minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•11 months agoYa the only reason I get new phones is because the battery gets too weak. I could easily keep the same device for 5+ years if I could swap batteries
minus-squarelorezlinkfedilinkEnglish3•11 months agoThe only reason I get new phones is cos OS updates stop flowing. That happens way before I notice any battery degradation. This law solves nothing.
