Easily #Replaceable #USBCPort Spawned By EU Laws

"The USB-C port has become a defacto connectivity standard for modern devices, largely supplanting the ugly mess of barrel jacks and micro USB connectors that once cursed us. While their reliability is good, they don’t last forever, and can be a pain to replace in most devices if they do fail. However, a new part from JAE Electronics could change that."

#Everyone one of us is #replaceable.

@graves501 I know! 🫣️ I was just totally hypnotized with the Gigaset back then. Reasonably priced, more or less #green and #fair, with #dualsim, #replaceable #battery and even a #headphonejack. It just ticked all my boxes back then. And I think I plain forgot to think about the operating system for a moment and now "I have the salad". 😜️ But, ไม่เป็นไร (it's ok). 🤓️ My next phone will have to be a #linuxphone though. I'll just hold out till then, I guess. 😝️

@QuadRadical @macberg Last year I bought this rather amazing #smartphone with user #replaceable #battery, #trippleslot #dualsim, beautiful #display and reasonable #cpu #gpu #performance and have been wondering ever since if I could run any alternative #rom or even #linux on it. https://www.gigaset.com/hq_en/gigaset-gx6/ Need to look into this soon.

„by 2027 portable #batteries incorporated into appliances should be #removable and #replaceable by the end-user”

Before the pandemic, I didn’t know how Americans could support a game that we *know* destroys people’s brains for simple entertainment.

I understand better now.

I just received my frame.work (i5) DIY edition laptop. I haven't installed the RAM and NVMe yet (they need to come out from another machine first) but I'm pretty impressed with the build quality so far. The laptop feels solid and the expansion cards fit flush and tight. I'm excited about the 3:2 display, #modular design, and user #replaceable everything.
If folks are interested I can share my experience as I get it up and running.
