@nprofile1q... god, and the endless replies from Samsung and Apple bootlickers when I was using Twitter and asked for replaceable batteries on their phones, like "nooo we lose IP68 dust and water resistance 😢"
meanwhile Samsung's Galaxy Xcover series has had a detachable back and removable battery since the first model, and it's still water and dust resistant + certified.
People have been conditioned to think that unless we glue everything shut on a phone, you lose dust and water resistance, when humanity has been using fucking rubber gaskets, seals and o-rings to prevent water from seeping in since the 1850s. That's exactly what the Xcover series uses, and you get a removable battery that's not glued shut, it's just like old dumbphones, you just pop it right off.
And manufacturers have conditioned us that having unrepairable phones is the way forward, because for some reason we all need 6mm-thick phones, as if 10mm is a sin and unfashionable.
