    @tojikomori As someone who repairs these things I can assure you that it’s possible to have replaceable batteries AND water-proofness. Don’t believe the BS that the manufacturers try to sell you in order to ensure you’re beholden to them for all things.

      Why should I believe the word of some random person on the internet? Why should the EU? They are going to take testimony from actual engineers who work on this stuff from multiple manufacturers who are going to say it’s not possible and guess what? The EU is going to believe them.
