minus-squareBrkdncr@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoHow is this a win? My non-Android device is at 89% health after 5 years. I’m not going to replace the battery, I’m going to replace the device. I’d prefer that we get paid $20 to recycle an old phone so that they actually get recycled.

Which would also make recycling easier funny enough. And pushing to make recycling encouraged. These aren’t opposing ideas.
