Apple is working to make iPhone 16 battery removal easier to comply with EU regulations
  • Also, removable batteries and waterproofing are not mutually exclusive. There have been flagships that were waterproof and had a removable battery, like the Galaxy S5. And there still are phones like that. Manufacturers have taken this away from us.

    Also, also, every other industry has seemed to have figured it out. Go to the dollar store and you will find a flashlight that is waterproof and has easily replaceable AA batteries. Its not that complicated. Apple is one of the most successful companies on the planet, they can hire an engineer to come up with a decent solution. Apple et al. using waterproofing as an excuse to make the entire phone disposable when, not if, the battery dies is bullshit.

  • At least we know it works 🤷
  • Umm, akshually. The Martian atmosphere is already 95℅ CO2. Its cold because the atmosphere is so thin. Its thin because Mars does not have a strong magnetic field like Earth does, so solar winds can strip away bits of the atmosphere. Also, Mars only has about 0.38 times the gravity of Earth, making it easier for gases to escape.

  • Europe faces an unusual problem: ultra-cheap energy
  • A power companies largest expense is maintaining the grid. If their only product has to be sold at negative prices, then there is no money to pay people to maintain the grid. An under maintained gridgrid can lead to very serious consequences, ref:Texas.

  • MacBook Air owner?
  • "Not as shit as you could be" is not something we should be praising. A handful of years is still too short, just because it is marginally better than their competitors doesn't mean we should give Apple a pass. It just means that the industry is full of shitty companies that profit off of producing e-waste, and know that consumers have no real choice but to put up with it.

  • I've had this same conversation I don't know how many times, but about phones. Someone tells me they don't like Android because its slow and buggy, and iPhone is so much better. Then I ask them which Android phone(s) they've tried and its always a loaner that is a cheap, entry level phone and/or it is used and years out of date. So of course a brand new iPhone is going to be a better experience. They don't seem to understand that there are premium phones that use Android.

  • Which are your preferred laptops?
  • A "factory seconds" framework 13 might fit your budget, and you get a laptop that is easily repairable and upgradeable. The 11th gen i7 version that starts at $500 is what I have been using for a couple of years now and still runs great.

    They also have refurbished laptops, but those seem to start a little bit more expensive.
