We absolutely could. But we won't as manufacturers want to use batteries in shapes they want. In the case of laptops of bigger this also often ends up with there still being space despite them using a custom size. We were pretty close

Of course private tutoring is one of the most effective ways. But you can't have a private tutored lesson while in a queue at the supermarket. Or on a train. Or while you wait for the water to boil. Of course the government pay for y

Actual meditation, as in some transient state of awareness? Absolute bull. Guided relaxation exercises? Sure. And if having someone to guide you relax helps, whether you pay them or not, sure if you feel it helps. Regulating your breathi

The only thing that I've seen almost universally get kids to try to learn to touch type with enthusiasm (perhaps too much) are games. Just like how using Scratch is like (well is) playing a game. Coming at children's learning from

It's (unsurprisingly) met all the same barriers that other subjects have met in education. The notion that there are visual learners etc. now doesn't seem to true (and possibly even a bit of a scam). But different approaches do a

They are both equal problems. And if forced to, phones absolutely could be upgradeable software wise and still be quite secure, just like PCs.

Never said anything about prices. This is about quality and safety. And the latter almost always comes down to regulations.

You do know where you are, right? This is more of an educational/for the sake of it project than anything else. Something that fits in perfectly here. It's not trying to attract 9-year-olds who scream insults about your mother d

Because much of that is rose-tinted. I tried playing GoldenEye again. I regret tarnishing those wonderful memories now. Halo wasn't as bad, but still not great.

Mate, companies are out to make as much money as possible. Publicly traded ones are even obliged to by law. So no, this isn't some hippy=dippy 'socialist' thing. It's basic common sense and decency.

And none of that is justification for environmental pollution, wasting resources, and potentially human suffering if the device ends up in an e-waste dump somewhere in Africa.

The more variables any one product as, the less 'choice by wallet' works. Choosing between a battery-farm chicken and a free-range chicken has one variable - the provenance. But then let's say you like KFC for their 'se

If they want to design, manufacture, and sell rugged devices, then they should shoulder the costs. If they don't want to, then they can make something less rugged. No excuses for resource waste and pollution.

Ummm, you chose one of the standards that compared to the tier below it is only differentiated by manufacturers' own specifications.

Democracy isn't and shouldn't be absolute. And you do realise that no countries have complete democracy? Even Switzerland with their many referendums doesn't put every decision to a democratic vote. Partly for practical and

It's unpopular because it makes you a selfish cunt. And yes, many, if not most people are selfish cunts in many ways. Myself included. But that does not make it good. It is something that you, I, and everyone else should be deeply as

Considering their previous one with a replaceable battery lasted a decade, something tells me that's a terrible excuse you are giving them. Please don't excuse wanton waste. It's not a good look.

Not ones anywhere near the 'flagships'. It's a niche, but those us who do want hardly have even the option to 'vote with our wallets'. Especially for something that has become near a necessity. And you completely

There are almost no recent smartphones with replaceable batteries. None of them very good. And that's because the companies making them have almost all the power. The power of the consumers' wallet is essentially zero.

Sustainability-wise, parts need to have a significant mark-up. Otherwise: 1. People will either themselves bodge devices together, or get someone else to do so. 2. Companies will find it hard to sell new products if they can all be fixed e

Offer Ukraine bursaries and low-interest loans. Then over time take money from Russia as possible. Plus all the frozen assets.

Oi. Let us enjoy some anecdotes. We all know that pretty much all of us here have nothing to really add to the discussion, so we might as well have some fun.

I'm not sure if it's in the same vein, and I'm showing my youth here, but: In primary/elementary school there were a couple of Russian students. One called Vova was in my class. One day he stole my Pokémon game. Fair(
