Nestie and I are driving the struggle bus these days, mentally, physically, socially... Neither of us can go to work right now and we can't even really afford to get the bus to interviews and medical appointments. We have a little bit of insurance coming in to assist but not nearly enough to keep us housed, much less to keep the lights on or feed ourselves and our cats.

Even a few cents helps. PayPal and Stripe are set up with ko-fi, and moots can DM me for my personal PayPal account or an email for e-transfer if they prefer. Please, help keep two trans guys housed a little longer while we try and get healthy enough to work again.

The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.

The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.

Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.
