EU Mandates Device Battery Accessibility by 2027; Exemption Paths Emerge
EU law from Feb 2027 requires phones, tablets to have user-replaceable batteries to reduce e-waste. Some devices may be exempt if batteries last longer.

By February 2027, all new phones and tablets sold in the EU must have batteries that users can easily replace. This is a big change from today's glued-in batteries.

Success! I have repaired my phone's USB C port! Shocked to see that the old one had completely disintegrated and fallen apart ... hope the replacement holds up for a long long time.
The process was super easy, I watched the tutorial (the relevant part being like 2 min long) and immediately got it to work.
Hurray for repairable tech! 🎉

A friend of mine will actually teach me how to solder in December ... so I'll be replacing that mp3 player battery after all! :blobmaracas:

Sustainability win! ♻️ 🌟 This week, me and my partner successfully replaced a broken laptop screen (fall damage) on a 5 year old HP probook laptop. It was a little fiddly but NOT HARD TO DO, and the replacement screen (~120€) was the only cost involved. Seriously, if you can operate a screwdriver and have some fine motor skills, you can do this.
We couldn't have done it without videos on YouTube though, so thank you to everyone who has ever uploaded a video of a repair! We have replaced this laptop's keyboard last winter, so this is the second repair. It works like a charm and hopefully will last many more years!
If you read this, share a recent repair or sustainability win of yours, I'd love to celebrate with you! 🎉

Dropped by Game Stop yesterday (side note, wtf is up with opening at noon, Game Stop? some of us like to get their "out in public" nonsense done BY noon, ya bastards.) and picked up The Outer Worlds Switch cart (side note 2: almost $30 bucks?? No wonder people prefer to emulate the Switch. this game is half that on any other media.)
Dropped it in the OLED when I got home and it was immediately recognized and I "updated" it which mostly meant DLing the stuff that wouldn't fit on the cart. Played it for a couple hours with no problems.. other than it looks not great on the Switch, even docked lol. It's been a few years since I played it but I still remember it pretty well.
So yeah, this OLED is in fully working shape. Now I just need to get some good pics of it and pack it up to sell.

The other Switch I bought that is complete except for a mobo arrived today. So far the Joycons connected and paired fine, the charger works fine, and the Dock is in good shape and works fine. Which basically means the OLED is working fine. Currently downloading DCUO since it's an MMO so I won't be forced to play against other people/I have an acct with it already. If I can't access that acct well that's fine, I'll roll something just to give the console an actual playing conditions test for a while. Only thing left to test after that would be the game card slot, so I guess I should hit up Game Stop soon, heh.
Feeling pretty good about being able to resell this Switch, hopefully.
