None of these companies or people care about environment. They'd burn the earth 50 times over if it means they could profit out of it. Then then can occupy mars with Elon and Linus can hitch a ride.

Also here is Crapple removing charger and other shit lord copy cats like Samsung already followed suit. In the name of environment but will cause more junk in landfills. Everything in name of PR these days. 

 

Yea not PC related but just making a point. They say one thing and doing another. Apple was also bundling a 5W charger with their $1000 phones. Again making people buy more charges. So i guess okay in that sense. Lot of the products are made so hard to repair too. Batteries are first to go and who was first to make them hard to replace. Then all others copy them. So no one is innocent. 

And this is why the new French law that rates the repairability of electronic items so interesting.

Nobody gets fined yet (that only starts next year, so the electronics producers have some grace period), but later on, everybody who rates poorly will have to pay for not making it possible for their users to repair their stuff or getting it repaired and/or not lasting long enough. The law also stipulates that anything that breaks within the first 2 years must get either repaired or replaced for free by the vendor.
