minus-square2ZR_FXE@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years ago The European Parliament also caused a major headache for all super small and wearables manufacturers too. Well… It seems device manufacturers should have thought of that before starting shipping glued electronics 😊 No one likes to pay €80+ to replace their phone’s battery.
