I think it means Australians πŸ˜‰

Okay, #nostr. Today we are all Aussieβ€˜s πŸ«³πŸ»πŸŽ€πŸ˜‚

Defining the technological advancement of an electronic device by how many washing cycles it can withstand or what height it can fall from without breaking is a very interesting, yet extravagant way of seeing the state-of-the-art. If we agree on this definition, Iβ€˜m 100% with you. Unfortunately, robustness is one of the many characteristics, which happens to be disregarded in the last years.

In my opinion, you are mixing two things: the overall dumbness of the mainstream population striving for overhype and ready to buy any shit they see on TV and the modern technology that is driven by competition, curiosity and investments.

Talking about the latter, the current state was a result of multiple decades of evolution, which seems to be the most optimal solution for the current market situation and the level of competition. Also, Iβ€˜m not saying enforcement of replaceable batteries won’t have any effect - it certainly will. It might not be the one you expect though.

Yes, but techies have always found a way to circumvent that. I heard very similar arguments in 2013 when there were major changes going on for the macbook. Ten years down the road Iβ€˜m still able to replace almost anything in my new macbook. Yes, it’s gonna be a cheaper analogue or the guy is not that skilled, but overall it’s still possible.

It’s a little bit unfortunate to reduce the discussion to Apple devices only, because the same arguments can be applied to all other mainstream devices (Switch, Steam Deck, etc.).

I repaired my apple devices several times. It was not an official service point, of course. But replacing screen glasses, batteries and keyboards was possible.

β€žCheaperβ€œ comes at the price of quality, thus reduced longevity.

Also, by targeting people who buy news stuff, clothes, phones every month/year, you substitute one problem with another. Your arguments could be equally well addressed by β€žeducatingβ€œ people to control their consumption, without the need to enforce new standards.

The actual question is: Will introducing replaceable batteries lead to less electronics waste? Given the current technological state, it’s unlikely (not saying it’s impossible). Will making people aware of the environmental damage caused by excess consumption lead to less waste? Likely yes, but much more time consuming.
