I think there should be a requirement for easily expandable storage as well.

Switch and Steam Deck seem to be OK for this, but I'd like to further piss on Apple's chips.

Excellent, I like that I can replace batteries easily from my old handhelds, the only issue for that case is finding trusted ones.

This is a very good thing. Thank you EU for forcing us dirty heathens in NA to have consumer protections.

I hate the term consumer the only I consume is food . How about buyer or customer just anything but consumer

[–] emberwit@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Consuming does not mean eating. Either you produce, sell or consume a product.

Steam deck done. https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Steam_Deck

Steam deck done.

Not really. Look up the Linus Tech Tips teardown. The battery is glued in super hard. Linus said he spoke to Valve about that and according to him Valve said they're looking into making it easier to replace at a later date. Since then I've not seen any reports about a change.

Says 2-4 hours and “difficult” on the battery replacement page

And requires heating + prying.

If this is considered replaceable, I wonder what an non-replaceable battery would be. Soldered to the main board and trying to unsolder it causes a failsafe to short the CPU?
