Nah. The battery on my old Samsung Galaxy S4 literally just pops out with minor force applied as soon as the cover is off, leaving the phone ready for a new one to be slotted in. That is what "user replaceable" means.

Don't get me wrong, I am familiar with electronics, have a diploma in electrical engineering, have soldered hundreds/thousands of components, etc. and I could do this easily (though I have concerns about heating the battery). But most people cannot currently replace the battery without significant headaches.

What are you reading this week? [7/02/23] in c/books@kbin.social

Right now I'm reading Out by Natsuo Kirino, it's pretty good so far but I haven't gotten too far into it.

The prose is very good, especially the description of menial work and living while poor, and it's really remarkable how the author can make you sympathize with a truly snotty and judgemental main character.

I haven't really got to the meat of the story yet so I'm hoping it gets a bit more fast-paced.
