>Electronic devices should be robust and easily repairable -- and laws should encourage or enforce this, members of the European Parliament said Tuesday.
>They want to end the planned obsolescence of consumer electronics devices and software -- which are often also used as business tools thanks to the consumerization of IT.

Feels good.

>telling others what they should do
Once a communist, always a communist.

reminds me of those lego phones from google there are modular, a noble idea sure but wont it stop progress if regulations become to restrictive/difficult for the average layman?
>>61235432
Enjoy your ultra fat phones.
>>61235748
Is this ultra fat?
>>61235817
Fat and flimsy.

Nor would Apple be able to sell anything. How, exactly, does one open a MacBook without can openers?
>>61237530
huh? have the changed something recently? I have a 2011 MBP and I've never had any issues opening it up.

>poisoning people is the same as dictating how a device should be constructed

Communism has a centrally planned economy. Governments creating regulations to prevent companies from doing abusive and harmful things is literally what capitalism is.

If for example you did not have neough money for the version with more RAM upgrading afterwards is impossible without somebody desoldering the RAM chips and soldering in new ones.
So you either buy the more expensive version directly which obviously has a bigger premium on it or have to buy a new one more often if you need more power.
Opening it to replace the battery will in 99% of times force you to cut the track pad cable as the battery is glued over it.
Lots of other shit.

So i assume the parts are not affected, otherwise it would be retarded to think you can easily repair (aka rated R for retarded) repair a HDD/SDD (like plates fucked up or controller burning harder than a oc'd core i9), a CPU or even a ram dimm, those kind of things of are either working or not, at beast they can warn you in a way (like with a shit ton of data corruption and several kernel panics/bsod).
Still the idea is good for the consumer, i'm fucking tired of shitty microwaves and radios with proprietary connectors, screws and every fucking part soldered or with not even a spare part to get.

Youropoors are only good at telling OTHER COUNTRY'S COMPANIES what to do. Why don't they dictate their own companies how the phones should be made? Oh, that's right... they have none.
>>61237761
It looks like I have the last generation before they started that jewry. That's a shame, I was considering buying a new laptop soon and I guess it's not going to be a mac.
>>61237861
They were already jewry back then.
They used outdated hardware in their macbooks most of the time, but sold it at huge premiums.
There was also the disaster of the untouchable macbooks whose alu case got so hot that it caused skin bunrs even trough clothing and other stuff.
Apple did massive damage control to ensure this knowledge does not spread around, just like when a virus spreads on OSX.

>>61235748
You cannot fucking imagine how much I will enjoy them.
>>61237785
There are no phone making companies outside of China friend.
>>61235432
>It's not all about the hardware: The legislators also point out that many devices could be kept out of landfill if manufacturers were required to issue security updates for software for longer than they do now.
Holio fuck Communism WILL save the world after all.

Assembling is different from designing, retarded friendo. China's only good for telling low IQ retards where to screw something in.
>>61239682
Yeah boyo I sure love being fucked in the ass by that sweet sweet "designed in <some scorching shithole on the West Coast" excise stamp.
Them employee gay parades ain't gonna fund themselves
