@eniko personally, I'll boycott the #Enshittification and refuse to buy a #GPTmouse and anything with a #CopilotKey as a matter of principle!

Just like I refuse to buy stuff without #toolfree remove- and #swappable #batteries...

#WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue

This aged poorly amidst #Apple's #AntiRepairDesign...

Remember whan #Laptops had #tolfree #swappable #Batteries and fully-removeable and swappable #RAM and #SSD|s?

Cuz I do and I don't compromize on those!

@dragonarchitect On one hand, Apple does buy good cells.

On the other hand it depends on your useage type and the cargind and discharging controls whether a #LithiumIon / #LithiumPolymer battery becomes a #DangerPillow.

Personally, I prefer #ToolFree #Swappable #Batteries to the point that I'm really looking into finding #LiFePO4 cells and a proper charging/discharging / BMS to use it as a #battery for the #NUCbook.

But that's just me trying a project that needs 6+ digits on 2- digits.

@BMWK @EU_Commission

Same with #GluedIn / non- #ToolFree -#Swappable & #Fully Removeable #batteries...

Noone should accept this #SafetyRisk that manufacturers designed in!!!

I want #toolfree #swappable and fully removeable #batteries...

Whilst I dislike the fact that my @Fairphone #FP3plus battery was bulging into a #DangerPillow, being able to tool-free remove it and just get a replacement from #iFixit for less than the cost of labout to get it done by an #AASP on an #iPhone is a godsend.

Personally I want my devices repairable and yes, #Apple designs them to get slower and to be not repairable ON PURPOSE!

Thanks to #HughJeffreys for showing the #Enshittifcation of #Tech through #PlannedObsolescence aka. #ReducedLifecycle in a #TechIlliterate-friendly way. We need to radicalize the #Consoomers and #Normies so they refuse to buy trash tech! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYhRPiVPA3c

@inkorrupt And try to market mandatory changes as "innovations"...

Pretty shure they'd also #gaslight the audience into believing they'd actually care about #RightToRepair if @EU_Commission forced them to provide #FRAND-like Access to #Parts for #Repairs and #toolfree-#Swappable #batteries...

EU should make like with device chargers and force companies to have all the same (and best) system for replaceable batteries in eBikes

Kenya's clever new electric motorbikes - People Fixing The World, BBC World Service

Motorbikes are a popular form of transport across Africa - but greener electric versions can be expensive. Could this be a solution? Click here to subscribe to our channel ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ https://bbc.in/3VyyriM The millions of motorbike taxis - or boda bodas - are vital for moving people and goods around cities in Africa. But their petrol engines add to high air pollution, which in places like Nairobi often exceeds safe levels. One solution is to change to cleaner electric vehicles. Now there are startups in Kenya introducing affordable electric vehicles with a clever system that means you donโ€™t have to waste time charging them - you just swap the battery instead. The BBC World Service, People Fixing the World team report from Nairobi.

IMHO until charging times equal fill up times, easily swappable batteries have to be the way to go: Hondaโ€™s electric go-kart shows off its easily #swappable #battery system | Ars Technica

Hondaโ€™s electric go-kart shows off its easily swappable battery system

Honda wants to replace small gasoline engines with electric motors and batteries.

My experience is that for long journeys it is an issue. Friends described stressful and delayed #roadtrips with a desire to drive longer they were able to. Would replaceable #h2 cartridges require less infrastructure (Like #swappable #lpg ) ? Its all academic - I'm just musing
@roygreenhilt

There's a reason why all my devices must have #ToolFree #Removeable & #Swappable #batteries.

I hate #DangerPillow|s!
