No wonder, while plenty right wing parties are on the rise here, too, overall people are at least somewhat less removed from actual reality.

We have a fake economy. All investments, researching and efforts could be decided by state (we/public). Protecting society interests and not "investors" interests is an obligation

Does this mean we could potentially order phones from there as US folks?

One sensible right doesn't overweight the never-ending bullshit coming from them.

And imo this is not a sensible right. To change a battery in phones is easy even now. All you need is heat gun (hairdryer), new battery, phone tape (2$ ali) and 30 mins of your time..

Also watter resistance will take a hit.. I wouldn't sink my phone under watter with detachable back cover even if it had ip68 by producer. They don't even cover it in reclamation now.

Compare to how it used to be, removing the battery cover and replacing the battery on the fly. And water resistance with removable batteries has been and can be done. Stop with this nonsense.

True. Between the private healthcare, abortion rights, school shootings…

Oh wait, you weren’t talking about the US?
