Starting in 2027, smartphones sold in the European Union will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles.

It should mean phones that actually last longer, cheaper fixes, and a lot less electronic waste piling up.

Manufacturers must also provide spare parts and repair manuals for at least 10 years after a model is released.

“I used to own a hair cutting shop employing 8 people in my town before my father passed away”, said our gym’s security guard to me

He is extremely meticulous, noting down everybody’s time to the last minute. 8:12 in, 8:57 out. “Sir, you did less exercise today than yesterday”. “Your average for this week is 41 mins”. He is a sharp and chatty guy. I used to find him different from the other security guards before him, especially his analytical bent and ability to strike conversation

I understood why, now

“My father’s health treatment cost us 30 lakhs. All that I had made from the business went away”. he continued. Laughing as if it was something normal, he continued in Hindi, “I was completely lost. I would not do anything all day long. Sit around at home. Financially, I was zero, and I had lost my father. I had two young kids to take care of, with a family. I did not know what to do”

All this was beneath that well-dressed, well-spoken, happy smile

“My friend one day said, come with me. You can’t do this. You need to do something. I have something for you”. He and his family packed his bags from a town near Hyderabad. They and their friend travelled all the way to Pune. Both of them landed this job a few years ago

Now he was here, talking to me

“Sir, can you remind me of your card’s expiry date? I always forget it”. 23rd July, 2026, I said. “It’s the last few days I am writing it down, and I want to get it right”.

Worried not that I knew this, I asked him why

“Now everything is alright. I have saved some money. I am going back to my town. I have got a job as a senior real estate broker”. Incredible, as his eyes lit up. His entire life’s redemption arc, compressed in 4 minutes

We get so caught up in our lives. Influenced by stories with millionaires, podcasts, hype, AI, startups. Chasing thousands of likes, financial freedom, national influence. Looking inside our phones, in pursuit. Yet, there are these stories all around us. Of grit, spirit, fight. People changing their life’s trajectory by force of will, to deal with tragedy, survive, and then thrive

I’d never have known if he hadn’t told me. I’m so glad he did

@sarahookr I think it is more about proactively attacking mosquitoes rather than waiting for them to come to you. If not killed, they'll reproduce more. I believe this tech would give them better life. Although it's expensive, most of these scenarios are anyways funded
