You can pay $25 for a complete kit (including tools!) to replace a battery yourself. Takes about 10 minutes (check youtube for thousands of examples).
The battery needs to be end-user serviceable: remove an easily removable cover, easily remove the battery, easily insert a new battery, easily replace the cover.
No, it doesn't, as literally every flagship phone has shown us. You replace a battery every year or two and it takes a few minutes. It's not the big deal people make it out to be and it's the reason all the major manufacturers have adopted Apples model. Having a very thin form factor was more important than the extremely irregular battery replacements.
Let it go, it's a non-issue. It hasn't mattered since phones lasted 1-2 (or more) days on a charge.
His motivation is in question here. Just because what you do happens to benefit me doesn't mean you're not a scumbag.
And second of all I don't know how much it did benefit me. Do you think the government stopped those programs and didn't replace them? I'm certainly not sure.
And your opinion of his performance in a movie is truly irrelevant.
Even worse, I believe he was a sharepoint admin. He specifically took the job to try and steal documents (the CIA caught him doing the same and warned the NSA not to hire him). He's not some great savior whistleblower who happened to stumble onto something nefarious. He went searching for something that he could release for fame.
"If Apple were serious about battery life, they'd market battery replacements," Gay Gordon-Byrne, executive director of Repair.org, told me in an email.
Believe it or not, that is one very prevalent theory among flat earthers. They think the first ice wall is to prevent us from seeing the world on the other side of the wall that they're secretly trying to keep us from getting to. I'm not sure who "they" are, of course.
You're just being pedantic. Obviously in normal conversation when someone says "anyone can do it" they just mean most people. If you say "anyone can change their oil" I could say "well what about someone with no arms?" and you'd roll your eyes and say "you know what I mean".
The fact of the matter is, generally speaking, the vast majority of people (even including young children!) are capable of replacing an iPhone battery. Using the term "non user-replaceable" is demonstrable wrong. It's easier to replace an iPhone battery than a toilet fill valve, but no one would argue that those are "non user-replaceable".
I was referring to the general public's perception of autonomous vehicles.
Do you have a source for this, maybe in the form of a poll? I get the impression that people overwhelmingly support autonomous vehicles, or at least semi-autonomous. Admittedly it's totally anecdotal. I just think about all the cars being sold now with adaptive cruise control which is essentially a basic form.
Wine glasses are a specific size and shape for specific wines. I have some ENORMOUS wine glasses, they even dwarf my snifters in volume (obviously with a longer stem). No matter how big the glass is, a wine pour is 4 oz and a bottle is 750ml. That hasn't changed in a very long time.
I've seen children replace iphone batteries. If you're incapable of doing this you're either elderly, profoundly incompetent or have a significant disability. Look it up, it is incredibly easy and takes only a couple of minutes.
FYI: If you take it to a shop and they screw up and breaks the LCD, the replacement will be a cheap knockoff.
While it's certainly possible, making blanket statements like this is just silly.
Any reasonable competent human being can replace an iPhone battery. They sell thousands of kits on amazon to do it yourself, which includes the tools, so it's obviously not aimed at professionals repeating the process. When the vast majority of competent adults can perform the process I think it's safe to say it's "user replaceable". We need to find another term besides "non user-replaceable" which is demonstrably false. I'm a user, I don't work for Apple, I'm not trained in any way. I can order a kit off Amazon and watch a 2 minute youtube video and replace a battery. I can think of dozens of simple home repairs more difficult than this that are performed by millions of people a year.
Do you think the average non-technical person could replace a power supply in a PC? Is it also "non-replaceable" ? It's more difficult to repair a leaky toilet than replace an iphone battery. Can every person do it? No, can the vast majority? Yes.
Find another term besides "not user replaceable" which is demonstrably incorrect. You don't need an engineering degree you need $25, access to youtube and a few free minutes.
Boot time reduction wasn't the primary goal of systemd.
The very first feature touted on the systemd website is the "aggressive parallelization capabilities".
I'm not going to argue over the semantics whether or not it was a "primary goal" which I never even claimed. Reducing boot time is very obviously a goal of systemd.
And basically this is entirely invalidated by designing the phone such that the battery is not user-replaceable.
First of all, I've replaced batteries in iPhones many times and its incredibly easy. Here's a guy replacing one in four minutes. And you can even get a specific set of tools that will make it simple including the battery for around $25.
If that's too complicated there are thousands of places both local and online that will replace your battery for a very nominal fee.
It would take me probably half an hour to replace the PSU in my PC but I don't refer to it as being "not user-replaceable".
The best part is how they want to use systemd to save 12 seconds of boot time on my servers that take 5-10 minutes to boot, once every few years. Anyone who thinks that complexity is worth that negligible difference is insane. Of course there are other arguments for systemd, but don't tell me I need it on my servers so they "boot faster".
I had only really been using Linux for a few years before the onset of systemd, and honestly I think that's part of the problem. People who complain about systemd the most seem to have been using Linux for a very long time and just "don't want to change".
This is a common misunderstanding. No one is saying "don't replace the init system" they're saying "replace it with one that doesn't try to do everything". There are lots of other good options, I'm particularly partial to runit. The init system should be pluggable, I should get a choice of which init system I want to use, just like almost every piece of software on my system.
CCNP-level engineers who knew the network back and forth could easily make huge salaries and they're largely being replaced by SDN managed by the ISP or someone in India.
I definitely disagree with this. We cannot find or retain CCNPs. We have three open positions for CCNA/CCNP right now. And we are SD-WAN customers, we have Citrix SD-WAN deployed at almost 50 locations right now. Don't drink the Kool-Aid, it won't magically replace your need for network admins.
I just don't believe that, sorry. It would just be pure chance. Trying to imply you can somehow manage the distribution of thousands of particles of coffee bean and ensure that it's evenly ground is just silly.
As I said, you're welcome to your opinion. But there are many, many resources on the internet that will disagree with your assessment. And my burr grinder can grind a cup in about 15 seconds and was under $100.
I had the same position about music. I NEVER thought people would be willing to give up actually having files on a disk that they control, but streaming services have crushed mp3 downloads. So I just assume we've kind of embraced this ephemeral culture and expect we won't see hardly any resistance to progressive web apps, siloed centralized data and no true control over what is created.

They do.
That sounds awfully anecdotal. Are there any actual polls?
Maybe there's another wall beyond the ice wall

It's not really that great at this point. Here is a link to the deepfakes submitted posts on reddit.

Thank you for your irrelevant anecdote. I never said it was easier than other phones.

The original source says "people" not "many people". That's also a quote without any proof.

For the record, this is not correct.
