For phones, merely a user replaceable battery would be so much of an improvement.
You’ll love the new EU law that forces batteries to be easily removable and replaceable by the end user (by 2027).
shure. the brand.
‘Throwaway culture’ implying it was ever a choice and not something that was forced on us.
Gotta keep blaming the consumer. Those poor corporations simply can’t take the constant exploitation and gaslighting from the hateful, greedy, selfish masses that’re ruining the planet with every single second that passes. 😶
Yes, I’ve been using fairphone for a number of year and when I upgraded to 4 I gave my 3 to my mom. Still works great and gets updates as well as spare parts.
The other way round for me. Approaching 70 and get my sons old phones. More than happy.
When you find your mother on Lemmy…
I can’t wait to get one in the us soon. But I’ll hang onto my current phone for as long as I can before hand. Best way to conserve is to use what you have ATM.

Not tech in the sense of the article but disposable vapes are so bad. Belfast is littered with them atm. See them on the road with the batteries hanging out.
