I think that #SolderedDownSSDs / #SolderedDownStorage / #SolderedDownFlash should be illegal - period!

#SOlderedDownStorage / #SolderedDownSSDs should be
#illegal due to being #ReducedLifecycle / #PlannedObsolescence!
Apple's soldered-in SSDs are engineered in the worst way possible
I want @EUCommission & @BMWK to #ban #AntiRepairDesign as pioneered and rolled out by #Apple and copied by a lot of others!
- Espechally ban #SolderedDownStorage & #SolderedDownRAM as well as #GluedInBatteries and #PartsPairing as well as #iCloudLock because all these tactics solely exist to prevent #Repair and thus #Reuse and being an active generation of 100% avoidable #eWaste to the point that this needs to be prosecuted as #EnvoirmentalCrime by the sheer tonnage of #Waste that is being generated by Apple!
Anything else is undue #Leniency against any #GAFAMs that build #unrepairable #electronics!
Planned Obsolescence (ft. Louis Rossmann)
@dw_innovation and that's also added by #AntiRepairDesign by all the #GAFAMs that do imacceptable stuff like #SolderedDownStorage, #SolderedDownRAM, #GluedInBatteries and #RivetedKeyboards that have no reason to exist except fleecing customers by overcharging them for more #Szorage & #RAM as well as enshuring #Repairability is twarted below cost-effective.
- #RightToRepair must not only be enacted as a hard #law with severe penalties and wide-ranging demands for companies, but also must #AntiRepair-#Design be outlawed.
And don't even get me started on #MamfacturedEwaste like #AI #Chips and #ASIC|s for #Shitcoins like #Bitcoin which are inherently #unsustainable and unlike #CPU|s, #GPU|s and other #UsedHardware not really #refurbishable and #recycle-able or even #upcycle-able beyond being "the most complex, noisy and inefficient space heaters possible"...
@foone I already do that as a #Sysadmin who knows how to use #photorec & #ddrescue...
Seriously, shit like this never happens under my watch.
Also #SolderedDownStorage like #SSD's automatically disqualifies a system for procurement and use in my book unless it has a reasonable exception and won't contain sensitive data (i.e. smartphone).
People who dislike that rule should whine at #Apple & co. for their #Enshittification with #SolderedSSDs!
