  • account suspended

    I was Wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else? Logged into twitter today to discover my account was suspended, I have like 3 retweets and I follow a wide scope of users. Can't think of anything that would get me suspended other than I do use a VPN.

    Requested a reason from the twitter team but I have not had a reply yet.

    EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk!
  • Most of the enviromental impacts are from mining and disposal, or lack of recycling. I looked it up and there is a 90% recovery rate for the minerals in the batteries alone if done properly.

    Maybe asking manufacturers to make more batteries per model isn't a good answer, it has an additional cost of resources per model/battery and most people do not dispose of batteries correctly anyway and just dump them in the trash. It might be better enviromentally to offer real incentives to manufacturers, retailers and people to return their phones and recycle,reproccess the existing components.

    I worked in enterprise IT support for 10 years and battery degredation/failure in laptops and mobile devices was not that much of an issue. Waste electrical and electronic equipment however, who knows how much is actually recycled properly, even most house hold batteries are thrown in the trash.

  • I agree, I think this is a miss. This will just mean more batteries will be manufactured. Most people will replace the device before the battery performance degrades.

    Unless the battery is a universal/interchangable model this will increase waste as the manufacturer will have to make replacements available per model.

    People will also perhaps then buy replacement batteries when handing down/selling devices, where they would have just have managed with degraded performance in the past.

    Sounds good but I don't know really.
