minus-square2ZR_FXE@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year ago The European Parliament also caused a major headache for all super small and wearables manufacturers too. Well… It seems device manufacturers should have thought of that before starting shipping glued electronics 😊 No one likes to pay €80+ to replace their phone’s battery. Most of the times people just throw their devices away and buy new ones. Or, for example, people just throw their €100+ airpods to the trash just because the battery isn’t “replaceable”. Totally agree with EU’s position.
