Yeah, I get it, I just remember phones exploding into 3 parts whenever you dropped it as well as the back cover wearing out to the point it wouldn't even stay on. People really do just have the nostalgia blinders on; as long as there isn't an arbitrary lockout there's nothing wrong with having to open the phone to swap the battery. Plus you have a 0% chance of being SOL if you get a cheap Chinese battery and it blows up (the shop that swapped your battery would be on the hook).

Source? Or, or more specifically, model numbers of these waterpoof walkmans?

How do you swap batteries on most phones nowadays in 5 seconds?

Where did I say anything about swapping the battery in 5 seconds? So if it takes longer than 5 seconds it doesn't count?

Nah whoever told that was bsing you, It was started by Tim Stokely a British businessman.

There was a definite change in the way discourse was had in r/politics, r/news

There was a huge astroturfing campaign carried out by CTR/ShareBlue during the 2016 US election cycle. Someone even exposed this and was permabanned like 2 days later.

This is partially covered here by public modlogs. The previous Reddit Powermods at least won't touch Kbin with this in place; Bardfinn even tried to claim public modlogs would violate the ADA. That's not to say other powermods who don't care about the public logs wouldn't come into play.

I think FDS has been, very thankfully, inactive for the better part of a year. They ragequit because they got triggered that the TOS applied to them for once.

Political Compass Memes and he's bsing lol. Ironic people bash the hardest on one of the few non-toxic subs where you could at least have a little fun.

Funny thing on Reddit there quite literally was an astroturfing campaign paid for by CTR/Shareblue. That's why r/politics turned into the toxic cesspit it remains today.

Just don't buy fruit-branded phones and you can generally swap the battery without much hassle.

Lmao no this is shit. Say goodbye to durability as well as any water resistance while making phones bulkier to boot. You can already swap the battery on most non-fruit-branded phones while maintaining water resistance if you do it right (actually it would "reup" the water resistance if anything due to fresh adhesive, again assuming it's done right).
