When we think about battery longevity, we think about charging cycles. But that’s not the whole story.

    Your device manufacturer has designed it to break in as many ways as possible so you have to buy a new one.

    Why do you think everyone switched to non-removable batteries?

    If you don’t take responsibility for your device, you are just like the people that think not owning your own hardware is fine.

      Why do you think everyone switched to non-removable batteries?

      Well the purported reasoning is that less shielding is required. Seems plausible but IDK how true. I assume it’s partly true.

        Some day you will learn that nearly every justification made by corporations like this is bullshit.

        But I bet they’re glad you continue to spread it so loyally.

          Whatever mate.

          My comment acknowledges that it’s a dubious claim. I’d hardly call that spreading nonsense loyally.

            Let the corps fuck you for a few more decades and you’ll be jaded like me.

            More probably because the fucking bloodsuckers are getting better at it.

              Jaded?

              No, I think you’re just another snarky Lemmy commenter that doesn’t bother actually readying and understanding anything but trots out the same tired positions in thread after thread.
