@ada I wish #Samsung would've nit #Enshittified their devices!
#Enshittification #AntiRepairDesign #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries
@OpenComputeDesign same with many other things.
#GluedInBatteries instead of #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries are just an #excuse for #AntiRepairDesign. points at #Vaio #P11Z & #Fairphone #FP3plus
#SolderedDownRAM & #SolderedDownSSDs were never valid outside #EmbeddedDevices that need to survive harsh envoirments. points at a rugged, ATEX-certified PTT radio for industrial plants
#Repairability saves lives! points at Medical Devices
Want to have more #battery #runtime? We have solutions for that for decades. points at #EeePC and a tool-free, swappable, #aftermarket, high-capavity battery
Personally I'm so pissed off amidst the ongoing #Enshittification that I really need to get the #NUCbook off the ground before my #X230tablet dies.

- Tho if I had to choose a #Laptop right now that I can buy in stores I'd pick the @frameworkcomputer / #Framework13 hands-down because it's (sadly!) the by far best #Notebook in terms of #repairability & #maintainability!
@timixretroplays nodds in agreement
The faster and harder the #Enshittification hits the more pressing the need becomes to #DIY stuff because everything is being #enshittified and #downgraded.
#Fairphone steals the 2nd #SIM Slot and #HeadphoneJack for no valid reason.
Even @frameworkcomputer doesn't iffer #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries anymore.
It's increasingly aggravating...
Why all #batteries should be #ToolfreeRemoveable & #ToolfreeSwappable per law:

@Natanox @wyatt8740 @ChrSt @tauon @ika I am aware of @libreleah 's products and I do take a look regularly.
However it becomes clear to me that my workflows did outgrow even the i7-3570M and that I've to find something newer that isn't a #downgrade to me.
As much as @frameworkcomputer undo a lot of #Enshittification that #Lenovo introduced (given a lot of if not disgruntled, but at least dissatisfied Lenovo engineers started it, that's no wounder), they sadly didn't offer a #trackpoint or #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries.
And no, #THINN-ness isn't an argument when the #Vaio #P11Z was able to do that in 2008 and that thing was #PeakEngineering in terms of "How tiny can we make an #i586-compatible laptop?" and Sony emgineers just said "yes!" in return...
@Natanox @wyatt8740 @ChrSt @tauon @ika
Several Reasons:
They are getting harder and harder to come by, espechally my #X230Tablet.
As they become more and more of a collectors' item, they become more and more sought after and more expensive (I have a #Vaio #P11Z that I used before that so I know this won't be a road I want to go down)...
I've already maxed out it's current capabilities (minus adding a #BDXL burner, sacrificing WWAN for a 2nd [mSATA -] SSD and shoving in the biggest 2,5" SSD on the market) and the bottleneck is the i5-3320M (or any said generation Intel CPU) soldered to the mainboard.
I know some chinese modders aka. #nb51 released a custom drop-in mainboard but that used an i5-8550U but not only is that also quite old but I've not found any listing for it on any shopping site back then and even then it would've been economically unfeasible.
I need new batteries but the original have #DRM amd #Lenovo doesn't make any new ones.
A 1080p screen would be nice given it's 768p pen+touch screen didn't age well but that mod doesn't work for the #X230t and has a shitton of issues as I know from @fuchsiii 's #Lenuwu #UltimateX230...
Sadly all the machines on the market, even the @frameworkcomputer feel like a substantial #Downgrade in that department and demanding too many compromises in non-negotiable departments...
Like #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries or a 9,5mm Ultra Slimline ODD bay being missing...

@EU_Commission Q: When will you make #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries & fully removeable & upgradeable #RAM & #Storage mandatory?
And if not, why??
@MikaKpk @Fairphone Also even then removing features is not a valid argument.
The #GalaxyS5 had #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries, splash resistance and a #HeadphoneJack - Sony even hat proper #waterproof #XperiaZ Smartphones that were literally advertised for making #Selfies in a #SwimmingPool.
And lets be honest:
Anyone like me who takes #Diving serious would not mind having to pay like €50-100+ for a rugged case that'll do 50m seawater if I ever wanted to abuse a smartphone as diving computer.
@SebastienK if you have to deal with State-Sponsored attackers that can leverage #TEMPEST-based #Exploits than you shouldn't use said devices to begin with but instead use a more rugged system.
There also have #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries for good reasons: #Safety!
Cuz batteries, age, leak, explode or get destroyed all the time...
DRS LXI military laptop part 1
And just like #Apple normalized non-#ToolfreeSwappableBatteries, non-#UpgradeableRAM and non-#ReplaceableSSD's as middle fingers against #consumers, they #AntiRepair efforts and #Enshittification gets normalized and thus more widespread.
THUS THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR EVERYOINE!

@elaine@elaine.is Yeah, and whilst I use a @Fairphone@social.weho.st / #Fairphone #FP3plus, the problem is that #Apple's #Enshittification is being normalized due to lack of #backclash from most consumers [aka. people still buy that shit anyway!] and regulators [aka. #WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue!] against those actions! https://mstdn.social/@kkarhan/110800984335464256
