    Cool! The EU's looking at tackling repairability and life expectancy of devices:

    "Devices should also be easier to repair: batteries and other components should be freely accessible for replacement, unless safety dictates otherwise. Manufacturers will also need to give other companies access to their components so that consumers can visit those companies for repairs."
