- xandrius 3mo agoThey will still get all the flak, facts never mattered.
- bryanlarsen 3mo agoAnd just like everything moving to USB-C, they won't get credit for the Switch 3 et al having replaceable batteries world-wide.
- bigfishrunning 3mo agoI don't know about that, i think it's pretty common knowledge that the EU caused the iPhone port change, and it's generally regarded as a good thing
- hbn 3mo agoI'm preparing to release my first app to the App Store and they're currently requiring me to dox myself if I want to sell in the EU. Which facts am I missing that makes this not very inconvenient for me?

- drstewart 3mo agoThis. The top problems facing the world are gaming consoles' charging sources. Everything else is thankfully solved.
- patrickmcnamara 3mo agoNothing should be improved unless it solves world hunger.
- bluescrn 3mo agoIt's not about games consoles. It's about reducing the mountains of e-waste. We shouldn't be throwing away laptops, smartphones, or consoles - or soon, entire EVs, just because the battery has degraded.
