It states that any battery should be removable and replaceable by the user. So this slap on tactic will only work if your device has no internal battery.

I also noticed this is for all batteries. Not just phones, but also cars etc.

EDIT: As any EU law there is a lot of nuance and exceptions. I dig a little further and found the following:

The regulation introduces requirements that say that portable batteries should be easily removable and replaceable by the end-user and LMT batteries and cells in LMT batteries should be easily removable and replaceable by an independent professional.

So what is LMT?

The regulation defines five battery categories depending on how the battery is used:

  • Portable batteries
  • Light means of transport (LMT) batteries
  • Starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) batteries
  • Industrial batteries
  • Electric vehicle (EV) batteries

I couldn't find any concrete wording for "easily removed and replaceable". But I sure hope it means no more glue for the portable batteries.

I will say that they still store and use your data some way. They just haven't been caught yet.

Anything you have to send over the internet to a server you do not control, will probably not work for a infosec minded legal team.

Not to mention the current degradation of American Freedoms™, and the constant abuse of the American Election System™ by certain actors.

Gently reminding everybody that condeming Israel's actions in Gaza does not equate anti-Semitism. And blaming all the Jews for your troubles is anti-Semitism.

My k3 pro is a personal bluetooth jammer. If it is on bluetooth nobody in the room is able to do anything else if it connects with bluetooth. I already updated the firmware.

It is still a great wired keyboard.

If you are interested in the subject, this is an interesting medium article.

And should you wish to go directly to the technical source, skipping Medium's stupidity, here you go.

I think it would be like drawing. If you don't have aphantasia and have an epic image in mind, and basically only be able to put it down in stick figures.

In this case, you might know what strings to press and how hard to strum those strings. But you still need to get your fingers on those strings without tangling them and know how to pluck and strum them.

Ah yes. My personal bluetooth jammer.

Dude. Relax. He ain't a communist. Get yourself out of the tribal mindset. Not everybody disagreeing or hyperbolically agreeing with you on social policies on Lemmy is a communist.
