Reason for posting this question - my laptop battery died and it turns out the bios gets reset every time I turn it on now.

Made me think of the old phones I have which cannot be repurposed without getting new batteries…

I guess mandating replaceable batteries is enough but IMHO it should go further

    You might have missed it, but nowadays phones have large displays and fast processors, even cameras and microphones and other sensors.

      If I were to tell someone from 70 years ago, “hold on let me get my phone,” while talking about taking a picture, they would think I’m nuts.
