We also "drop" decisions, which means the total opposite of what you would think.

It means a decision has been made.

Huh. Misschien zat ik vast in een Dunglish vertaalslag.

Edit: Snelle Google laat zien dat we zeker later tot een besluit kunnen komen. We laten ze ook af en toe vallen. We nemen, geven en breken deze ook.

I'm Dutch and we "come to" a decision.

That is how cats are made.

Because exceptions are old and the new (recycled) kids are much more fun to play with? Or people yearn to implement the low level switch-case pattern error matching mechanism all over again, which try-catch-exceptions were solving.

I think there is no moving on from a paradigm as long as it has a function.

Took me a solid second to get it as well.

That is what I meant?

That it is nice the op has a battery-case for their phone, but that it will not fly under the new law unless the phone has no internal battery.

It states that any battery should be removable and replaceable by the user. So this slap on tactic will only work if your device has no internal battery.

I also noticed this is for all batteries. Not just phones, but also cars etc.

EDIT: As any EU law there is a lot of nuance and exceptions. I dig a little further and found the following:

The regulation introduces requirements that say that portable batteries should be easily removable and replaceable by the end-user and LMT batteries and cells in LMT batteries should be easily removable and replaceable by an independent professional.

So what is LMT?

The regulation defines five battery categories depending on how the battery is used:

• Portable batteries
• Light means of transport (LMT) batteries
• Starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) batteries
• Industrial batteries
• Electric vehicle (EV) batteries

I couldn't find any concrete wording for "easily removed and replaceable". But I sure hope it means no more glue for the portable batteries.

I will say that they still store and use your data some way. They just haven't been caught yet.

Anything you have to send over the internet to a server you do not control, will probably not work for a infosec minded legal team.

Not to mention the current degradation of American Freedoms™, and the constant abuse of the American Election System™ by certain actors.

If you are interested in the subject, this is an interesting medium article.

And should you wish to go directly to the technical source, skipping Medium's stupidity, here you go.

Say that to the graphics devision of computing please.
