Those could put some high voltage into the phone and damage it, just don’t.

Sorry for the bad wording, need sleep, lol

Arguing in a racsist way is not a good way to convince people they should do something.

Keep in mind that the battery is the most expensive part and having it replaceable without a screwdriver makes it likely that it will get stolen.

It’s still not hard to replace them. Just use a screwdriver and do it outdoors, in case you short the battery and there’s a fire, so that you don’t put the house on fire as well.

EDIT: And keep a fire extinguisher nearby, batteries can be dangerous.

Batteries can be very dangerous, people shouldn’t build themselves without knowing how to do it safely.

It’s sensible to pay more to not set the house or garage on fire.

Yeah, it is faster because it does not need to heat up a whole oven, of course.

That requires a lot of energy.

I wonder whether convection toaster ovens would need more energy. I don’t need the added functionality, but I like to save energy.

Interesting, I cannot see the 2nd paragraph for some reason. Thanks for pointing that out.

Everything that has a plug will break. It’s still possible to look for decent quality and get something that lasts long.

Looking at iFixit seems like a good start, yup. Thanks.

Of course physics apply, I’m not asking for science fiction. I’ll just replace the fan. But before I choose a product, I want to find a good option.

No electrical device is literally “for life”, but there are still some that last a long time.

Indeed, laptops and even more so power banks, strike me as some of the least BIFL products in existence

Not literally “for life”, sure, but high quality powerbanks can last a long time.

Mine will turn 10 years old in a couple weeks, I see no signs of aging yet.

Fjällräven means arctic fox (literal translation mountain fox) :D

Depends on the risk you’re at. If you’re in a country where having your own opinion is dangerous (Russia, for example) it’s certainly different to a person in Western Europe.

There have been successful attacks on modems and Bluetooth.

It’s about the threat model. It’s complicated and nuanced and does not really fit in here.

But regardless, there’s no reason the hardware couldn’t be supported much longer. Apart from capitalism, of course.

Simply running insecure software does not seem like a good idea…

But not much. If the SoC manufacturer no longer provides firmware updates for the hardware, your custom ROM will not help.

Bluetooth can be turned off, but for security issues in the modem, welll… Not if you want to use it as a phone.

There are some 4G models from Nokia.
