Why do lefties hate competition such that they pass laws like this?You dont see america being so stupid
>>533467558Right to repair should exist across all fields, from tech to automotive to appliances. Eat shit, bootlicker.
>>533467558Except that we have the most heavily regulated, anti-competitive car and food markets in the world.
It's like the McD's ice cream machines, only one company has the right to repair them, that's free markets
>>533467558Making your phone shit the bed with no ability to repair is not competition.
>>533467611you always have right to repare. The think EU does is just forbidding their citizens to buy stuff they don’t approve. Why can’t you have the right to buy whatever the fuck you want?
>>533467808Why?>>533467784Wowee and only mcds has ice cream at all?>>533467840Cause rightwingers apssed the nfa
>>533467558Lol.
>>533467840I want to buy nuclear ordinance
>>533467558lol you dont own a car
>>533467558The few times the EU is based. Battery jews are seething.
>>533467558Good law. For every shit law the EU votes for, a good one gets made like GDPR.
The FSB should just fuck Ursula already. They're obsessed with her.
>>533467940Yep, like any low class american, I own 6 and all are 20+ years old>>533467994>>533467957>communism is good
>>533467558The first good decision in the history of the EU
>>533467928And if you had hundreds of millions to spend on it, you should be able to. They shouldn't be able stop someone from doing that, but they should still be able to take someone out for doing it
This is actually terrifying Is anyone considering corporate profits, how can they continue to prosper
>>533468027>curbing kike practices is communism
i hate the EU but this shit is based
Barbaric American companies better learn to respect the consumers and their employees if they want to do business in Europe.You VILL respect ZE consumers and labor regulations or you will shove ZE Iphone up your ass.You VILL give your employees a month of paid vacation.And you VILL pay taxes.
>>533467873No, but just as the free market is full of would be despots, the consumer needs some protections. The state exists to serve the nation, otherwise it has no use
>we can't build it>we have no idea where to even start>but we can regulate it!EU morons in a nutshell. Same thing happened with LLMs. Rather than wondering why the US and China have led the way with their models, without having domestic competitor, they then brag about being the first ones to regulate the technology. Without even knowing how the underlying technology works and how they are a "regulatory superpower". And they do this with a straight face. Enough already.
>>533467558this ruins mossads plans
>>533468243Shalom!
>>533468243If they could build phones with easily removable batteries 15 years ago, they can do it now.Stop bootlicking corporations and defending their anti-consumer practices, fag.
>>533467904Underrated
>>533468335>as if they can't implant something "funny" into the replacement batteries
>I need the government to force me to have a worse phone.Europe can't stop winning! This is bigger than when mommy government put the Eruo-lids on your drink bottles.
>>533467558Based as fuck!
>>533468552>being able to change your phone battery makes it worseYou kike slaves are something else.
>>533468041they made usb-c plugs mandatory for smartphones a couple of years ago, which was also pretty nice.
>>533468349>dont glue the battery in (literally free)>let me open the case (basically free compared to the price of the phone)Its that simple. Oh nooo the horror instead of the back panel being glued to the motherboard, not it has a latch or a button
>>533468212Why does the consumer need the labor of someone else?Sounds like a human right again>>533468606>waa I need the government to tell me what I can have>>533468614>noo you have to use the cable we order, free choice is a lie
>>533468614Yes thankfully that caused micro USB to finally vanish from the US too
>>533467840Why can't companies just make products without dark patterns?
>>533468243Nokia was building phones with removable batteries in Finland in the 1980's, anon.
>>533468349>If they could build phones with easily removable batteries 15 years ago, they can do it now.They can do it now, but an easily replaceable battery requires a case that isn't water-tight and requires a good bit more area than a hard-wired internal battery. The free market has determined that the market likes water resistant phones with another 4 hours of battery life. Good thing your nanny state knows better what you really want.
>>533468665It is a human right to have responsible markets, the nation can't afford to be cheated by foreign corporations with unclean practices
>>533467558This is communism! Trump! Trump! Trump! Long live ISRAEL! Yeehaw!
>>533468665The government's job is to make sure corporations don't fuck over the consumers and the EU is doing that for once. Amerigoys don't understand that.
>>533468760Are you crying over glue? Are you crying over glue in a thousand-dollar phone?
>>533468243>why the US and China have led the way AI in the US is just another massive corporate welfare program
>>533467558why are americans so cucked this is based
>>533468665>>noo you have to use the cable we order, free choice is a lieits not about the cable its about the port
>>533468852We aren't allowed to use Huawei phones. Pay no respect to the hypocrites.
>>533468243lmao how old are you fucking dipshit retard
>>533467558>REEEEEEE THE GOVERNMENT IS STANDING UP TO BIG CORPORATIONS AND HELPING THE LITTLE GUY>REEEEEEE IT'S THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB TO HELP CORPORATIONS RAPE THE POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS
>>533468852>at least the baby is white
>>533468879No one is actually against this but Jews
>>533468760I don't care about it being waterproof. No one does. >The free market has determined that the market likes water resistant phones with another 4 hours of battery life.No, it hasn't. We were never given that choice.
>>533467558i was looking forward to this but i read somewhere that later phones were excluded. anybody know the details?
>>533468606>being able to change your phone battery makes it worseYes because you need a bunch of extra plastic in there to make this plug and play for the average user and you need a back that pops off easily that will also easily let in dust and water.God damn you fuckers are dumb as a day old nigger.
>>533468916The P90 works with T-Mobile
>>533468739Because a mobile phone is not supposed to last longer than the battery lifespan?
>>533468916Everything you use is made in China but you can't use Huawei? The fuck?
>>533467558>Why do lefties hate competition such that they pass laws like this?>You dont see america being so stupidYou really that retard? Mutt education...I hate euRope with my each fiber but this is actually great for a user, i replaced 4 times a battery for my Motorolla Nexus 6 and Droid Turbo. They still good phones.
>>533468973>wahhh i can't go swimming with my phoneno one cares drown yourself
>>533467558Turns out competition is fake. Apple does something and every other company follows blindly. What the EU is doing here is forcing companies to stop enshittifying their products. They are making companies make what the people would prefer to buy, but have no fucking option to because the companies don't want to make them because they want planned obsolescence which is more profitable for them.
>>533467558As a shareholder this makes me sick. This will hurt my profit margins.
>>533467558yay finally nokia style changeable batteries are backbut the thing is EU does these good things only to hide all the bad like importing infinity browns and forcing us to have "anti-discrimination" and "holocaust denial" laws that nobody asked forlike how it is in europeans interest to have "holocaust denial" laws. why do EU put finland and others to court because we didnt have such laws? why hungary gets fined 1 million a day for not accepting shitskins?
>>533468973My 15-year-old Nokia still works just fine despite muh dust and water, you fucking kike. I even left lost the back panel and it's fine.
>>533469008I believe Zion Don wanted an import ban at one point but he TACO'd on it
>>533467558These are one of the few good things that come out of the EUI'm sure that they will shit on your gamer companies as well
>>533469056There's that other idea in consideration too regarding video game obsolescense, that's not so bad either
>>533468930they dont like because when you can swap the battery you can then also add cheap additional storage space as seen in your picture.
Can't believe people are against this. Has to be ironic trolls, right?
>>533469003Why not?
>>533467611This. Corporations should not conspire together in order to squeeze all our wealth from us.
genuinely staggering how much more based the EU is compared to north america what causes this?
I think this law shuld apply not to only smartphones but smartwatch airpods etc.
>>533469175Dangerous question anon.
>>533467558Alright who wants to bet on what Monkey's Paw deal Apple uses to comply with this law? >the battery is easily replaceable you just have to replace the rest of the phone with it>the battery is easily replaceable you just need special tool that is always out of stock>the battery is easily replaceable but doing so breaks the water seal voiding the warranty and rendering the phone extremely sensitive to moisture>the battery is easily replaceable but all replacement batteries are half the size
>>533469211>what causes this?Zyklon B
>>533469103Just look up where the German Von der Leyen was born and raisedIts a big club, but european, but you are still not in it
>>533469168No, (some) americans are honestly this enslaved by jews.
>>533467611>Right to repair should existHaving the right to repair something doesn't mean products should be designed to cater for your ease in doing so. You're not talking about a right to repair; but rather a right to easy repair. If you were savvy enough and had the right tools you could have always repaired even difficult apple products. You're just too much of a tard to do it so you want to impose laws making it easy for tards like you to do what savvy people always could.That being said, Apple products are proprietary digital prisons anyway, and no one should be using them under any circumstances.
>>533468200
>>533469248They'll make some moisture sensitive connection that went moist severs power immediately and involves a whole motherboard replacement just to really jew you.
>>533469008Yup. I’ll go so far as to say this - I have a Huawei phone go when I’m in Europe (dual citizen of Montenegro and USA) and it just loses any kind of carrier connection when I get back to the US. The stupider thing is I have both T-Mobile on my US phone (iPhone) and the Huawei phone, and the T-Mobile network just isn’t picked up in America by the Huawei phone. It’s not even like I could pay to use it, it simply isn’t even seen.
>>533469330Thanks for the insight Reddit
>>533467558>freedom to permanently weld a timebomb into your electronic deviceIf you don't like it blowing up just buy new shit okay?? And you aren't allowed to just throw it in the garage because you might start a garbage fire when it blows up, okay??!
>>533467611Goyim should not have a RTR, how else are they going to grow my portfolio?
>>533469248I think they'll just stick with>the battery is easily replaceable, but it still needs to be an iBattery which costs 119$(the same price as now, but you have to change it yourself instead of letting the wagie do it for you)
>>533467611>waah waaah i need my itoddlerthere are phones that you can repair easily, buy those dumbfuck
>>533467558Bad law, free market is for providing products satisfying such demands. This is a pointless overreach that exists just to create more jobs for worthless bureaucrats who will be paid from our taxes to inspect if changing batteries is simple enough for retards.
>>533467558>americans seething at repairable productsfuck off inferior MURIMUTT
>>533467558You are welcome mutts. We've been protecting your consumer rights indirectly for years.
>>533469539Forgot your xD
>>533467840>you have a right to repairYeah, now we do that the law has passedFuck off shilling for glue in batteries Apple faggot, and go suck some Chinese dick
>>533469539>free marketNo such thing. All companies decided to make phones with unreplaceable batteries because of planned obsolescence.
>>533469103The real quote is "Europe is the values of the Talmud" by the way, from a speech at an Israel university, with random empty flattering shit you'd put in wherever you're going: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/speech_22_3685. Wonder if the FSB and hagers-on changed it to make it harder to Google or is they're too fucking stupid to quote accurately.
>>533467558EU has its problems but man their pro-consumer laws are god tier. Thanks, because everyone will benefit from that.
>>533469591I'm not that shitskin
>>533467685>most heavily regulated food marketLmao I have to import my food from Europe because 90% of the food sold here is poison.
>>533469502Fuck can't believe I forgot the most obvious one:>the battery is easily replaceablebut the phone will only handshake with Apple OEM replacement batteries that cost as much as a new phone or more
>>533467558Amerimutts really are the ultimate goy cattle slave race
>>533468760even my samsung note 4 had a replaceable battery and was fun for its time.
>>533469630Here are the standout options based on recent reviews and availability as of 2026:Fairphone 6 (Best overall for repairability)This modular phone emphasizes sustainability and ease of repair. The battery is user-replaceable with minimal effort (often just a few screws or a simple back cover removal, and official spare parts are available). You can also swap other components like the screen, camera, or USB port. It runs Android 15, has solid mid-range specs, and is designed for longevity. Battery capacity is around 4,415 mAh. It's the top pick for most users wanting a straightforward, tool-light process and long-term support.b48286HMD Skyline 5G (Good mainstream option, especially for the US)Features a removable battery and strong emphasis on repairability. It's priced under $500 in some markets, making it accessible. The design allows quick battery swaps, and HMD promotes its fixable nature. Suitable for everyday use with decent specs.5f47e7RugOne Xever 7 Pro (Best for hot-swapping and on-the-go use)A rugged phone with a removable ~5,550 mAh battery that supports hot-swapping (change batteries without powering off). It includes a slide lock for security. Ideal for users in demanding environments who need quick power refreshes.de8119Samsung Galaxy XCover7 Pro (Best rugged choice)Built for tough conditions (MIL-STD-810H compliant), with an easily swappable battery via a removable back cover—no screws needed in some descriptions. It's reliable for enterprise or outdoor use, with good durability and Android support.2b5e59Kyocera DuraForce series (e.g., DuraForce Pro 3)Highly rugged phones with removable batteries, often featuring reinforced designs for drops, dust, and water. Battery access is straightforward for field workers or harsh environments.0c3fd8TCL ION X or TCL NxtPaper 70 ProBudget-friendly options with removable batteries. These are simpler devices focused on basic functionality and easy maintenance, with larger capacities in some vari
>>533469175you are telling me you really plan to use the same phone in 5 years from now, just to replace the battery? Are you retarded? This is not a flashlight, the rest of things get outdated faster then the battery, otherwise it would be replaceable indeed, without any eu regulations. I would say there no need for fucking EU lawers in this business.
>>533469301yea she is from the shabbos nest of brussels? what does that have to really do with anything its obviously a prerequisite that you're a jew-sucking shabbos to be in the EU parliamenti am not in on it? obviously not, i am neither a jew nor a shabbos

>>533469646Is that John Romero?
>>533469854Sure it can be, why not?
>>533469168Story time!> BMW, Ford and other manufacturers that use ZF transmissions in their cars call transmission fluid in new vehicles “lifetime fluid” and if you change it, they wanted to make it so the warranty is void> Every mechanic in the world knows this fluid is good for between 80-100 thousand kms and if you want the car to last you need to change it every now and again> consumer groups sue to get policies changed and for auto mfrs to admit lifetime fluid dis not exist> automakers countersue basically saying that no matter if you actually need to change it, they believe the lifetime of the car to be the first failure point of any critical component, including the transmission, rendering the suggestion of replacement of any fluid against their corporate interests> automakers win and consumer groups need to pay back fees, penalties and court costs for attempting to act in the consumers interestI have a hard time explaining to my Balkan family how things actually work here. Just remember that in the Balkans anyone can bribe but in the US only the rich can bribe. If the average guy tries slipping someone in the government money they’re headed to prison for a long time.
>>533467558Very nice. Tired of being forced into a new phone every 3 to 4 years.
>>533469330This anon sits in the corner while the local CEO goatses his gf. Besides, apple literally makes their shit in fucking china lmao.
>>533469644>As long as I can think, I was convinced of two very simple facts. First, there is no Europe without European Jews. And second, Europe and Israel are bound to be friends and allies. Because the history of Europe is the history of the Jewish people. Europe is Simone Veil and Hannah Arendt. Europe is Mahler and Kafka, and Freud. Europe is the values of the Talmud, the Jewish sense of personal responsibility, of justice and of solidarity.>Today, almost 80 years after the Shoah, Jewish life in Europe is thriving again. Countries like Portugal and Austria are rediscovering their Jewish heritage. I see it in Brussels, too. As the little film showed: Just a few months ago, I had the honour to light the Chanukah Menorah in the heart of the European quarter. What an experience. And yet, European Jewish life is also embattled and endangered. Anti-Semitism has not disappeared. It still poisons our societies. And anti-Semitic attacks happen today in Europe. It is a new threat, but it is the same old evil. Every new generation must take responsibility so that the past does not return. This is why I have put the fight against anti-Semitism and fostering Jewish life in Europe at the core of the European Commission's agenda. Our democracy flourishes if Jewish life in Europe flourishes, too. Throughout the centuries, the Jewish people have been ‘a light unto the nations'. And they shall be a light unto Europe for many centuries ahead.https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/hu/speech_22_3685Just look at that kike shabbos vampire smirking at the EU commission when legitimate concerns are being raised about the open borders immigration policy>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86UeVXyvevsAre you a jewish bioweapon yourself or why the fuck did you think that a typo of has->is was in anyway meaningful in this picture?
>>533469779
>>533469788if something works id use the same phone for 5-10 years and theres nothing stopping others from changing their phone every all the same. those that buy yearly prop up the secondhand market. the secondhand market benefits from a new battery too. all around a good idea
>>533467558EVEN includes apple....Imagine...even apple...THE APPLE! even...wow imagine the EU is not having exceptional legal system just for special APPLE
>>533467558This is the only law which benefits 99% of the people in a pool of anti-privacy, anti-competition, anti-European, anti-farming, anti-White and pro-taxing diarrhea laws made by these motherfuckers.
>>533467558Why can't competition exist with the concept of a replaceable battery? There's nothing stopping a company from making a battery that doesn't use a super delicate ribbon cable, isn't glued to the enclosure, and doesn't require a fucking hotplate to remove the backplate.No consumer ever complained in the HTC heyday that their phone was "too thick" because the battery could be replaced easily.
>>533469854>all major brands do the same thing>competition
>>533467558Please EU imposes the universal tool battery now.
>>533468852>ake sure corporations don't fuck over the consumers and the EU is doing that for once. Amerigoys don't understand that.She owns the franchise town rapist
>>533469646pro-consumer shit and food laws are the two actually goods thing about the EU. I would gladly trade them in order to deport all non whites though
>>533469942Yep. And there's always some halfwit that says "IT WILL DESTROY UR TRANSMISSION"Because they ran theirs for years/miles on the same fluid, fucked it, then tried an ATF exchange as a last ditch effort to fix it, the ruined transmission expired and he blames the new fluid.Yes, normoids really do cogitate in this fashion.
Hole based is this real? Samsung had the perfect phone with the S5. All the ports, removable battery, etc, and yet still water proof.Now companies lie and say the seal the battery in because they need to for water proofing, when it's just to save a few cents and make you just buy a new phone when it goes to shit.Anybody saying blah blah communism is a disingenuous falseflag faggot, ignore them
>>533469330most raped by pedo jews award
>>533470163So far EU silly laws benefit everyone in the world.
>>533467558Because planned obsolescence is the biggest crime against humanity as whole. You are basically designing a device that breaks on purpose to sell the person the next device.Battery is the thing that deteriorates fastest. Having this bullshit where your entire phone bricks when battery dies is just ridiculous. And you are aware that in pure capitalism it's beneficial to make battery extremely tedious to impossible to replace so the people will have to buy a whole new phone.The only way to prevent it is with daddy government. You American capitalist pigs need to be taught a lesson.
>>533469788I've been using the same phone since 2020 and I have no immediate plans to change it since this model is no longer made and newer models are worse.
>>533468243>LLMOh no, how will we ever survive without a crappy chatbot scrapping wikipedia for answer.
>>533470029kek
>>533469788This is another good point. Phones are getting outdated faster than their batteries>>533470104Pure denial is not an argument
>>533469330Ok. But in EU the basis for legal system is the sense of justice and not who makes better word plays. So you do your legal system your way if you like words over actual point of legal system existim. Its not a kindergarten game who can lawyer better. Its a framework to make peoples lives better. Minor distinction I know
>>533469650Good>>533469376Did you try switching the bands on the US
>>533469248It's gonna be some iBattery with some loicense firmware that needs to be purchased from le special shop specifically for your phone and only yours
>>533470452Capitalism wins again.

>>533468027EU is generally Esoviet Union 2.0 with its restrictions, bans and quotas to reach essentially destroying europe.but this is a good thing, nothing should prevent communication.
>>533470380>But in EU the basis for legal system is the sense of justice>spoken by GermanThe basis for EU legal system regarding its energy security was Schroeder wanting a job at a Russian company and Merkel being treasonous East Germany commie. Shut up until you restart your nuclear plants, Kraus. Oh wait you made your retardation of shutting them down permanent, so shut up permanently.
As a national socialist I don't give a fuck about the free market. Soil is a part of blood & soil and the less of it wasted the better.
>>533467558That used to be normal and it should have never been phased out. It's fucking annoying when a phone is working perfectly except the battery which magically turns to shit one day and you can't replace it without taking the phone apart and breaking shit that needs to be replaced along with the battery.If you're against it, you're either a jew or a retarded nigger

>>533468131...it literally kindof is...
>>533467558This is the one instance of the EU being somewhat based, and Americans are against it because europe. >battery dead? Time to buy a new phone goy>noo, you cant just replace the 200 dollar battery, you have to buy an entire new phone

I just replaced my 7 year old chink phones battery, it isn't all that difficult. Android and Apple updates is more important, luckily my chink phone is popular so even though it's official support ended with 11 people still are giving it Android 16 updates
>>533467611How about they fix their immigration laws first?
>>533467558What's the point. Your phone will be useless shit by the time the battery shits the bed.

>>533467840unfettered capitalism will mean the minimum viable product is all that will be available to the average consumer without such regulations. plus, right to repair should be enforced
>>533470452probably. like with RED
>>533469330Most retarded take itt.
they only want this so they can switch the batteries with spy devices
>>533471258>browse Internet>make calls>take pictureswhat more do you need your phone to do?
>>533468041Before the Slavs the EU wasn't that bad.Before 2002 (Maastricht Treaty, or was it Nice?) there was no real politics allowed even.
>>533467558It fucks up waterproofing, but I support it anyway. If you can't fully deposed your devi e, then its just an expensive spy tracker.
God I miss my old S5 that had a replaceable battery even though it’s charge lasted 2 hours
>>533469435I throw all my li-ion batteries in the trash, and refuse to recycle them, specifically for this reason.
>>533471258charge immediately by switching battery.
>>533468760I don’t need my phone to be submersible out of the box. I can get a case for that if I wanted to. I feel like phones with removable batteries are super tough. I had one in high school that I could drop from the 2nd floor to the first. The case would split open and the battery would fall out, dissipating some of the energy. It would always turn back on, despite intentionally launching it into concrete. A moden glass iphone doesn’t survive a drop from waist height
>>533468938meanwhile somalis running fake daycares are making millions doing nothing stealing the tax dollars of that White mother working in mcdonalds with her baby because she doesn't get free daycare like the browns doits insane how jews have turned the country into a machine where Whites slave away to upkeep kikes, niggers and shitskinsEurope is the same too but America is on a different level that at least White mothers here get social services too but in America the Whites get nothing while browns get more money and services than they do in EuropeFree healthcare, daycare, education, housing, food, etc. Americans always say it only happens in Europe while they have all that in America IF YOU ARE BROWNIn fact the browns turn all the gibs into a business like here imported pajeets using their snap cards to buy bulk groceries on taxpayer's dime to sell in a pajeet gas stationthis nick shirley's video is great where armenian shitskins defraud medicare to the point they drive mercedes maybachs and bmw competition m8s on taxpayer's dime>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kegwwB4RHgAwhile once again, the White mother paying for that is working in mcdonalds with her babyhow fucking cucked they are, why isn't anyone killing the jews already??! it makes me crazy
>>533467558why do rightoids bootlick for trillion dollar techbro companies like apple? its very weird especially when most of them probably can't afford iphones anymore lol
>>533467558RIGHT TO REPAIR IS A HUMAN RIGHT
>>533470255I still have pic related and there is nothing wrong with that. But my online banking app and many other things requires the new OS that you can not install on the old devices. And i also enjoy to pay just fucking 200 bucks for a new screen and camera that was made by the brightest minds of the planet. Unfortunately now that is where you work instead of building spaceships. I don’t want to pay the same to Ursula to replace the battery on the old stuff. That is not her fucking business. She has the new iphone every year.
>>533470029OBJECTIONgoatseing is something you do to yourself, not another person
>>533469870better, it's ross scott>>533470177I mean like I said we all benefit from this
>>533467840europe forced the usb-c standard and it's a good thing.
>>533467558>>533467558because the environment and the climate have no economic value. It is profitable for any company to exploit the environment and generate capital from it.Companies also have an interest in designing products so that they last only a certain amount of time and cannot be repaired. The environment can therefore only be protected through appropriate laws that prohibit certain environmentally harmful practices. But it also shows just how slow the EU really is. Because when this law was first proposed, a battery’s lifespan was still a key factor in deciding to buy a new smartphone. Today, it is more the limited functionality and storage that force users to buy new devices.
Why not just demand they make proper productsNo, using taxes to demand that old products be discontinued and replaced by ones that require brand new 4000$ batteries is the real capitalist moveYou know why they quit using AA? Shit would last forever on two with new tech.
this is what apple sends you now when you want to self repair a phonewhatever they're designing it will be such a pain in the ass that nobody does itit will also void any warrantywe're stuck with usb c for 20 years because the faggots at the eu think they know better than the market
>>533467558theyre doing something similar with powertools. theyll all be forced to use a single interchangeable battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKOvXigyrXA

>>533471828This is good i agree. They can also press playstation to use standard screw shapes. To open up a console you need to buy special screwdrivers in the shape of some fucking hieroglyph that costs a fortune.
>>533472001based. they know things will become much more expensive so it will be cheaper to repair. buying a new one being cheaper than repairing has always been nonsense.
>>533469162>cheap additional storage spaceI don't think so Tim
>>533467558
>>533467611>Muh Right to RepairiPhone batteries last like 2-3 years, and you can still replace the batteries yourself if you’re not retarded.Having a stupid, gay compartment so that you can remove your battery in 10 seconds is fucking stupid. That’s like putting a “transmission drop” handle on your car to instantly dump your transmission. It be useful if a transmission was something you replaced every week, but it’s not.Fuck man, why can’t the governments be ran by engineers. Everyone is such a retard.
>>533468200Oy vey, stop being such a commie!
>>533467558but that's not competition, retard picrel.
>>533467611fippybippywippy
>>533471828usb-c is shit tbf
>>533472001It's because some companies release whole new battery designs with every generation of tools. It forces consumers to replace all powertools every 5-10 years, now those capitalists are fucked over.
Zoomer cattle are so fucking pathetic. I remember when everyfuckingone shat on manufacturers from removing this possibility. For fucks sake, in 2 years I'll fucking read on this godforsaken board that the removal of SD card slots is good, same as the 3.5 jack.Fucking grim.And it's the same retards that will fucking call you a NPC.
>>533469344My boss had this conversation with me and I started setting up a daily time bomb of 20+ e-mails that I had stored throughout the day, but scheduled Outlook to send them at precisely 5:05pm. I also would schedule my Friday e-mails to stagger out in a steady barrage every 2 hours until 8pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Feel free to say thank you to us, american posters
>>533472001this is not true. it should be though.
>>533469330what a servile subhuman, go kill yourself goddamn...
>>533467558Why are they now allowing us to be able to disconnect our phones from its always on state?
>>533469788>Nooooo you can't just keep the same phone!!!>you need to UUUUpgrade rightaway or else you won't be able to run the worthless bloated jeet coded apps!!
>>533467558I probably agree with this.It is close to planned obsolescense to throw away an entire device over a part that is known to degrade.Not sure how annoying it is to design around this.Considering the other stuff they do, I would still prefer the EU politicians would go home instead.
>>533469207phoebus wasnt a cartel, retard it was a standards organization
>>533467558> Ursula rigs everything
>>533472512why there should be lawers involved in this? That is the main question. If you don’t like don’t buy.
>>533469942KekThey might as well make "lifetime fuel">You can't refill the tank but don't worry the built in fuel will last for the vehicle's lifetime>We consider the lifetime to be the first failure of a critical component>Such as the fueling system
Literally the only reason to be against this is if you’re a Mossad agent who is mad that Achmed has an easy way to check if his phone will blow is ballsack off
>>533469344But anon, that's anti-cimpetitive!
>>533467558Wtf does this have to do with competition, nigger?You're the ones banning chinese cars because your cars suck ass.
>>533471332>unfettered capitalism Where? Every industry in the U.S. is completely captured and massively regulated in ways that prevent actual competition.
>>533467558>I will no longer have to throw away my phone every two years.>But what about corporate profits?Do Amerisharts really?
>>533472001I wish this were true
>>533469646>>533470177Not ALL of those laws and regulations are good, many of them are retarded and prevent competition
>>533467558this already existed in the early days of mobile phonesbatteries had shit lifespans and you expected to replace a battery before you replaced your phone this is just a return to common sense
>>533467558We are going to get slower and gayer tech.This is what euros want.Next is unified RAM. Cant replace it and even though its better its illegal.
>>533467558How do they define "easily replaceable" and "average user"?
>>533472908> many of them are retarded and prevent competitionSuch as?
>>533467558BUT THE WATER RESISTANCE
>>533472965>How do they define "easily replaceable" like pic related
>>533467558skill issuei an easily replace batteries in my iphones in just a few minutes
>>533471332If people wanted "right to repair" then a company would make products that could be repaired and beat all the competition. Even you could start your own company and make it so everything could be repaired and you would be a trillionair because that is what people want right? Apple and everyone else would go out of business because thye don't have it. That is how the free market works.But people obviously dont want right to repair.
>>533469788yes phones should last a decade minimum
>>533467558who cares about smartphones ,nobody keeps them and buys used. they should force this law on german automakers making shit cars
>>533467558This should be the norm across the globe. Better make em real nice and easy to replace.
>>533472884Why don't you buy a phone that you can replace the battiery in?Maybe you can't in apple, so don't buy apple.DUH.PEOPLE VOTE WITH THEIR WALLET.
>>533467611buy a phone with a removable battery then faggot lets be real you arent repairing shit, the brussels effect is cancer and retards american growth and innovation
>>533473297You don't have to live in the EU. Enjoy your American goods.
>>533472965Easily replaceable means you don't have to remove the screen and half the innards to reach the battery. Average user means someone two standard deviations smarter than you.
>>533467808Companies have no duty to "compete" they have a legal duty to make as much money as possible. It's settled legal precedent in the USA.
>>533473262According to who?You who hasnt done anything with his life and even if given the proper tools to replace a battery right now couldnt do it because youre so dumb?Actually ruining tech because niggers are too retarded.
>>533473406heil blackrock!
>>533467840>Why can’t you have the right to buy whatever the fuck you want?No one in europe wants unrepairable stuff.We've complained for decades.

>>533473372>>533473113Not what I asked. I want the actual definitions of those two things from the legislation.
>>533473465smartphones
>>533467611basedyou're honorary white
>>533467558Kek.Does this include Ipads? Those things are a bitch to replace the batteries on.
>>533467558The EU has its problems but they also have based laws like this.
>>533467840because civilized society has rules to benefit the civilians, vile
>>533473462If people wanted repairable stuff then someone would make a company where you could repair the item and put the other companies out of business. So you are wrong. No one wants repairable stuff.Samsung phones can be taken apart and you can replace items in them. So buy that instead of an iphone. duh.Put apple out of business. It's not an issue. Samsungs repairable phones are not putting apple out of business are they?WELL ARE THEY? ADMIT ITS NOT EVEN AN ISSUE.
>>533473522>ANSWER MY QUESTION IN THE AUSTICALLY RETARDED WAY I DEMAND IT ANSWEREDgo fuck yourself
>>533473654The EU collectively - as consumers - have asked phone brands to make repairable phones. If you don't want them, don't buy them.If Apple doesn't want to make them, they're free to leave the market. What's the issue? How is this impacting you?
>>533467611ThisFUCK CORPORATE AMERICA!>>533469330Kys you dumb nigger
>>533473740The makes non rpairble phones because that is what their customers want.People are free to buy other phones.When the government steps in products turn into trash.Like cars. In the USA you can't buy small pickup trucks because of regulations.
>>533473661>legislation is passed>contains vague and 100% subjective language>ask how those terms are defined in the legislationNot autistic at all, it's a valid question. Instead of just saying you don't know or not responding, you get upset. Congrats, you just outed yourself as EXTREMELY low IQ. Filtered. Reply more, I won't see it. I know you can't resist, low IQ people always keep replying.
>>533473740why doesnt a European company make a phone that you can change the battery and let the customer choose? why doesnt europe make anything
>>533474003You live in a totally free market, which is great for you! You'll be able to buy any phone you like :)
>>533474090This is what I'm saying too.If custermers want this then a company is free to make them and sell them and put iphone out of business.Apple makes its phones non repairable because that is what their customers want. They want a fully sealed phone that wont bust on them.
>>533474093If people wanted repairble iphones apple would make them that way or they would have no customers. They give the customer want they want.
>>533473419me against the wall corpo cuck
>>533474255Thankfully now you'll have repairable phones in the EU, and non-repairable phones from outside the EU, so you'll have more choice!
>>533474287Why is the communist government micromanaging companies? Companies make what the customer wants right now. What if the government made a regulation every phone had to have 2 foot atenna on it that is not even needed and at the end of that atenna there needs to be a red balloon.Customers are not asking for that.
>>533474413Why are you so bothered about the EU? Buy your non-repairable phone.
>>533467558I am right-wing and i don’t understand why you don’t want to be able to repair your devices.
>>533473297>Why don't you buy a phone that you can replace the battiery in?There are none with the specs I want.>PEOPLE VOTE WITH THEIR WALLET.People get fist-fucked by the invisible hand of the market, as soon as the initial instability of competition goes away and the stability of oligopoly comes in.
>>533467558This is good actually and increases competition since it increases customization options with different batteries. Apple's entire design is to make things for retards that are impossible to replace without Apple's assistance. The whole company should be banned for encouraging retardation ideally
I'd be willing to buy an iPhone if the EU prevented jeets from entering my country.
>>533474050You can stop being a lazy faggot now.Replaceability is defined is article 11.https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/engThe legislation doesn't refer to average user but end-user which is defined in article 3-2.(b) and sends back to regulation 2019/1020, article 3 (21).https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/1020/oj/eng
>>533472339>and you can still replace the batteries yourself if you’re not retarded.1) heat your phone to weaken the adhesive and open it without breaking the glass2) remove the adhesive between the phone and battery with alcohol/gasoline/acetone, one drop too much and your phone is fuckedIt is not easy dude. Even if you follow the guide it may take you 5h+ if you are not a professional.
>>533470879Communism doesn't mean "you businesses need to build a door on the back of your products so people can swap batteries".Communism means "we the state are now issuing products to people, and the people will work to produce them for the state".
>>533474413>What if the government made a regulation every phone had to have 2 foot atennaWhat if the EU required that every phone had USB-C charging?Oh, wait. they did: https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/eu-common-charger-rules-power-all-your-devices-single-charger-2024-12-28_enYou Amerisharts are so fucking gay for corporate cock...
>>533467558>You must become the worlds landfill for 3rd world populations. Why?>Capitalism needs us.You can't be serious.
>>533469666It can't be that bad. Surely your smaller farmers are less toxic?
>>533468760The reason they dont want you to replace the battery is because the phone still works when you replace the battery.They want to sell you a whole new phone, and they dont want you to buy a battery 3rd party either
>>533469788Yes, rocking Samsung S5 still.Fuck kikes
>>533471319I had one of the later Lumias and it was a surprisingly good phone, even despite running windows. I switched to it from an old SE W200 and had no problems figuring it out. Funnily enough, it took me longer to get used to Android after I got a new phone after Lumia.>nokia BL-5C batteries were so ubiquitous and a great simple design that they're still newly made in china for all sorts of devicesI know. My father keeps all the old phones we had and from time to time he gets one into working shape. I think he has a working nokia 3510i and 6225 at the moment. And he definitely has my old 3210 in a drawer somewhere.
>>533473406That's why we should change the laws
>>533467558>Europoors are prohibited from having waterprood in their smartphones Lmaooo>>533469330He's 100% right and basedIlliterate techlets seethe
>>533467611Yeah, this is the only thing good about the EU. My iPhone 14 Pro Max is about hitting that shit battery threshold, and I nearly purchased a new phone the other day. Replacing the battery would do it, because it still does everything else I need. Can shit up pol, watch movies, it fits snugly up my arse, etc.
>>533467558Hey if they were doing more of this, SKG, and the USB-C thing instead of importing 7 gorillian Somolis I'd make fun of them less.
>>533473462everything is reparable if you are not a dumb nigger. You can’t fucking unscrew the phone, you need an army of lawers and compliance officers to make sure changing a battery is not difficult for you? And why do you need reparable hardware if all your software is locked in to your digital ID and you can’t do shit anyways?
The EUs consumer protection laws are great. I like how they put pressure of buinesses here becuase the cost of not doing buinesses would be too great not to comply and it's calculated to be the best course of action. We get the more free markets here at home while at the same time reaping some of the benefits of the standards being enforced becuase, again, the math just often makes if favorable to have things available in both markets. Best of both worlds. As an american consumer I'd be shooting myself in the foot to complain about it at this juncture.
>>533467558Fuck yeah. I remember how all phones had swappable batteries and all of a sudden all of them became closed.
>>533469330Nah you are bullshitting hahahahahaha
>>533473406Now they have a "legal duty" to make batteries interchangeable
>>533475122you can replace a batery in every phone, it is a separate component always, you know? You law doesn’t change anything except for feeding a special unit of idiots in EU comission.
>>533468760
>>533475610>memeflag is retarded
>>533475589that would be at least something
>>533475504That's private equity judaism for you!
>>533467611True and it's getting worse and worse each year.2013 car is easy to repair and those new 2019+ are so bad that you end up sinking 3000+ euros into tools alone.
>>533469330>sorry goy I welded this laptop shut forever because it was a design choiceLmfao you are the most raped man on this website
>>533472489I bet you love the SCSI, you scuzzy fuck
>>533475845you can never force the company to make things cheaper for you. Whatever law you make they will make you suffer even more, just don’t buy. Iphone charges with non apple usb 5 times slower. You will never win, timmy. Its just retards in eu commission have illusion of power while being incompetent.
>>533475845You do know that you can unsolder and replace any part on a laptop, from a resistor to video memory, right?
>>533469788You would have been right in the 2010s but smartphone technology is now a mature technologyThis is evidenced in how few new features there are between smartphone generations
>>533475393>Guys it's easy you just need a heat gun tools they were locking people up for selling 3 years ago, to hook up a 9 volt battery with a special tool they were locking people up for selling to the special volt lock, a battery that they were locking people up for selling, plastic picks and a suction cup. I get that the repair is possible, but every other phone I've owned you just pop the case open with some plastic picks, standard screws, maybe use a heat gun if it's glued, and just unplug it. I don't see how having an electronic lock that I need a special tool to hack permanently open makes the phone better for the consumer.I see very clearly how having a way of making it so the consumer can't replace the battery benefits Apple, the "They want the phone to be worthless in 2 years so you buy another one" explanation makes the electronic lock on the battery make perfect sense.
>>533469103damn she looks good in that fit though
>>533475122>The reason they dont want you to replace the battery is because the phone still works when you replace the battery.What sort of phone do you have that you cannot purchase a new battery for?
the only reason i had to buy a new phone was because the battery died
>>533476393they will just just make the new version of OS slow down your phone and make it a brick, that is it, but charged with a new battery. You can refuse the updates but your online banking up will be blocked because it needs to comply to new security standards
>>533476529Stop it.
>>533472001this would be very coolIt would be amazing if you could also thus connect all devices straight to the mains using the same interface
>>533476393How many people do you know who have been incarcerated for selling a guitar pick and a suction cup?

>>533472339Oh ok so by your logic I have to buy a new phone or go to your repair shop while you tell me you don't have the parts anyway.
>>533467558fpbp
>>533476768I'm on day 450 or so of my day nagging me to upgrade. Nobody will ever fucking leave you alone any more. Just let me own my shit and modify it as I see please, without getting blackboxed.
>>533467840Why did cell phones go from all having removable batteries to none having removable batteries if not anti-consumer fuckery?
>>533476576why didn’t you just change the battery? A somali in a repair shop would do it for you for 10 euros + plus the battery cost, if you can’t figure out yourself and need EU instructions
YOU VILL REPLACE ZE BATTERY ON YOUR TELEFON!
>>533476903they all have removable batteries already, it just doesn’t make sense to replace them when you van buy a new much better phone for the price of the old battery
>>533475785One time I got locked out of my own car even though I had the key in my pocket. It literally blocks you from even inserting the manual key into the door if it's left running. They also don't allow you to lock your car if it's running. Fuck technology.
>>533467558doesn't this make it harder for phones to be durable and waterproof and stuff? Who even needs to replace the battery in a modern smartphone?
>>533467558In 2026 burgers fly to the moon while eurofaggots fuck up customer rights yet another time.Bomb Brussels when you are done with Teheran and people will worship you fat nigger faggots like it's Cold War again.
>>533476962>just rely on the somalisfucking paki scum
>>533477023How fucking old are you? Cell phones used to be like remote controls. They were piss easy to replace the battery in. I'm not talking about your stupid ass shit that had a high likelihood of bricking your device. They popped out with ease.
>>533475122phone batteries reached the point where they are robust and big enough to outlive the rest of the device. A mid class phone with 5000mA battery runs 2-3 days on 80% charge. A phone battery degrades after like 700-1500 full charges, at 80% 1c that is easily trippled, even with daily charging thats 12 years.OS, Processors and cameras age terrible, every couple years new shit has better performance for lower power drain.Of course you can live with the old shit until apps dont support the os anymore, but sourcing a genuine battery for a 5-10 year old device is not easy and has a high chance of getting scammed.That regulation would have been a million times more sensible if it came in 2017 where batteries and batterie management sucked
>>533467558This is retarded. This will destroy any waterproofing phones have
>>533477098>Who even needs to replace the battery in a modern smartphone?Are you retarded? Phone batteries lose battery life like fucking crazy. Every phone I've had has had this problem. Their solution? A setting that only charges it to 80%. Thanks for nothing.
>>533467558>boomers seething about not getting fucked by corposwhy burgers are like this? what causes it?
btw you can replace an iphone battery for 40 euros by yourself 40 fucking euros including the kit on ifixit
>>533477250You're a fucking liar, you corporate stooge.
>>533477177but it is rechargeable batteries now, they are not supposed to be replaced, not like in a remote control
>>533476903All normal smartphones (Apple fuckers are not normal) have replaceable batteries, there's simply no dedicated slot to it and you have to open the case and attach it to the connector port.I like this solution because it takes less place and it's more reliable than the oldschool batteries with contact plates.
>>533473576Ty Poleanon, I will not squander your endorsement.
>>533472965https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/ojsection 38I think a portable battery is a battery that someone carries around rather than an industrial/automotive one.>A portable battery should be considered to be removable by the end-user when it can be removed with the use of commercially available tools and without requiring the use of specialised tools, unless they are provided free of charge, or proprietary tools, thermal energy or solvents to disassemble it. Commercially available tools are considered to be tools available on the market to all end-users without the need for them to provide evidence of any proprietary rights and that can be used with no restriction, except health and safety-related restrictions.Tbh I'm not sure what that last sentence would apply to except for proprietary screws.This doesn't prevent them from forcing you to completely disassemble the phone though I guess. Maybe that's somewhere else.Interestingly it makes two exceptions: 1 for devices that are obviously intended for water environments and 2 for medical devices.
>>533477369Oh yeah, that's way better than popping the back off with the press of a button, pulling the battery out, putting a new one in and replacing the cover. Imagine posting that image as if it's the correct solution.
>>533477250>A mid class phone with 5000mA battery runs 2-3 days on 80% charge.Or a week if you use it as a cellphone and not a pocket youtube player.
>>533477414They were rechargeable before, retard.
>>533469248Apple is gonna make it replaceable only by Apple-licensed repair shops, so that the applegoy still has to pay the appletax
>>533477316What fucking waterproofing? If you drop your phone in water, you're fucked regardless. The rice trick doesn't work. What a dumbass reason.
>>533477317>I still have the same phone I had 10 years agoI don't buy the newest smartphone but even I don't have this problem.
>>533477509>that's way better i mean this is a thing you are doing once after like two years, and then you get a different phone by trading that phone inits not like you are popping out the battery every month
>>533477663>If you drop your phone in water, you're fucked regardlessidiotIdiotIDIOTThe most of "rugged" smartphones survive a short bath without issues
>>533477692Nah, that was when it was the worst. My samsung s5 battery shit itself and so did the s6 I bought to replace it.
>>533477449Still very vague language on purpose.>Commercially available tools are considered to be tools available on the market to all end-usersAmazon and tool websites make this mean basically any tool. So they could still make the disassemble process incredibly difficult as all tools needed can be found on Amazon.
>>533477663>What fucking waterproofing?yeah, try having to use your phone when its raining to make a call or use the maps
>>533477786That's what they tell you and retards believe. Now try it for yourself.
>>533469779Just buy chinese brands retard. Everything is made in China, you just pay extra for goy branding.
>>533467611Fippy Bippy
>>533477820Yeah, that's probably why old phones had dust covers on their ports and weren't left wide open to the elements like they are now.
>>533470380>Its not a kindergarten game who can lawyer better.OBJECTION!>t. Moisel Moishelstein>>533470641The basis was actually the US pumping billions into anti-Nuclear lobby organizations in Brussels. But thanks for your insight, muttlover.
>>533477567They are all also replaceable now. I don’t see really a problem here. The chances that i need to replace a battery in my phone rather than buying a new one are so small so i definitely prefer having a more compact design instead of easy accessible batterie compartment. This law will change literally nothing except for some extra sticker on the phone or some arrow. If they want to you to buy a new phone you will buy it, and EU can not do shit. The only solution is that they make their own phone guided by their superior morals. It was the waste of money to fund this regulation work.
>>533470177Also HR laws, paternity leave laws, banking regulation laws where extortion credits to stupid poors are forbidden, etc.This is like that monty python Life of Brian bit.>but besides schools, hospitals, roads, pacifying us retarded jews, sanitation, aqueducts and various other improvements, WHAT did the romans ever do for us?
>>533469788I used my last phone 10 years until it stopped reading the SIM card.And that most likely happened because the battery swole inside and something cracked. If i could replace the battery before, the phone would still work.Sure the software is dated, but so what, I could still use it just as a phone for simple stuff. Or give it to a family member who needs a simple phone.
>>533477800eh I suppose, but I don't think the manufacturers will go out of their way change their process that much and construct their phones with obtusely niche and numerous toolsit's funny how the legislation shoehorns 'no thermal power' in thereIf some other loophole is found out maybe they'll just plaster it on in an ugly legislation amendment
>>533467558it's not a stupid law, you dumb jew! all devices should be easily accessible internally by the person that owns it. Europe found out about your jew tactics to spy on people by having locked tech. it ain't going to be happening anymore, jew. #TJD!
>>533477820Having a replaceable battery doesn't change the usability of a touchscreen while it's raining, unless we are talking cat5 storm conditions.
>>533478165how do you define easily accessible? If someone can’t figure out how to replace a battery they can sue the manufacturer? Do you need to pass an iq test first?
>>533468665If American companies want to do business in the EU they will have to comply. Seethe.
>>533475589Thank god. Now Ivring Dollarburg Tele Corp can sell their phones for $1500 euros and replacement batteries for $2200 and just push people to buy new phones instead.
>>533478346They will. And they will comply by hiring a lawer and putting a sticker «replaceable battery», and you will pay for that
>>533478301For the battery, it's defined in the law which has already been linked here>>533477449and here>>533474734Don't worry, the eu can do the needed legal work.
>>533478301all batteries should be easily replaceable on all devices that require batteries, because otherwise it's a safety issue that can cause explosion and outer shell being shrapnel. electronics manufacturer shouldn't be allowed to make parts that are supposed to be serviceable behind a paywall. >welcome to iJEW, I see you have a phone that needs a new battery. well that's going to be $100 for the battery, $300 for technitian replacing it and $300 tax#TOTALJEWDEATH
>>533477250well it def doesnt feel like it.my iphone 12 was at 79% battery health and i would need to charge it like three times A DAY, i would literally carry a charger with me all the timegot a new battery and now everything is so much better
>>533477838My Cat S41 and Cubot Mini 2 have survived far worse accidents
>>533478469cope
>>533471258Question of principle.It brings back openable phone that can have parts fixed or replaced without needing some special heat gun and tools.Brings back user control over the device you buy and want to fully own, including by fixing if it breaks
>>533478372>buys chink phone for 100€ insteadwoooops my bad. Capitalism is a bitch isnt it haha
The only- ONLY- kind of devices that actually benefit from this law would be e-ink devices.Anybody who bought an Onyx or Pocketbook knows what I'm talking about.
>>533478002You really don't see the benefit of being able to change a battery and have an instantly full charge to work with? Really?
>>533478702I've literally never heard of those.
>>533467558larping leftard trying to make rightoids look more retarded than they already are
>>533474090All phones (all electronics) are made in Asia now. The US doesn't make a phone either.There are Euro companies that order assembled phones from Asia and brand them and add their own version of Android. Something like Fairphone, Nothing phone, and others.
>>533478900It's how the market for cheap utility electronics works. Years ago it was better to buy a new shitty ink printer + free full cartridge instead of buying a new ink cartridge.
>>533479304I actually did that, because those pieces of shit are built to break if you ever let the ink dry due to not using them often. Absolute jewry.
>>533476703Henrik Huseby comes to mind, but it's more that people know it's illegal, and difficulty to get away with so it's very rare. You can't exactly build electronic lock bypassing equipment in your garage, and sell it in the black market at rates that compete with people importing it in countries that don't have extradition with the US. They just make them in China, and sell them illegally under a new name every other month. They still have to do that for Nintendo's proprietary "Gamebit" screw.
>>533471353>Most retarded take itt.But factually correct.
>>533479405I find it surprising the market for shitty ink spitters still exists. I have no idea who would buy one for home instead of a compact laser printer.
>>533472657>go kill yourselfYou'd like that, wouldn't you, rabbi?
>>533473822>Kys you dumb niggerSee:>>533479746
>>533479711No you're not. You're a dumb ass. Just because I can buy some proprietary tools off the internet to change my transmission fluid doesn't mean they should be allowed to lock every mechanic except the dealership from being able to do it for you. Corporate stooge.
>>533475845>welded this laptop shut foreverIf you're retarded enough to purchase proprietary (((Apple))) products, then you deserve the challenge. Generic products are not this difficult to take apart. But where there's a will there's a way. Even with (((Apple))) hardware.
>>533479845>You're a dumb assI'm not the one crying on an Indonesian anime board about how there needs to be training wheels to make it easier to repair the shitty overpriced (((Apple))) slop I overpaid for. The ones doing that are the ones that are dumb, but that's not me.
