There’s a get-out clause in the law that allows your battery not to be required to be user replaceable if it can last 1,000 cycles while remaining at 80+%. Apple’s phones certainly meet that these days, and I imagine Samsung’s will as well (though I’m not sure if silicon carbide changes that at all).

  > GDPR: "legimate interest" It doesn't allow spying though. It allows, e.g., to save your session if you intentionally logged in.

    That's different setting. Typical "legitimate interest" section is about sharing data with 40 "trusted partners".

      That's just plainly false.

        Have you actually looked at one? I opened Google News. First site I've seen is t3.com - some review of pebble wearable. I was greeted by cookie dialog. I clicked "more info" -> "partners" -> "legitimate interest". 131 vendors, including among other "Adform - agentic advertising" who wishes to store laundry list of my data for 10 years.

        This is illegal under GDPR and should be reported.
