  • For example, coming into effect in 12 days, on the 20th of June, for smartphones and tablets:

    • Durability: Devices should be resistant to accidental drops and protected against dust and water.

    • Battery longevity: Batteries must endure at least 800 full charge and discharge cycles while retaining at least 80% of their original capacity.

    • Repairability: Manufacturers must make critical spare parts available within 5 to 10 working days, and continue offering them for 7 years after the product is no longer sold in the EU.

    • Software support: Devices must receive operating system upgrades for at least 5 years from the end-of-sale date.

    • Repair access: Professional repairers must have non-discriminatory access to any required software or firmware.

    They will also have to include a sticker on packaging that has standardised information on it concerning energy efficiency, battery life, repeated drop test results, battery endurance in charging cycles, repairability score, and water/dust protection rating:

  • It’s not new technology you numpty.

    It’s not news. It’s not a scientific paper. Wireless energy transfer isn’t “bullshit”, it’s been an understood aspect of physics for a long time.

    Since you seem unable to grasp the concept, I’ll put it in bold and italics:

    This is a video of a guy doing a DIY project where he wanted to make his setup as wireless as possible. In the video he also goes over his thoughts and design considerations, and explains how the tech works for people who don’t already know.

    It is not new technology.

    It is not pseudoscience.

    It is a guy showing off his bespoke PC setup.

    It does not need an article or a blog post. He can post about it in any form he wants.

    Personally, I think showcasing this kind of thing in a video is much better than a wall of text. I want to see the process, the finished product, the tools used and how he used them.
