Apple Explains Why It Won’t Make iPhones With Replaceable Batteries - Lemmy

It is called a rubber o-ring.

That’s how other companies have been making water-tight compartments for batteries and other things for literally decades now. But all of a sudden, Apple wants to pretend this is some unsolvable problem. For fucks sakes stop acting like this is some insane ask, goddamn it.

No other government body is as consumer-friendly as the EU, so I really hope this bill passes and forces Apple to comply. I am so sick of the bullshit from these megacorporations who are so big they just don’t give a flying fuck about what consumers want. And on the flipside, there are going to be a million Apple apologists who will side with Apple on this topic. Those bootlickers only make things worse for everyone.

Apple apologist here. They can fuck off over this.
Whata the draw? What makes you pick Apple over something else?

The “something else” is spyware trash owned by a garbage-tier advertising company (Android).

Apple’s been quite open with how they handle privacy, to the point where they would be on the hook for incredible amounts of damages if they were found to be lying. Turn their telemetry shit off, find all settings you don’t like and turn them off, actually configure the shit properly and you’re more locked down than you are with your oh-so-secure custom Android running on a no-name phone that totally doesn’t have built in spyware shit that flashing a ROM won’t do a damn thing to kill we promise.

I still feel like building an open source os form the code is more secure then believing what a company tells me

Yeah, people like to say that. “But the source is open!”

When was the last time you actually read any source of any program you use regularly? Do you just assume other people do so?

They don’t. Just look at the amount of bug reports on any large scale project. That’s all unintentional errors someone missed.

How many intentionally obscured errors are out there?

The only true response is to trust literally nobody except those that have some level of massive fuckoff financial responsibility not to screw you over. And also don’t trust them either. Trust them less, actually.
