6 months agoBe nice too if Japan passed a law allowing users to sideload batteries. Apple’s greatest sin in my book was sealing up batteries in the ipod and should of been outlawed at the very beginning. What a waste. I still keep my LG V20 because of replaceable batteries and a nice dac. The thing is it’s not in a landfill.
Another thing Japan can do is as long as there is a minimum user base(to be determined, maybe 25-50%?) still using a device then security updates at a minimum has to be available. It should be up to the buyer’s if they want to buy a new phone, not the manufacturers. This would save a lot of resources and toxins entering the environment. To I expect this kind of thing? No. My kind of work before retirement was resource extraction, so I seen the damage it does first hand. I realize that these resources are necessary in a modern society, but dam throwing away good stuff so a company can pad there shareholders portfolios is really a bad thing to do.
