The EU Cyber Resilience Act will effectively make open-source software illegal, and that sure as hell isn’t pro-consumer. Neither is all the spooky surveillance and crippled cryptography they keep trying to mandate.
Yeah, it’s always very two sided with the EU. On the one hand it brings forward a lot of progressive and positive change, on the other hand it’s used to “quietly” walk around the local political climate. Political actors push unpopular things on the EU level, but as soon as people catch wind of it, they market themselves as always having disagreed with them. They often keep pushing for it anyway, because people really don’t notice things on the EU level. Everybody only ever pays attention to the national sphere of politics.
In German politics it’s often the case that high-ranking national politicians that “fail” in the public eye are pushed higher up into the EU level. Take Ursula von der Leyen for example. Too many scandals in Germany, immediately pushed out of the way and now holds an important position in the EU.
How exactly is open source illegal?
I mean… lol
How are they even gonna enforce that?
What, other than profit, is stopping big companies like this from stopping support in the EU if most of their sales are in the US? Would the redevelopment be worth it?
I’m hearing mixed things on how impacted Apple will be re:batteries, since they already sell replacement kits to the users. It sounds like they may just need to make them available to all member states? Not sure if anyone has actual insight beyond reading a headline.
Fuck the EU and forcing me to have a removable battery. It’s fucking stupid. USB C was cool though.
For real fuck them the ass with a hot rod. I do not want your shitty shitty removable batteries.
I mean I see what are you doing with your comments… But still what on earth could you possible have against removable batteries?
“Because everyone is happy with that, so I’ll say nay and that will make me automatically edgy and cool and girls will fling their pussy at me and maybe daddy will come back home”
That makes sense! And you’re also funny and smart, so I’m sure you’ll figure out how to replace your phone battery when all your girlfriends will be doing the same.
Replacing a battery takes 15-30 minutes, you need to do it every three years and there are multiple shops that will do it for $10. Fuck having a fat phone that’s less water proof. You all are simps.
Fatter phones. It takes 15 minutes to replace the current batteries.

This opinion reminds me a bit of Covid. I live in NJ, and was often grateful that our governor (Phil Murphy, Democrat) tried to protect us from Trump’s idiocy. He actually accepts science, unlike some other governors.
