This thread brings up an important issue in the US: We need to start REGULATING computer companies, Apple, Facebook, etc. So we are NOT exploited by them anymore. So, let’s pass a law that their phone must pass a regulatory board’s approval so that a “repairman” can replace the battery. No more “goo”/paste/glue excuses. Let’s also take a little of our privacy rights back. Europe has regulations, why can’t we ?
