Short and sweet summary as called out by Gamers Nexus:

1. Testing methodology sux and results are not sanity checked, thereby misleading consumers.
2. If errors are caught, they are corrected poorly and acknowledged with asterisks or in description, which does not put enough of a spotlight on it.
3. Trashing on a small company (billet labs) that makes dope coolers for performing poorly due to improper testing and not retesting because “I don’t wanna spend 500 bucks”
4. Not returning the prototype which was sent to them by billet labs for testing and AUCTIONING IT OFF (allegedly to a potential competitor) at LTX.

Wholeheartedly agree. Wverything else I can understand and maybe even excuse. But auctioning off a prototype that isn’t even yours is so far beyond the line. They have turned into another soulless corporation just like Google, Apple, Microsoft etc. And corporations should never be trusted.

What about art copyright?

Thank you for this gem!

Holy shit. That somehow makes it much worse

The best part is that it’s a coffin. Even if they get to the surface, they are still bolted in from the outside. Also it has no flares, no redundancies, no balloon that floats up, absolutely no backups in case anything goes wrong. No reasonable person would look at this and think: “Yep! Perfect excursion for my vacation!”

Ok. I know the sub got lost. What the hell is going on now? What do orcas have to do with anything?

Certainly. But I hope the EU regulators do the same trick as they did with the USB C port rregulation. It is against the rules to make it a walled garden.

The hell are you talking about? Every phone with a user replaceable battery that I have had is still alive and well today. And some of them are over 10 years old. Their batteries are obviously no longer in top shape, but they are still usable. And because they are user replaceable, if it dies, I will just put in a new one.

Even if you are right. Just vote with your wallet. A battery that degenerates too quickly will just kill the sales of the phone it is in.

Also cameras have replaceable batteries. Most live for longer than a modern phone.

And lastly, for fun, let’s say your battery died too quickly because the manufacturer is a dipstick. Just buy a different brand of battery!

Imagine how much easier repairs will be and how much lower the amount of e-waste will be when you can just replace your battery without any tools or knowledge of how to disassemble a smartphone.

Repairability is always something to strive towards. Remember when laptop manufacturers said that a user repairable laptop would be too cumbersome and thick and look bad etc. Then Framework came along and made a wonderful laptop that is user repairable and has tons of cool features. And once you want to upgrade to a more modern CPU, you can upgrade the motherboard and upcycle the older one into a media center, a mini pc or whatever else people have already thought up.

Also it will be fun to watch giant phone companies throw a fit about how this will stifle innovation (ahem Apple). Phones right now require tons of tools to open safely and successfully, because they are glued shut. The excuse they provide is that it is required for water resistance. And yet there were phones with a user replaceable battery and water resistance. And nowadays even phones without water resistance are glued shut.

And the manufacturers call this innovation apparently. That is sad. And it is sad that you believe them.

Wouldn’t you like to know, fedboi.

Sacrifices must be made. At least your chip isn’t burning.

I apologize for any offense I caused. I shall refrain from using it in future.

I use vanced for my phone and on pc I use brave. So I already block everything. Thanks for teaching me how the ads on YouTube work.

Dude screw you. I spent far longer than I’d like to admit figuring out that this is loss.
