Compare that to @Fairphone that don't do that bs:

Granted I'd also accept a more #THICC & #Chonky design with like a #DzusFastener to hold the battery in place...

Like some #Iridium #SatellitePhone:

Cuz noone should accept #Unrepariable devices!

This is how a #BatteryChange should be on every #Phone - smart or stupid!

Imagine if your car refuses to start without having an external jumpstarter connected and even then would only drive 30 km/h just BECAUSE you went to a car repair shop around the corner to have the windshield fixed BEFORE the nick would create a huge crack and every cop would pull you over and force you to get your car towed and fixed as it's not road-legal to drive with a cracked windscreen!

People would start throwing Molotovs at car dealerships!

Since #Apple's devices are literally designed to be #fragile, I do think it's safe to assume if not demand that having parts from a donor machine should allow one to fix an issue...

Just like on any major brand laptop.

Even #hp and it's #ProBook #Laptops with their #FUD-based #VendorLock for #RAM that literally bricks #PXE and remote/headless/timer-based booting don't literally lock up unbootable if you were to take a differen ProBook's RAM sticks, WIFI, WWAN, SSD, Keyboard, Screen.

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!

#WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue applies here...

I mean, #Microsoft not only copied #Apple but also upped their game.

On #Surface #Tablets one needs risk destroying the screen to swap out the #battery that will INEVITABLY DIE OVER TIME AND USE!

OFC the #SurfaceLaptop did that same bs with a glued-on top!

Personally, if I had to buy a #Laptop, it would be a @frameworkcomputer since the #NUCbook isn't ready...

And I'd encourage others to also make that choice.

It's just that it's missing a #ToolfreeSwappableBattery as essential & non-negotiable feature for me!

But back to #AntiRepair:

Seriously, which gulible #TechIlliterates buy such shitty devices at MSRP?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcKCKDFWDyo

Not to mention it's an absolute #AssholeMove by all #Laptop manufacturers to not have a #ToolfreeSwappableBattery on their device!

Because there is no valid reason for that shit, when #Panasonic #Toughbook CF-19 were #waterproof with toolfree swappable battery and devices like the #Sony #Vaio #P11Z were thin & light yet had toolfree-swappable batteries...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsNwDbYnGu0

But because #LithiumIon / #LiPo, #LiCo / #Lithium - #Cobalt #batteries will INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME AND USE!

Not making shit #repairable is literally putting people's #health, #safety and the #envoirement [#reuse & #repair are always better than #recycle!] behind #profit!

Espechally #Google's #WebDRM bullshit...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i0Ho-x7s_U

#DRM is always bad - period!

We live in a #ClimateCrisis and making shit last less and be less #repairable is more harmful than the #envoirment than if we'd remove all #SpeedLimits around the globe.

And no, a national #SpeedLimit on Germany's highway won't solve Climate Crisis compared to allowing people to #WorkFromHome whereever technically possible and refuse to make #FTTB / #FTTH a must-provide utility like #electricity, a #phone line and #DrinkingWater!
