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
If I were to tell someone from 70 years ago, “hold on let me get my phone,” while talking about taking a picture, they would think I’m nuts.
