So, I noticed I hadn't backed up one of my old phones. I went to get it from The Box of Cables and Old Electronics, only to discover this *points to picture*

So, is there any way to get the data off this phone without getting a new battery?

No, the data is not on an SD card.

Yes, the phone is now stored safely until I know what to do.

Boosts appreciated.

@suttonart @harleygold Tesla is single handedly responsible for the insane #BatteryBloat of EVs... Convincing people that unless theyve got a $85,000 100kw/h battery and 500km range that they can't possibly manage their 40km commute. End result is they are literally clawing a hundred tons of rocks out of the Earth to blast with acid, chemicals and heat to extract a single ton of exotic ores, to haul around in a battery that they will never use more than 20% of, only to get scrapped when it degrades. Absolutely stupid. I had a small iMiev city EV with a 16.5kwh battery that did absolutely everything I needed when living in town, and could hire a car or take the train when going long distance. Sadly that car is no longer made and the only real replacement is something like the Dacia Spring (small but super practical hatchback, 28kwh battery, no frills or BS #techwank, cheap and simple with a tiny, low power motor that means fewer rare minerals for its smaller magnets), which isn't available here and will soon be discontinued, despite being wildly popular in Europe :(

We need smaller, simpler vehicles (EVs or hybrids) built around #AppropiateTechnology as part of *reducing* our footprint, not just "transitioning" it from one horrific extractive practice to another. Also, vehicles that can easily have their design shared and assembled locally and easily repaired and rebuilt over and over again in the field. We want vehicles that can be kept running for decades and half a million KMs, with a set of hand tools and parts made in the field.
