which requires portable batteries to be removable and replaceable

Yes slow charging is one factor to prolong battery life. You can even go down to 5w or less. But another important factor is not having your phone charged at 100% for long durations, because at high voltage the battery degrades faster. So don't leave your phone plugged in when it's fully charged, try to keep it between 30 and 80% all the time for maximum lifetime
Yea the article does seem to make it a bigger thing than it actually is. But, the fact that the management or at least the CEO (that also has a major saying in everyday business and is highly respected/feared) openly shows a disrespect for safety measures and laughs them off as annoying, definitely paints a picture. Sure, accidents happen and maybe the numbers aren't excessively high, but if management doesn't take them seriously and learn from them and take measures to reduce the risk, then this becomes really concerning
This shows that he not only is willing to risk his employees safety for the sake of a "greater good" or at least a profitable business. But the fact that he not only ignores safety practices but actively removes those that are already in place just because they don't please him aesthetically and he doesn't want to see them is a whole other level of egoism and carelessness. He really doesn't give a damn about other people
Michael Mittermeier?
Why is it even so damn important for him to get rid of bots that he has to take these extreme measures and make the X experience for everyone so bad? Or maybe it's just always the same excuse to justify his stupid decisions
But then again, what is math if you don't apply it?
Harmless fun
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
