sneezy

Has anyone else always had a spare phone battery in the pocket to swap on the go?

Imagine you could just do that.

Here's a thought, what if phones weren't made to be disposable?

Now i hope it says something about availability of the replacement batteries...

Due to unexpectedly high demand, the $300 battery you ordered has 5 months waiting list. Payment in advance, of course, for your convenience.

Remember that consumers expect certain things from smartphones nowadays, which will mean that OEMs can’t just go back to the old way of doing things. An IP68 rating would be very difficult to obtain while still offering a premium-feeling device with an easily replaceable battery, for example. These are hurdles OEMs will need to get over to be in compliance.

this is straight-up BS. there were many phones with ip68 and user-replacable batteries back when sealing the battery in a phone was frowned upon. not all but many.

interesting. But that seems to rely on Chrome, which I've removed. I'm using Duckduckgo as main browser instead. So I just fireproof the login, bookmark and I'm good. Thanks for the explanation, though.

edit: there seems to be a sandboxed webapps browser on f-droid

install ... a website? is that a thing?

Gotta say, the website works great on phone too. No reason to get an app

still don't want zucc to win, tho

Seriously, fuck IBM for paywalling a source code.

Yup, like Elle said, you can request a community be made on another instance so you don't need to make a separate account

Pull the plug. Unless you're on laptop, in that case you gotta wait a few hours.
