Reason for posting this question - my laptop battery died and it turns out the bios gets reset every time I turn it on now.
Made me think of the old phones I have which cannot be repurposed without getting new batteries…
I guess mandating replaceable batteries is enough but IMHO it should go further
You want a landline?
You might have missed it, but nowadays phones have large displays and fast processors, even cameras and microphones and other sensors.
