Parts pairing- does that refer to shit like how Apple used to pair their home button to the serial number of the phone so you couldn’t replace it? Or how old Xboxes (idk about new ones) would pair the disc drive to the motherboard? About fucking time if so.
Yes. Yes it does.
It took them long enough.
Unfortunately, I think it excludes game consoles.
Curious how california did this as well.
Doesn’t it open the door for every company to claim that their product is a game console as long as it can play snake or some shit?
As long as game consoles are just not in the list, I think there shouldn’t be a loophole like that. But if they explicitly exclude consoles from being affected, there definitely is
Apple is preparing to register the iPhone 16 as an Air Frier just to push this for a year
Yup, that’s it, at least from my understanding.
What would we DO without EU
I’m so glad we left, what good did they ever do /s
What good have the Romans ever done for us anyway?
Apart from helpful laws, easy travel, a consistent currency, consumer and employee protections, more negotiation authority, and humanitarian aid, what has the EU ever done for us?
Peace?
Which was like the original reason for the creation of the EU.
What would we without EU
Spend our time learning to type? 😜
LMAO literally didn’t see it until your comment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conflicts_in_Europe
More wars, I assume.
Do you know the difference between EU and Europe?
The EU didn’t even exist yet during most of those. And where it does it’s still something different.
I think that they share your opinion and are saying that there were way fewer conflicts between EU-members than there would have been without it.
Now that you point it out, I can see that that may be what they were saying.
Yeah, I should’ve explained my point a bit more.
apply to ten categories of products that are currently covered by ecodesign requirements: smartphones and tablets, bicycles (including e-bikes), washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, fridges, displays, welding equipment, vacuum cleaners and servers.
thats dissapointing.
those categories are way to specific,
these laws should apply to way more stuff.smartphones and tablets?
why not computers in general?and john deere execs are pobably laughting their asses of right now.
I wish the US had anything even close to this level of consumer protections and rights.
I prefer having an ambitious law right now, even if it only cover a limited amount of products, than a law that try to cover everything but takes decades to be approved.
The EU for the save…again…

That’s a great idea and can be implemented in the security app or a simple menu in your settings.
Except, how can it tell you how good a part is? Why would I trust what the original manufacturer has to say about it’s competition?
The system to judge a part is between our ears.
Right. They don’t have to give you an opinion about the quality, just that it’s not an original part. The rest is up to the user
What exactly do you think your Apple phone is made of in the first place?

If I buy components I buy extra and test them myself before use. I don’t buy anything used that I can get new and I test before I use. Now my hobbies seldom require me to play with surface mount, and i don’t need displays for anything, but I’m plenty familiar with ordering from one end of the QC department or the other. All that said, you have a far higher opinion of Apple than I do.

I’ve owned two things produced by them. Both were trash out of the box, but perhaps I got "Monday " built devices both times. One came to me as a gift one I bought because my kid asked for it. Both were returned and I have not looked at an apple product since. My only experience is that they are knock offs of themselves and at their price point someone should be ashamed of themselves. My opinion of your opinion stands downvote me again if you want.
That would require capitalists to want to protect your investment. That’s not how capitalists think.

Ignore the truth all you want. What was the technology invented for? It’s FULLY capable of doing what you ask.
Why doesn’t it? Because it was made to protect profits, not the end buyer. Yea it sucks, but ignoring it means it will be even worse the next time I have to point it out to your ignorant ass.

Funny how you go to person insults. Sad. Pathetic. Stay ignorant, you won’t be spared.

Your inability to wrestle with reality will not help.
