Can’t speak for Germany but in the United Kingdom it’s Palestine Action that has been officially declared a terrorist organisation because they stormed an army base. That means it’s illegal to protest for Palestine Action, but you can still protest in support of Palestine.
Where would you have the runoff go?
I don’t like the idea personally, because the replaceable battery version would be priced up, and likely not given the flagship experience. The point of this law is to prevent ewaste from 2 year old batteries performing badly, and standardising replaceable batteries is the way to stop that. OEMs would just find ways to convince users to buy the phones with no replaceable batteries because they make more money long-term that way. I don’t trust corporations lol.
Not sure, is the battery waterproof? If I drop my phone in a sink of water, and it’s IP68 rated, would this mean I need to replace my battery immediately?
I like the idea, and I suspect gaskets will be the solution they go with, with the back cover applying pressure to the gasket to create a seal. but the EU regulation specifically says that no expertise should be required and you should be able to do it with commercial, standard tools (i.e screwdriver). I don’t think they could make single-use gaskets where you have to purchase additional gaskets from the OEM. I suppose they could come with the battery itself, which the EU requires OEMs to sell for 5 years.
I’m very curious how this will be handled by OEM’s.
Water resistance is pretty much universal at this point, and as far as I know that’s dependent on an airtight seal being maintained throughout the device.
The EU rule forbids use of tools, chemicals or heat to remove the battery. So how does Apple, Google etc retain the IP68 rating if the back is removable via screws?
I obviously think this is a really great step for mobile phones; I miss being able to carry a second battery for long trips back in the day. But I’m concerned that this will also make phones bulkier, heavier and less water resistant.
What’re you going to do when Steam inevitably does this?
I’ll laugh when it happens, given my Steam account is almost 23 years old.
Seems like a great cause, and this YouTuber has really good content about climate science.
I hope blogging comes back once AI has killed algorithmic social media.
Palps tho had a hidden endgame, he wanted the strongest force user’s body to put his own mind into. He wasn’t afraid of Anakin’s raw but untrained power, that was exactly what he wanted. Until Obiwan chopped off 3/4s of his body, ruining him as a host.
Had no idea of any of this stuff. Is that even in the movies?
Your timing is excellent. I’m struggling with managing my relationships in life and am slowly realising that I may have some inattentive ADHD traits. A tool like this, if I can commit to using it, could really help me. And the demo being a massive Community loveletter is a huge green flag! I’m going to give this a go tomorrow.
Same debate where he said “I have concepts of a plan”. Whatever happened to his healthcare plan?
Have you seen memento before? The 2nd and 3rd viewings are the best!
